X-arcade not detected RetroPie 4.1

[Arakenzo]

Hi,

I just installed 4.1 and when I boot the RetroPie don't detect my X-arcade (Dual stick). It say No Gamepad Detected. The x-arcade works fine with my computers over USB. Should it be detected automatically?

The x-arcade is the first dual stick version that was released.

Thanks in advance

There is a series of videos that cover this setup for a slightly older version of retropie. I haven't seen them get updated (specific to 4.1 'as some of the menu options are in different locations') but it's a good start to watch these as the the xarcade stick is not plug and play with the pie. You need to do some light configuring to make it be "seen" as two separate joypads.

Thanks. I thought it was only the second stick that wasn't plug n play. I will take a look at the tutorials.

@Arakenzo Yes, I believe player one will work fine "out of the box" that is correct. It's really just player 2 that needs to be mapped. Drop a reply here to update on how your progress goes and if you find a better tutorial than the one I provided. A lot of people are interested in this same setup. Good luck!
