      Hey Guys,

      I want to play Mega Bomberman with 3 additional players. I can configurate this in the game but in the end the 1 player controlls player 3 and 4 even tho 3/4 Controllers a pluged in. I guess i have to configurate such feature elsewhere? I saw some videos on youtube where 4 players where playing mega bomberman so i guess it can be done. But how?

        @Eisbergsalat I haven't done this for the megadrive but I think it'll be in the controls section GUI of retroarch? As for the SNES you select port 2 and set that as the multitap.

          wow this has been covered extensively here..but I know it is always a pain in the tail...

          Using the genesis gx plus core..(the pico core WILL NOT work) make sure all your controllers are plugged in and are configured first!

          1. Start the game...
          2. once game is loaded go the the retroarch menu by pressing select+X).
          3. in the QUICK MENU go to the controls menu.
          4. for player 2 (Port 2) set it to MD 6 button + 4-Way play (Teamplayer will work here oddly enough) and then back out.
          5. on the controller main menu select "Save game remap file".
          6. quit retroarch.
          7. reload the game..then test it (with friends of course!)

          Problem is there are two type of multi-taps for the Mega Drive/Genesis. One for sports games made by EA sports (called Teamplayer)and another made for "general four player (non sports) games". Normally that means the 4-way play. It is hit and miss on the game..some wanted it in player two..some wanted it in player one. But it works for this game at least just like I typed above.

          Happy gaming! :D
