      I just builded myself an arcade machine using retorpie. I set the 2 arcade controllers and configured them, and they both work correctly until y click on one of both controllers' select button to add credit to the game (some coindoors I installed to it) that for some reason make the other buttons on the controller get misconfigured by switching their functions to other buttons. I made a little bit of research and I found something about the retroarch config. Does anybody know something about this?

      the controllers are this type:

          @iLouzze Some of those dragonrise / zero delay encoders are known for scrambling their inputs if you have two sets configured but the wireing isnt identical. (retropie reads the set as one or something..)
          Try to see if you have the wires connected from the usb-boards to the buttons exactly the same on both encoders. Worth a shot.

            @Dipkid ok, it worked I opened the controllers and realized that many buttons weren't on the same slots and one of my joysticks was upside down. Thanks for your help.
