I have started to build my first Arcade machine based on retropie over the last few days. I was experiencing some issues with the Xin-mo controller but thanks to the efforts of people like “feederchain” in this thread I have everything up an running.

My setup consists of the following;
– Raspberry Pi B
– Xin-mo dual arcade controller
– 2 x joysticks and 16 buttons (Street Fighter II setup)
– Retropie 3.2.1
– Mame4All

My config was working fine using a keyboard and Logitech F310 gamepad but when I added the Xin-mo and my custom joystick I couldn’t see it – this was resolved by installing custom_kernel_1.20150818-1.tar.gz referenced earlier in this thread.

Next issue was not being able to use the 2nd joystick and button setup, this was resolved by modifying /boot/cmdline.txt by adding the following content after a space at the end of the first line “usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040”

I was then able to see two distinct controllers in jstest, configure 2 gamepads in emulationstation, and setup buttons for SFII in Mame.

that is all my technical issues resolved, arcade cabinet is mostly assembled so I am doing some undercoating tomorrow.

Again many thanks to the forum members and particularly contributors to this thread, without your efforts I would still be wondering why I couldn’t see my joystick.
