4snes 4nes interface does not work for retropie

[ehpower2]

For those who do not know what i am talking about here is the page about what i am talking about.

My issue is after image 2.3 where it worked exactly as it says on the page i have since upgraded to 2.4 images and now 2.5 and the problem is the same.

When i upgraded to image 2.4 retro-pie refuses to see the rest of the axises and no matter what i only have 2 axies and no matter what port i plug into which 2 of the data lines are for snes ports and the other two are for nes ports it only will see axis 0 and 1 never 2 through 8.

Also it does not plot the axises accurtely as for instance you can press left hat and all you get as response is 0+ axis.

I believe this is a bug to how it handles usb but any suggestions and help would be welcome

Im having the same problem. in 2.5 / 2.6 there are only two axis recognized.
i think this could have something to do with the joystick-package. I allready uninstalled and reinstalled/updated it manually. no luck there.

could there maybe any possibility to install the old version of the joystick package?

I tried to go back to a old kernel and it really does not fix this issue. Is it me or is it seem like the further forward retropie goes version wise the less controllers work. I notice there are much more controller related issues now then there was

I just read an article how to downgrade a package.

i’ll try as soon as i get home.

Ive stumbled upon a new post in the forum: https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/autofire-on-the-axis/

Some users replied it also fixed their problem with the second controller.
i’ll test it out this weekend :)

It also fixed my problem on 4 player bomberman for pce. So for me it worked perfect.
