Xin-Mo – Retropie 2.6 Issues

[calumetjohn]

I am helping a friend build an arcade.

He wants to use MAME as well as NES, SNES, Sega, etc

He has a Xin-Mo dual arcade controller setup. I am able to see the controller using jstest js0. For some reason both Joysticks provide the same results -1,+1,-0 and +0. all the buttons work when testing. But for the life of me I cannot get it to work in any of the emulators!

The only thing that works is the keyboard.

I have ran the retroarch config in the setup script, I have manually created one from online documentation i found.

I have modified the /opt/retropie/configs/all, /opt/retropie/emulators/configs, etc and no luck.

Any idea would be greatly appreciated

Autofire on the axis

Quote 90318 and later <- This is what you are searching for. You need a kernel update for the xin-mo controllers, feederchain made a noob-proof install script
which do this job for you.

After this you can configure both joysticks! I had the same problem when i built my arcade (you can find it in the “projects” here in the forum.)

If you have further questions i offer my help:) It was hard to get my arcade running, but i love it now:D

I was able to apply the kernel update and that indeed fixed my auto-fire issue.

I am still not able to use the joystick and buttons in any emulator. I can run jstest js0 and everything works. I can even run retroarch-joyconfig and everything works. it even saves a file like Xin-Mo.cfg.

The only place the joystick and buttons work is in emulation station.

Any ideas?

Do not try to set up a player 1 and player 2 using the index method in some posts here, that is when my controls quit working.

Edit the configuration file below for only 1 player. It seems player 2 gets duplicated to the exact button layout. Make sure your button wiring for both controllers are mirrored copies of each other.

input_device = "THT THT Arcade console 2P USB Player"
input_driver = "udev"

#Player 1&2P

input_b_btn = "1"
input_y_btn = "0"
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 = "3"
input_x_btn = "2"
input_l_btn = "4"
input_r_btn = "5"

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "9"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "8"

Put the edited file in /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs named THTTHTArcadeconsole2PUSBPlayer.cfg, for some reason the Xin MO gets named that.

Hope this helps.
