      Hello,

      I am wondering if it is possible to get the 8-player mode working for N-Warp Daisakusen on SNES.

      Pi Model or other hardware: Pi 3B
      Power Supply used: CanaKit 2.5A
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.7.1
      Built From: Pre-made SD Image on RetroPie website
      USB Devices connected: Wireless keyboard/mouse combo, various controllers
      Controller used: Hori Pokken Tournament Pro Pad, wired 8BitDo SN30 Pro, Logitech F310
      Emulator: lr-snes9x and lr-bsnes

      The typical "set it and forget it" way to set up SNES multitap games on a Pi 3B is to use lr-snes9x (the one with no year attached) and drop a game.rom.cfg file containing "input_libretro_device_p2 = "257"" into the folder containing game.rom. With other controller types left as their defaults, this will put a controller in port 1 and four controllers into the multitap in port 2 so that you can have up to 5 players in supported games. This setup works on lr-snes9x. As far as I know, all commercially released SNES games followed this setup.

      N-Warp Daisakusen is a homebrew SNES game that allows up to 8 players via two multitaps. The game's creator recommends using bsnes, but I find the libretro version on a Pi 3B to be too demanding on the hardware and also lacking the ability to assign a second multitap.

      lr-snes9x, on the other hand, DOES allow the first port to have a multitap connected via the config line "input_libretro_device_p1 = "257""

      Unfortunately, with both p1 and p2 assigned as multitaps, the emulator still limits the game to 5 controllers (even when more than 5 users are active in RetroArch).

      The multitap doesn't function correctly for me in the versions of lr-snes9x with years attached, and the ROM doesn't even load in lr-armsnes.

      Does anyone know of a way to "unlock" the ability to have up to 8 players? This would also affect the hack out there to allow 8 players to play Lord of the Rings Volume 1.

      I am also known as "StormedBubbles"
