@jacreason Did you ever figure out how to do this. I just bought the same board and want to be able to two player xinput (gamepad) and also one player with two stick play if I can with it.

I do enjoy a good Pilsner but I meant couldn’t. Also, all of the 2 dragonrise buttons are in identical ports.

I think your problem is that all controllers (both the arcade and the N64) have the same name and Vendor/Model IDs, making them appear as the same controller to the system.
When you configure your N64 controller(s), the arcade buttons configuration is overwritten - since they appear the same - and thus your configuration is broken.
Here's a topic discussing this - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/6264/you-have-to-use-identical-controllers-for-multiplayer-games-please-prove-me-wrong - but it's not the only topic with this problem.

Thanks. Worked perfectly.

@dankcushions

Thanks!
I've understand to use "Controls" for button assign for input.

@watford98 said in Switching between arcade and gamecube controls:

Q1 - Can i plug some of the mayflash type adapters into one of the ports and have this work in tandem for certain games.

Yes, sure.

Q2 - How would i set it up so that the control type could be switched for different games.

You can use the joystick selection tool created by @meleu [1] or look in the RetroArch configuration editor and switch the player mapping (i.e. P1 would be the GC controller for a certain system).

I've just setup my first Raspberry Pi 3 Retropie and my GameSir-G3w is working fine.

I only have pics scraped. I used the default scraper, so I will backup my roms folder and the mentioned paths, I hope they are accesible in windows over the network . :)

@thedatacereal

Not a problem. If you run into any trouble, just let me know.

Well, I gave up on this and sent the controller back to Amazon. I then took my wife to Gamestop to buy a second Wii U Pro Controller, which is, by far, the best and most reliable controller for Retropie (that I've experienced, anyway).

@ulao

Very nice. It looks like the Bliss-Box is shaping up to be the de facto adapter solution.

@southblazia You don't need to install any additional drivers for a DS4, as soon as your pair it via Bluetooth it should be ready to be configured in ES. Please give more information about your setup as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu I fixed the issue! I knew that the issue was coming from the retroarch.cfg in the gen/ps1 system and snes worked fine so by using that retroarch.cfg it worked great! Thanks for the help on figuring that out.

@edmaul69 I recently bought a controller with the same label, but this it is not pairing at all.
When I connect it, it does not vibrates at all, and only the first light flashes. Thats odd.
Any idea of how to pair and register this controller?

I have two shanwan clones and they work fine with the driver.
I also tried to pair this new one with original drivers, and all of the package but with no luck (actually I bougth 2 controllers and have the same behavior).

Inside the es_input I notice:
Playstation(R)3 controoler (an original ps3 controller)
SHANWAN PS3 GamePad (for the shanwan clone)
PS3 Controller (for this one)

Any ideas?

So what happened was, I didn't think I wanted ALL of RPie when I started. So I cloned a Emulationstation repos...

with retropie-setup you can install as little or as much of retropie as you like.

@mitu said in RetroPie controller set up issue:

@ranma The problem in this topic is specific to the xpad driver, which powers the Xbox 360/One controllers, it's not a general one.
Basically, after an update of kernel, the xpad RetroPie driver was not installed and overwritten by the default one, which is sometimes incomplete depending on the model. This has been reported after the 4.4 was released, but was fixed some time ago https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/commit/f6e5a6d70512fc796a4fb535ddf1b44ea985db47.

Oh I see. I assumed as the Logitech F710 switch had to be set to X input rather than D that this issue was effectively the same as mine. I'll start a new thread when I decide to have another attempt and if the problem resurfaces. Many thanks. :-)

I will try that ASAP

gotcha. let me refresh ans use that image. thanks for the feedback.
