Player 2 not working - Using arcade controls

[colourgraphics]

Hi, ive recently setup my arcade cabinet with happ buttons & joystick connected to the controlblock but im struggling to get the second joystick and button set working on any of the games. Can anyone please point me in the right direction??

Fixed it by editing the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and adding in the player 2 mapping. I added the below at line 455. You will notice that as default there is no reference to input_player2 controls. Once this was added player 2 controls worked straight away. You can set system specific mapping in /opt/retropie/configs/SYSTEMNAME/retroarch.cfg

input_player1_a = "alt"
input_player1_b = "ctrl"
input_player1_y = "space"
input_player1_x = "x"
input_player1_start = "num1"
input_player1_select = "num5"
input_player1_l = null
input_player1_r = null
input_player1_left = "left"
input_player1_right = "right"
input_player1_up = "up"
input_player1_down = "down"

input_player2_a = "s"
input_player2_b = "a"
input_player2_y = "q"
input_player2_x = "k"
input_player2_start = "num2"
input_player2_select = "num6"
input_player2_l = null
input_player2_r = null
input_player2_left = "d"
input_player2_right = "g"
input_player2_up = "r"
input_player2_down = "f"

input_player2_a = "s"

input_player2_y = "q"
input_player2_x = "k"
input_player2_start = "num2"

input_player2_down = "f"

I've tried doing exactly this, and cannot get Player 2 to work in Arcade for the life of me. It works great in NES, SNES, etc... but doesn't work at all in Arcade. Any tips/advice?
