      Hello again everyone,
      As above I am having some strange problems with the Xin Mo and my retropie set up using LR Final Burn Alpha.

      I edited the cmdline.txt as per the above guide and emulation station detects 2 gamepads. I set them up as I need and then load a game.

      It is here I have problems, Basically my buttons just dont seem to work right.
      My p1 select (coin button) gives credits in multiples of 2, My P2 credit button seems to take a credit off and then do nothing. My p1 start seems ok, my p2 start seems to give me credits and allsorts of other wierd and wonderfull things!

      I have tried to set up controls in the retroarch menu but this does not appear to make any difference.

      Any help/advice appreciated. Thanks.

        Ok update I have worked out this is partly my own stupidity and partly the Xin Mo's fault.
        Basicly everything is inverted in some way shape or form.

        The 2 sticks are inverted (P1 is actually P2 and visa versa) And also my p1 stick is inverted directionaly (Up is Down etc

        Why the hell this is the way it is I do not know as I have wired them to the correct sides of the board of the Xin Mo etc so thats a bit confusing (Inverted wireing diagram maybe?)

        Either way I have sorted all this out by inverting all the controls in retroarch and swapping out the odd inputs.

        So all sorted :)
