Snes 2 player issues
-
It is rather strange that it works in the megadrive emulator, which would lead me to believe that it's not the keyboard/hub. Do you have another hub you can use? Preferably a powered one. Or try plugging the controllers into the Pi directly and see if anything changes.
Another thing I'd try is copying the config files from the working emulator into the other emulators' folders.

Hi, just wondering if anyone got to the bottom of this? I have gone into retroarch and p2 controller allows me to set it up but as soon as I'm in a SNES game (Super Mario World) i can only use one controller however i can press release shoulder to transfer lives using the p2 pad. Any suggestions? I've only used the 2010 emulator. Everything was updated today so all the latest i can get.

Most games with the two player option don't actually use two player, instead those players take turns on one controller. A game that should work fine is super Mario kart for the snes, try that maybe?

@tr1ggsy read above, forgot tag sorry
And @craig_quinton_37 the megadrive thing is explained above aswell -
I have the same problem using a PS4 controller and original SNES controller with Adapter. Everytime i start a PS1 game i wanna play with the PS4 controller, i have to unplug the SNES-Controller first. They work both in the retropie menus tho.

Hello,
I was facing the same issue and what solved the problem for me was:
From the main menu of EmulationStation, go in Retropie, then: Configuration Editor, then:
-1 configure basic libretro emulator options
-28 configure additional options for snes
-7 choose Joypad order.From there, (I don't know why) my setup was (0 0 2 3) so it meant that my second pad was actually a clone of the first. Just change one of the two "0" for a "1", it means that you simply dedicate another Usb joypad instead.
Hope this helps !

@sheutran this worked for me. I had to do this for both snes and megadrive. Im surprised this isnt already setup properly. 2 player games work no problem in neogeo so why not all the other game systems?

Wth? Someone down voted my post about this solution working??? Smh

This is probably the bit that someone downvoted if I had to guess.
If you use a pre-made image from this site, or if you just install over a supported OS following the documentation, the default controller order is already set up correctly.Many of the problems encountered are usually from buying pre-built setups, receiving them secondhand from another person, or from users that have accidentally changed some settings and saved them globally causing all sorts of chaos. Without knowing the whole story of each exact case, it is hard to say how your config got messed up, but then this community doesn't always get the whole story right up front and still does a fantastic job helping people solve the problems.
