      Hi guys,
      I'm having this weird issue with my arcade joysticks. When I configured the player one using EmulationStation it works great, but the player two gets all messed up, then if I try to configure player two, again through EmulationStation, it goes fine for that player but then the player one gets messed up.

      Any ideas?

        @nicolassiandro what do your joysticks register as? Do you have all of the joysticks wired exactly the same?

          Under "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads" I see them as DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick. I do not think they are wired exactly the same :(

            @nicolassiandro I have dragonRise as well. You need them wired exactly the same or they will not function properly. Every wire and every connection need to be identical.

                @nicolassiandro yeah just to confirm they both have to be wired the same. I tore my hair out with this one and it turned out i'd wired the 2nd joystick wrong...
