@mitu oh never mind. I updated all of the core packages and returned to normal. I'll be posting something here if anything breaks again.

Thanks guys, this was very helpful. I just ordered the
I-PAC2. =)

@iandaemon said in Zero Delay USB encoder Joystick issue:

Depending on what country you live in it may be opposite with the hot/neutral wires. I'm in the U.S. and our wiring is opposite of China in terms of colors. (Here traditionally black is the hot wire; in China red is traditionally the hot wire.) This is for the buttons though.

FYI
The terms of hot and neutral only apply to AC. And yes different countries use different color codes. The encoders don’t use AC, but DC (the joystick switches can pass either or ).When it comes to DC, the standard everywhere, as far as I know, is red for positive and black for negative/dc ground. Just look at a car battery

@mitu im using mame 2003 and fb alpha 2012

That's still very little information - how is the gamepad connnected ? What version of RetroPie are you using ? How did you install it ? Did you configure the gamepad in EmulationStation ?

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

this might need a quirk fix. Can you post pictures clear ones of player one and two wiring for buttons and joystick

Does anyone have any idea why the mapping for the up motion on joystick would be different for player 1 than player 2? This problem only occurs on ultimate mortal kombat. I'm sure the joysticks are wired properly.

Glad to hear that you are making progress!

It should always be possible to use the ControlBlock together with any USB controller. You would just need to run the input configuration for each device on EmulationStation. All controller types should be recognised and working afterwards.

Regarding your question about the need for an additional keyboard: What you would need to do is to configure the emulators such that you have full control with your arcade / gamepad controls only. That should be possible.

Hope that helps!

Hi, firstly, the thing of DragonRise Controller is weird, I have agamepad and is also recognizable as a DragonRise, but I guess it happens when the controller s not officil. Second, arcade joysticks (The ones you bought) are not analog, they are 8-way sticks. Anyway, there are a few N64 games that work with the pad, like Kirby one.

@schmiddyman said in 2 joystick cabinet configuration issues:

gpio=13,11,15,19,10,8,-1,16,18,-1,-1 gpio2=31,29,33,35,24,-1,-1,26,-1,32,36,-1,-1

From a cursory view.
Unless you used the hotkey-btn branch your provided list for gpio2 is too long.
In your gpio parameters you provide 16 Pins/Buttons but initially you mention 15 buttons?!

However, good to see you found a different solution.

@redrumpanda Some things you can't dumb down much further, and the Wiki is already written (mostly) to be understood by laymen. But you'll need to be willing to learn and that always requires some time and effort.

Let's start by collecting more information:

Which operating system is on your Laptop? Are your Pi and Laptop connected via network?

@dankcushions Thanks man

Hi Guys

My Controller is finished and it work very well wireless YEAH

Here are some Pictures of it:

@caver01 I second this. On the BYOAC forums there's lot of advice to find regarding the build itself, but note that not everyone thinks very highly of Raspberry Pi's there, so questions regarding this is better asked in this excellent site :)

Wow, it looks awesome.

If you require 2 players with joystick and up to 8 buttons on each control (equivalent to SNES controller) you could hook up directly to the gpio using mkarcadejoystick module that is in the drivers in Retropie.

I have 2 cabinets using this system.
