First thanks to all who posted the how to guides on controller configs. I have the 2-USB retrolink controllers and have used retroarch to configure player 1. When I edit USBGAMEPAD.CFG for the second controller everything breaks.

This is my current working single controller file

input_device = “USB Gamepad ”
input_driver = “udev”
input_b_btn = “2”
input_y_btn = “3”
input_select_btn = “8”
input_start_btn = “9”
input_up_axis = “-1”
input_down_axis = “+1”
input_left_axis = “-0”
input_right_axis = “+0”
input_a_btn = “1”
input_x_btn = “0”
input_l_btn = “4”
input_r_btn = “5”
input_enable_hotkey_btn = 8
input_exit_emulator_btn = 9

##input_joypad_index = “0”
##input_joypad_index = “1”
##input_player2_device = “USB Gamepad ”
##input_player2_driver = “udev”
##input_player2_b_btn = “2”
##input_player2_y_btn = “3”
##input_player2_select_btn = “8”
##input_player2_start_btn = “9”
##input_player2_up_axis = “-1”
##input_player2_down_axis = “+1”
##input_player2_left_axis = “-0”
##input_player2_right_axis = “+0”
##input_player2_a_btn = “1”
##input_player2_x_btn = “0”
##input_player2_l_btn = “4”
##input_player2_r_btn = “5”
##input_player2_enable_hotkey_btn = 8
##input_player2_exit_emulator_btn = 9

Am I supposed to register both controllers? Somehow?

When I use 2 controllers (that are the same), it seems to happily detect both with just the first set of lines. i.e.
```
input_device = “USB Gamepad ”
input_driver = “udev”
input_b_btn = “2”
input_y_btn = “3”
input_select_btn = “8”
input_start_btn = “9”
input_up_axis = “-1″
input_down_axis = “+1″
input_left_axis = “-0″
input_right_axis = “+0″
input_a_btn = “1”
input_x_btn = “0”
input_l_btn = “4”
input_r_btn = “5”
```
When you start a rom it should have some yellow text at the bottom of the screen confirming detection of the controllers.

If you wanted to specify both controllers, I’d disable the autoconfig and just manually add the lines to the retroarch.cfg

This may help a bit:

I don’t think the player two line is needed. I am using a USB SNES controller and a PS3 controller and I didn’t need to put any player two lines in. Altho RetroPie thinks my PS3 controller is a Xbox controller due to some kinda driver mishap? But leave the .cfg files as default and should be fine.
