      Re: [controller works in menu](but not in game and some games don't launch)

      Hi everybody,

      When I first set up my retro pie I had no issues playing 4 player games like Boomerman 3 with 4 players. Something happened (kids playing unsupervised) Now my 4 player games aren’t working with 4 players. I have tried reconfiguring my gamepads with no luck.

      Weird behavior gamepads 3 and 4 work in main menus for scrolling and choosing games but once I get into the games they don’t work. Any suggestions or resets I can do to fix this?

      What my Retro Pie is made of

      • raspberry pi 3 B
      • Emulationstation V2.6.3RP
      • 4 USB SNES gamepads
      • eleduino USB Power Adapter
        • input 100-240V 50/60 Hz

        @ClassicCottrell Check if the Player3/Player4 device type is set to 'RetroPad'. snes9x also has a Multitap device type for P2 (https://docs.libretro.com/library/snes9x/#multitap).
