How can I setup 2 player controls for emulators other than Mame. Specifically for the "arcade" set of emulators.

[BuZz]

@boie Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

[rbaker]

@boie said in How can I setup 2 player controls for emulators other than Mame. Specifically for the "arcade" set of emulators.:

But Arcade doesn't seem to have any setup option

It's just a folder, not an emulator.

[boie]

@rbaker well then for the folder

[rbaker]

@boie There are no setup options for folders because they are folders. What is your question regarding this?

[boie]

@rbaker I can't get my second player active in anything other than Mame.

[rbaker]

@boie Its all in the instructions provided as detailed:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation#controller-configurations
and
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration

[boie]

@rbaker yea I've done all that and got one player working fine, still doesn't help with my two player setup. But thanks for trying.

[rbaker]

@boie You haven't or it would be working. I have an ipac too and it works out of the box after auto configure. You should post the config file that you are using for retroarch so that people can assist you and fill out the form as advised by buzz in the second post.

[boie]

@rbak## Skeleton config file for RetroArch

Save all save files (*.srm) to this directory. This includes related files like .bsv, .rtc, .psrm, etc ...

Sets how many milliseconds to delay after VSync before running the core.

Can reduce latency at cost of higher risk of stuttering.

Maximum is 15.

video_frame_delay = 0

Inserts a black frame inbetween frames.

Useful for 120 Hz monitors who want to play 60 Hz material with eliminated ghosting.

video_refresh_rate should still be configured as if it is a 60 Hz monitor (divide refresh rate by 2).

video_black_frame_insertion = false

Use threaded video driver. Using this might improve performance at possible cost of latency and more video stuttering.

video_threaded = "true"

If this is not set, aspect ratio is assumed to be automatic.

Behavior then is defined by video_aspect_ratio_auto.

aspect ratio is decided by libretro implementation.

If this is false, 1:1 PAR will always be assumed if video_aspect_ratio is not set.

It is a regular RGB hex number, i.e. red is "ff0000".

video_message_color = ffffff

Video refresh rate of your monitor.

Used to calculate a suitable audio input rate.

video_refresh_rate = 59.95

Allows libretro cores to set rotation modes.

Setting this to false will honor, but ignore this request.

This is useful for vertically oriented content where one manually rotates the monitor.

video_allow_rotate = true

Forces a certain rotation of the screen.

The rotation is added to rotations which the libretro core sets (see video_allow_rotate).

The angle is <value> * 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

audio_driver =

Override the default audio device the audio_driver uses. This is driver dependant. E.g. ALSA wants a PCM device, OSS wants a path (e.g. /dev/dsp), Jack wants portnames (e.g. system:playback1,system:playback_2), and so on ...

audio_device =

Audio DSP plugin that processes audio before it's sent to the driver. Path to a dynamic library.

Maximum amount of users supported by RetroArch.

input_max_users = 16

input_axis_threshold = 0.5

Enable input auto-detection. Will attempt to autoconfigure

joypads, Plug-and-Play style.

input_autodetect_enable = "true"

Show the input descriptors set by the core instead of the

default ones.

input_descriptor_label_show = true

Hide input descriptors that were not set by the core.

input_descriptor_hide_unbound = false

Influence how input polling is done inside RetroArch.

0 : Early - Input polling is performed before call to retro_run.

1 : Normal - Input polling is performend when retro_input_poll is

requested.

2 : Late - Input polling is performed on first call to retro_input_state

per frame

Setting it to 0 or 2 can result in less latency depending on

your configuration.

When netplay is enabled, the default polling behavior (1) will

be used regardless of the value set here.

input_poll_type_behavior = 1

Directory for joypad autoconfigs.

If a joypad is plugged in, that joypad will be autoconfigured if a config file

corresponding to that joypad is present in joypad_autoconfig_dir.

Input binds which are made explicit (input_playerN_*_btn/axis) will take priority over autoconfigs.

Autoconfigs can be created with retroarch-joyconfig, manually, or with a frontend.

Requires input_autodetect_enable to be enabled.

joypad_autoconfig_dir = "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/"

Sets which libretro device is used for a user.

Devices are indentified with a number.

This is normally saved by the menu.

input_state_slot_increase = "up"
input_state_slot_decrease = "down"

Toggles between fast-forwarding and normal speed.

input_toggle_fast_forward = space

Hold for fast-forward. Releasing button disables fast-forward.

which query a large area of the keyboard, where it is not desirable

that hotkeys get in the way.

Alternatively, all hotkeys for keyboard could be disabled by the user.

netplay_ip_port = 55435

Misc

Enable rewinding. This will take a performance hit when playing, so it is disabled by default.

rewind_enable = "false"

Rewinding buffer size in megabytes. Bigger rewinding buffer means you can rewind longer.

The buffer should be approx. 20MB per minute of buffer time.

rewind_buffer_size = "10"

There is no upper bound on the index.

Slowmotion ratio. When slowmotion, content will slow down by factor.

slowmotion_ratio = 3.0

The maximum rate at which content will be run when using fast forward. (E.g. 5.0 for 60 fps content => 300 fps cap).

RetroArch will go to sleep to ensure that the maximum rate will not be exceeded.

Do not rely on this cap to be perfectly accurate.

If this is set at 0, then fastforward ratio is unlimited (no FPS cap)

fastforward_ratio = 0.0

Enable stdin/network command interface.
