      @UndeadSoul There's nothing to fix. That's how arcade games are built. Pac-Man didn't have two joysticks. Street Fighter did.

      @demonscythe Hey!, I never got this resolved unfortunately. I stopped using the Piboy and got an Odroid Go Super instead, because of some multiple reasons. Maybe if you post your log here others may be able to help out. I don't know if ExperimentalPi's script auto makes the DMG controls 1st player, but that is also something to ask them about. Let me know if I can help in any way though.

      @alain said in Keyboard hotkey setting gets overwritten when using keyboard and controller as the same player:

      e the dedicated exit button to leave the game.
      The hotkey button from the controller player one is expected to be pressed and

      there is no need do disable hotkeys at all just use game focus mode

      Thanks guys - that sorted it. No idea what config files I've been finding and deleting until now, but that first location had the default.cfg and tons of seperate game ones too. Wiped them all, rebooted and mame seems to be fine now.

      Many thanks for your contributions. Case solved!

      @colebeansbroskie if you have two sets of joysticks and buttons you have to set up the buttons the exact same way. You never have to configure player 2. Once you set up one, after rebooting your system both will work. If the buttons are different on player 2, it means you put them in the wrong order. You need to set up player one then reboot. Then go into a game that uses all your buttons and in that game press a button on player one and see what it does. then find that same button on player two. Now put that button in the same spot player one has it. Keep doing that until all the buttons match.

      @surfrock66 if you are about to explode with so much desire to use RGUI, the advice I give is: use it through emulationstation RetroPie menu only. And do not enable "Save Config on Exit" when playing games.

      We got some improvements to decrease the madness of the RGUI fans, but it's still confusing. ;-)

      I was too verbose in the previous post. Let me summarize:

      The all_users_control_menu doesn't make all plugged controllers control the menu. Actually it just makes all controllers bound to a player control the menu.

      If I have a plugged controller not bound to any player, this controller can not control the menu.

      Changing Device Index on-the-fly still can bring some unpleasant situations, like I detailed here (the all_users_control_menu decreases the chance to make it happen, though).

      @meleu said in iPac 2 and USB SNES controllers, Player 1 issues:

      @briankross Check it out:
      https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection

      I think this will solve your problem. ;-)

      Thank you!

      For what I want to do, it looks like I just need to configure this once and I'm good to go. When I unplug and replug the SNES gamepads, the first one I plug in is Player 1, next is Player 2, and iPac 2 is always Player 3 which seems to be just fine for MAME and navigating Emulation Station.

      Woo! Thanks again!
