This is a good question and I don’t have the answer either myself. I’m not sure it is not that simple since the keyboard is probably viewed as an input device independent of player 1 or 2.

I think we need to take this wiki entry literally

Xbox one controller is not supported from what I can tell.

Also, if your controllers aren’t responding in the emulation station ui you probably need to remap them (adding trigger-as-button can shift the input numbers).

Delete the configuration file emulation station controller config file
rm /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg

Reboot your pi and go through mapping the controller again.

Did you try adding this?

I didn’t have luck with the script myself. I had success with option 1 and option 2 on the wiki.

If you have 3 xbox 360 controllers this is what you’d need.

Option 2

That wiki page could be updated to be clearer but the general idea on it is correct. You just have to look at the syntax at the default rc.local file for clues as to how to get it working for the most recent version of retropie.

I feel your pain :)

When you install the xbox 360 driver it writes to /etc/rc.local

The initial setup that comes default is option 2 on this page
https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-up-the-XBox360-controller

Specifically it is set to look for only 2 controllers. When you attempt to load controller 3 and 4 they’ll go black because it is only looking for 2 total controllers.

Edit /etc/rc.local and remove that default single line setup. I believe that should fix your issue.

Nevermind. I figured it out. The instructions on that page say to just place that code above the exit line. It doesn’t say delete the xboxdrv line above it that is already there. Once you do that it picks up all 4 wireless controllers.
