Conflicting joysticks?

@bogdanripa also js2 should show up as the player 2 joystick in your current setup

@bogdanripa have you set up joystick 2 in emulationstatio? You stated above that you see that 2 joysticks are recognized, but you only set up the buttons for one? You need to follow the same steps for the second controller. It will recognize the button presses as the same but it should now let you operate the 2 controllers independently.

It won't let me set-up the 2nd controller... And the fact that in command line (jstest) I see both controllers as one means this is a drivers problem...

Either way - I fixed it by simply rewiring the joystick buttons to map "regular" buttons and then set it up like this.

I have a few missing buttons now but at least all works just fine...

@bogdanripa sounds like you have a solution. If you continue to have issues I would recommend getting a separate encoder for each joystick/controls. The easyget zero delay USB encoders seem to work well. They are recognized as individual dragonrise controls.

Hi @bogdanripa!

I have the same USB controller and finally got it recognized as 2 controllers in Emulationstation:

The solution: You must set a "quirk" for the usbhid module

Follow the instructions here:
Be aware that the vendor / product ID might differ. (Check via lsusb, the USB name for the double usb CY-2121 controller is "Personal Communications Systems, Inc")
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Xin-Mo-Controller

I'm using RetroPi via Ubuntu 16.04, so here's how I managed this for Ubuntu:

Search for the vendor ID / Product ID via lsusb
create a file named "usbhid.config" under /etc/modprobe.d/"
Add the following line to the file: "options usbhid quirks=0x0810:0xe001:0x00000040"
- 0810 is the VendorID
- e001 is the product ID
Save the file
run "sudo update-initramfs - u - k $(uname -r)"
Restart your PC
check via "cat /sys/mmodules/usbhid/parameters/quirks", if the quirk has been applied successfully
Take al look into "/dev/input": There should be a js0 and a js1 now

@absolut1978 tks.! has worked on arch

sudo rmmod usbhid && sudo modprobe usbhid quirks=0x0810:0xe301:0x00000040

I was just detecting a 20 button joypad xD, If you pressed joypad1 up, player 2 also moved, and it is fixed.

My joypad is this

@absolut1978 hi! I'm new and I'm a noob, sorry BTW haha, but what should I do if I try to update and it says that /boot/initrd.img-4.4.38-v7+ does not exist. Cannot update. I'm on a raspberry pi model 3B. Thanks!

hi I'm Italian I'm using a translator, I built a bartop all ok I have the same problem with that twin game usb encoder on the back surface and RB3b +

I searched for id product vendor and it is the same one already found by other users I created the file.config, but I have the doubt that the extension should be. conf because all the files in the /etc/modprobe.d/ folder are. conf then I ask you confirmation if the file must be. conf o config.
I follow the guide and then execute the command sudo update-initramfs - u - k $ (uname -r) but it gives me invalid argument -
I ask you if you can follow me step by step I don't want to solve it, it's like seeing only one joystick equal for all 2 levers

archfranck

@archfranck

i have this encoder.
if I do not solve I was thinking of buying another one and so I connect it with another usb and solve it and so it sees them as 2 different usb ... I'm going crazy not risdo to play with 2 players ..

@archfranck you should have opened a new topic, instead of re-opening a 2 years topic.
Follow the instructions on https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Xin-Mo-Controller and report back if you have any problems.

ok resolve tanks
