Hi clownfish360,

re-add the following start/select buttons for Player 2 (see below) but make sure you have set them with the correct value by running jtest.

Here is an example of how mine is set up (sorry i can’t paste the entire contents, I’m not with my Arcade Cabinet). I have a P1 and P2 buttons on my cabinet, and in the middle i have a black ‘coin’ button. P1 and P2 are buttons “6” and “7” respectively, and “9” is used as select for both

input_player1_start_btn = “6”
input_player2_select_btn = “9”

input_player2_start_btn = “7”
input_player2_select_btn = “9”

I also have my player 2 index set to “1” , as per below

input_player1_joypad_index =”0″
input_player2_joypad_index =”1″

Lastly, and this could just be due to copy /pasting into the browser, but the button values that you have shows appear to be surrounded by different types of quote marks. for example “7” versus ”0″. Mine appear like this “6”

here they are in comparison so you can see the difference

“““““““““““““““““ (see your Player 1 Up axis)
″″″″″″″″″″″″″″″″″ (see your Player 1 Up axis)
“”””””””””””””””” (mine are like this all throughout the .cfg file

Again, its something i just noticed, and it may not be a problem when the cfg file is being read.

Good Luck

Hey dpicc68,

seems like you’re experiencing the same as us in this thread: https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/joystick-sending-multiple-actions-with-a-single-click-2-4-2/

seems like this has also been raised on another raspberrypi forum.

http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=99081&p=692139

Apparently a solution has been found and its now recognised at 2 controllers instead of the one, which is actually a bit strange because since the issue started, i was able to control Emulation Station with the Player 2 Joystick as well. I just hope all of this gets fixed soon.

Hi m312,

mine is doing the same thing, and I’m pretty sure its because what i did below earlier tonight:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

how do yo downgrade to an older version??

Just wanted to let everyone know that dpicc68’s method works perfectly.

I too had to rewire the up/down but that only took 5 seconds and another 5 seconds to remap them again in ES and Mame.

thanks

Thanks mate, i can access it now.

And just so i understand your instructions, do i simply replace the fba2x and fbacapex files on my RPi with the ones in github and it should all work??

Cheers

Hi dpicc68, thanks for the guide on sorting PiFBA. Im trying to follow your guide but the link for “Go to :- https://github.com/Conno123009/PiFBA-Xin-Mo” returns a 404 on the github site. Can you please fix the link??

Cheers,
