RetroPie 4.1, with mkjoystick works only one GPIO controller

gas

Hi all
this is my configuration:

Pi Model: 3 model B
RetroPie Version Used: 4.1
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
USB Devices connected: wireless keyboard
Controller used: "arcade" Joystick and buttons

When I configure mkarcadejoystick I see:

Everything looks working but.. there are 2 controller connected and only one is recognized :/
What I have to do for configure second controller ?
Thanks to all

Sorry for my poor english O:)

Check the documentation here - https://github.com/recalbox/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi

and edit /etc/modprobe.d/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi.conf and change the map parameter to map=1,2

@BuZz Thanks so much, I didn't saw this part of configuration. Now it works ! :)

Hello,

I follow all steps bellow. But still I can´t configure the player 2 controller. Only player 1 is working.
What am I missing?

If you have two joysticks connected on your RPi B+ version you will have to run the following command :

sudo modprobe mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=1,2

Auto load at startup
Open /etc/modules :

sudo nano /etc/modules
and add the line you use to load the driver :

mk_arcade_joystick_rpi
Then create the file /etc/modprobe.d/mk_arcade_joystick.conf :

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/mk_arcade_joystick.conf
and add the module configuration :

options mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=1,2

BuZz

@DELAMAREE Did you install the driver from the retropie-setup menu or manually ?

When posting for help please provide details of set-up as mentioned when registering / at the top of the forum. Also please start a new topic for issues, as your issue may be due to another cause (and this topic was resolved).

Please post the output of (using code block to format it - http://commonmark.org/help/)

cat /etc/modules
grep "mk_arcade_joystick_rpi" /etc/modprobe.d/*

@BuZz Sorry. I´m very new on raspberry and it was my first contact in a forum for this subject.

Actually I managed to make the second player work. But every time I start the retropie I have to write the code below again

Sudo modprobe mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map = 1,2

I followed the whole step by step but it still did not work. Is there any argument left?

Sudo nano / etc / modules
Mk_arcade_joystick_rpi
Sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/mk_arcade_joystick.conf
Options mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map = 1,2

BuZz

@DELAMAREE please provide me the output I asked for in the previous most

I am having the same problem getting this to work in RetroPie 4.1 with two players. It works fine with one player.
I installed driver v0.1.4. manually back in RetroPie 3.8 and got it to work with two players no problem. But now for some reason I can't seem to get it to work with two players.

I installed this driver automatically from RetroPie Setup drivers install. So it was not a manual install this time around.

I then ran sudo nano /etc/modules to verify that mk_arcade_joystick_rpi was added. It was.

Then I ran sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/mk_arcade_joystick.conf and added the line options mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=1,2 Making it the only line in the file. Saved the file and exited.

Performed a reboot and BAM! Joystick 0 is detected and works, but Joystick 1 is not.

Is there some other thing I need to do to make this work? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I reposted to a new thread since this one is marked as solved, but does not solve my problem.
