      @bobharris @mediamogul what i did was in the mapper, map joystick 1 button 1 to “Y”, joystick 1 button 2 to “X”, joystick 2 button 1 to “B”, joystick 2 button 2 to “A” and mapped the players directions to the left and right analog sticks. Then in the dosbox conf file i set my joystick as a 4 button 4 axis joystick . That way both players controls get set as a 1 player joystick with 4 buttons and two analog sticks. No need for me to change any configs that way.

        Nice. It's been a while since I set up my main config, but I seem to remember doing the same thing to get four buttons. If memory serves, I believe that ability was first put in place specifically for the Gravis gamepad, which was the only PC controller to have four buttons for many years. Looking at all the options available now, we've really come a long way.

          I uninstalled and reinstalled DOSBox with the dispmanx SDL1 backend and it corrected my issue with screen tearing.
