      My setup is:

      0 - snes gamepad 1
      1 - snes gamepad 2
      2 - xarcade tankstick 1
      3 - xarcade tankstick 2

      This works great for most systems, but for arcade I wanted the xarcade tankstick to be players 1 and 2, so I editing the retroarch.cfg in .../configs/arcade to be:

      input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/arcade/"

      input_player1_joypad_index = "2"
      input_player2_joypad_index = "3"
      input_player3_joypad_index = "0"
      input_player4_joypad_index = "1"

      #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

      This is all working as planned. However, there are certain games where I want xarcade tankstick 2 to be player 3 in the emulator (e.g. in NBA Jam so that if two people are playing they will be on opposite teams). I have added nbajam.zip.cfg in .../roms/arcade that has this:

      input_player1_joypad_index = "2"
      input_player2_joypad_index = "0"
      input_player3_joypad_index = "3"
      input_player4_joypad_index = "1"

      but this doesn't work. Is there something I'm missing?
