            @gordonfreemanjr said in RPi4 USB ports guide:

            an XBox 360 controller wireless dongle
            an Xbox 360 replacement gamepad wireless dongle
            a wireless mouse/keyboards combo wireless dongle
            an external drive containing roms

            You do realize you only need 1 dongle. Any xbox360 dongle can handle up to 4 controllers at a time. That might be causing issues.

              @lostless Nope, only one of these dongle is an original XBox 360 dongle. The other one is a replacement dongle and doesn’t work with the original gamepad.

                @gordonfreemanjr You mean its a 3rd party controller with a 3rd party dongle? If so, i've misunderstood. But i have an official and 3rd party usb dongle for xbox360 controllers and both work with 4 official xbox 360 controllers

                  @lostless Yes, I’m aware. I was counting on it actually: I had an original Xbox 360 gamepad woth a broken dongle. I ordered a replacement combo and hoped that the replacement dongle would work for both. It doesn’t though: it connects over radio.

                    @Chupachups It worked for a brief moment, and now it stopped working.

                    Again, both gamepads set as the Player 2 after reboot. The configuration is set for the black to count as the Player 1; no luck for now.

                    Any other ideas?

                      @gordonfreemanjr Ignore what the controller is showing on its LED face. Do the controllers actually function, in game, as player one and two? That all that should matter.

                        I agree. My bluetooth Wii U Pro clone gamepads also only light the first player LED even if they are working fine for different players in Retropie.
