Controller Issues

[Rikochet]

I just recently purchased two tomee USB controllers, one a SNES and the other a NES. When configured individually they both work fine but when plugged in together whichever controller is configured first works correctly but the other will be missing buttons. Like if the SNES controller is configured first the NES controllers physical A button will be B and the physical A button just triggers the A buttons action very fast. It recognizes both controllers as a 2axes 11keys game pad. Is there any way to separate the configurations? Or am I stuck only being able to use the controllers separate?

@Rikochet see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/1798

you can add the product id / vendor id manually (assuming they both have different product ids) to the controller config in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig (so you have two copies of it each with the difference ids).

You will however also need to manually set the controls up. Right now when controls have the same name we don't do this automatically. TBH the manufacturers should bother to give them unique names etc, but the cheap stuff often has missing device/vendor info etc.

example

# Hex vid:pid is found using "dmesg -w" or "tail -f /var/log/syslog" and converted to Decimal using http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/hex-to-decimal-converter
# Hex vid:pid = 2810:0009 -> Decimal vid:pid = 10256:9
input_vendor_id = 10256
input_product_id = 9
