Xin-Mo arcade controls - switch player 1 and player 2?

[pohlinger31]

Hello Everybody,

I just recently finished an arcade cabinet running retropie, and it is awesome!

However, the last step is proving very difficult. I got all the controls wired up, I am using the Xin-Mo arcade controls, and got retropie to recognize it as 2 gamepads using this wiki: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Xin-Mo-Controller

I was so happy when it recognized two gamepads, but now I have another problem: the player 1 and player 2 controls are reversed. So player 2 is on the left side of the arcade and player 1 is on the right. I followed the wiring scheme that came with the controls assuming player 1 was on the left of the diagram but obviously this was wrong.

So, I am really looking for a way to swap the gamepad mapping for player 1 and player 2 in the retropie configuration, without having to rewire the controls. If anybody knows of a fix for this I would greatly appreciate the steps I would need to take to get this working.

Thank you,
~Phil

open up **

• /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/"whatever the xin mo file is called".cfg** and add this to it:

• input_player1_joypad_index = "1"

• input_player2_joypad_index = "0"

this will at least fix all emulators using retroarch. other emulators probably have an option to do the same in their config file
