      Hello guys

      I´m experiencing some problems using retropie with my homemade two players joystick.
      I built the joystick interface following this site´s info.
      http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:mamepanel

      The problem is that retropie doesn´t regognise this dual joystick. It takes both sticks as if they were the same.

      Time ago I was using my raspberry pi 2 and retropie 3.2.1, and I got a solution on this thread...

      http://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/autofire-on-the-axis/page/4/

      I downloaded and installed the custom kernell posted on the thread, and it started to recognise the joystick as dual.

      But now I have a raspberry pi 3, and I have to use retropie 3.6 or 3.7, and now this trick doesn´t work.

      Does anybody know a way to solve this problem on a raspberry pi3?

      Thanks in advance.

        So, with this setup, it doesn't register as two events or two jsX entries at /dev/inputs/?

          Making RetroPie identify 2 players instead of one with the Xin-Mo, THT Arcade console 2P USB Player

          Add the following to /boot/cmdline.txt (just add a space to the existing entry so its all on one line)
          usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040

          The first two numbers the vendor/product (16c0 and 05e1).
          You can find your vendor/product using lsusb
