      I recently got my rasberry pi 4 set up in an arcade cabinet and got my control deck hooked up. When I configure the second player it causes the first players joystick to invert for everything after a game is loaded. When I reconfigure the first player again it does the same thing for the opposite stick once any game is launched.

      I'm not sure if this is a problem with my retropie or the button kit I bought for it but I would appreciate any help with this issue.

        @tamperedmedia looks like you didn’t wire both controllers identically. Retropie only uses 1 config file for vender/model no matter how many controllers . Meaning when you configure 1 controller the other is also configured if they are the same brand/model.

          @tamperedmedia i think I fixed it . Double checked all of my wires and ,while identical, select and start weren't connected in the right spots on the encoder. Once wired correctly I set both bindings in retroarch without bothering to set player 2 on the retro pie home screen. It still inverts up and down for player 2 on the main menu but it seems to work properly in game so it'll work as it is.

          Hopefully it won't break again, appreciate the help.
