2 player joysticks

ddoherty958

I am making a 2 player arcade machine and I have configured both players controls, but player 2’s left controls player 1 as well, and you can see how this would be bad in a game like mario bros. Raspberry pi B+, official power supply.

I tried using the method in the docs, altering the cmd.txt file but it’s still the same!

@ddoherty958 Unless you fill out the form in full to inform helpers what your actual setup is, replies are futile and pointless since people will be asking you for the information requested on that form.

I’m using xinmotek xinmotek dual controller on a raspberry pi b+. When I play a 2 player game like mario bros if one person goes left mario AND Luigi both go left. Right is ok and for some reason player 1’s up makes player 2 go right. What is going wrong?

What have you tried already? What have you typed? Where have you typed it? Do you have keyboard configured? Whats guides have you followed already?

@ddoherty958 You could at least specify the model/make of the controller you're using. You're giving almost no information about your system and configuration for use to try and find the problem.

@mitu

Sorry. I am using an xinmotek dual controller sourced on arcade world uk. I have tried changing the cmd.txt file as specified in retropie docs. The controller is an arcade joystick and 4 buttons.

@rbaker

The mario bros is run in quickNES

The thing I have already tried is:https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Xin-Mo-Controller/

The dual arcade one

I use 4 sticks and 8 buttons per stick, on Raspberry Pi 3B, player 1 and 3 are on 1 Xinmotec board and players 2 and 4 are on another. Edited the boot file with the relevant text as specified in the docs and it worked perfectly.

@ddoherty958 Unless you start posting configs of what you have typed, its impossible to help you. Had you done this, you would probably be running by now.

rbaker

@ddoherty958 Are you confident that it is even wired correctly and gives out the correct responses?

@rbaker

Player 2 works fine controlling the menu.

I did this:

Add the following to /boot/cmdline.txt -- just add a space to the end of the existing entry, so it is all on one line):

If you have a "Juyao Dual Arcade", it is the same device, but the vendor ID is 0314 and the product ID is 0328:

usbhid.quirks=0x0314:0x0328:0x040

rbaker

@ddoherty958 So post the file from your pi so the community can check that you have typed correctly etc.etc. i.e correct vendor and product id etc. etc. How did you edit the file? Did you save on exit? etc..

mitu

@ddoherty958 Can you post the output of sudo lsusb (while the controller is plugged in) and the content of the /boot/cmdline.txt ?

ddoherty958

@rbaker

Thgis is the CDM.txt file:

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=14a75fe9-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait loglevel=3 consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 usbhid.quirks=0x0314:0x0328:0x040

I can't upload files yet

mitu

@ddoherty958 The name of the file is cmdline.txt, not cmd.txt.
