What game are you trying to play ? Are you adding coins for the 2nd player also ?

@mitu
i start pacman ( for example )
insert coins ( select button x times) and press start on Controller 1 on start .
so i can play a singleplayer mode pacman.
i have many coins so that i can play 2 player.
i press start on the second controller -> nothing happens
i press select on the second controller -> nothing happens.
i go back in the selection and can navigate with both controller in the gamelist.
so i dont know where i can define the 2 player button in acarde mode

Packman is not the best example - while 2 player game, players played alternatively and there is only one set of controls. Can you try something like Street Fighter, where both players can play at once and see if it works ?

i only want two know, who i can activate the player 2 button.
is it the select button on the second controller, or is it the start button ?
or how can i define the player 2 button ?

Fred4711

i try street fighter later

@Fred4711 P2 is identical to P1 as far as controls are concerned, especially if the controllers are configured the same.

great thanx. so the 2 player must be the start button on the second controller.
perfect. so i have configured the buttons. but if i hit it, i cant play. so there must be an Option to set the which button is the 2 player mode button
