No luck. No matter what port I connect them to, the controllers keep the same order.

I tried this before I start using udev rules but I’ll give it another go.

Issue is, I don’t get the output he is getting. I tried using any unique identifier I could find from my output but sadly that didn’t work.[/quote]

Unfortunately those udev renaming rules are no longer supported and won’t work.

I just opened a similar thread before I saw this one: https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/change-order-of-controllers-in-jessie/

[quote=104802]Then i don’t need to install the custom kernwell. I need only to write the line in cmdline.txt to let retropie recognize the xin-mo as 2 controller, right?

Correct (for Retropie 3.0 only though).

The ‘axis autofire’ and the ‘2-player controller’ issues are separate so as long as you’re not getting autofire, don’t worry about the kernel patch. Adding the string in my previous post to /boot/cmdline.txt should make the Xin-mo be recognised as 2 controllers.

I’ve finally had some time to test the Xin-mo dual controller with a fresh installation of RetroPie 3.0 and the autofire on the axis issue no longer exists, so applying the previous patch is not needed anymore. Great news!

With regards to it not being recognised as 2 controllers, I’ve tested the addition to /boot/cmdline.txt method that @feederchain describes above and it also works with the Xin-mo dual controller. The code to add to the end of the line (after a white space) is:

usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040

Reboot required after saving the file.

Having reached this solution, I’m not going to bother trying to patch the kernel as this fix is simple enough for those of us with the Xin-mo.

Thanks very much to @feeder for all the help and effort!

@feederchain: No worries, I’ll test it out on mine and if it works, I’ll post the patch here for the other people to test it on the 2-player configuration.

If it fixes both the autofire and 2-player issues, I plan to submit the kernel patch upstream so it works out-of-the-box in the future. If you find the vendor id for your adapter and it works, send it my way and I’ll include it in the patch.

[monchote]

@feederchain I’ve been doing some more investigation and I think this patch could be the real fix for both the autofire and the 2-player input.

The author never submitted the kernel patch upstream and thus it’s still not fixed.

I won’t have time to compile and test the patch until the weekend so if you happen to do it before then, please let us know!

[monchote]

Thanks a lot for double checking and uploading the patch.

Out of curiosity, couldn’t this be submitted as a pull-request to the RetroPie Github repo so it’s fixed for future releases?

[monchote]

Does anybody know whether this is fixed in 3.0?
