Two Dual X-Arcade Joysticks recognized as same

[Scott Nath]

Hi all,

I’ve got two dual x-arcade joysticks and a RetroPie 2.3 setup. That means four players!
Except…RetroPie is seeing the second X-Arcade as the same item as the first. I’ve gone in a reprogrammed X-Arcade #2 with new keys. I can use that dual joystick to type on my mac and each button and joystick direction is typing the right keyletters. But, when I try to use it with RetroPie the system registers both as the same with the default settings.

Any way I can tell retropie that they are two different controllers?
Any idea why the re-programming I’ve done doesn’t work in the RetroPie? Any way to fix that?

Any help greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Scott

btw…my settings in retroarch.cfg:

# Keyboard input, Joypad and Joyaxis will all obey the "nul" bind, which disables the bind completely, 
# rather than relying on a default.
input_player1_a = z
input_player1_b = shift
input_player1_y = ctrl
input_player1_x = alt
input_player1_start = num5
input_player1_select = c
input_player1_l = space
input_player1_r = x
input_player1_left = keypad4
input_player1_right = keypad6
input_player1_up = keypad8
input_player1_down = keypad2
input_player2_a = e
input_player2_b = w
input_player2_y = a
input_player2_x = s
input_player2_start = num6

input_player2_r = leftbracket
