Retroarch - Dual Xbox 360 Controllers Issue.....

[Tristeele]

Hi everyone / anyone reading,

 

I am pulling my hair out on this one. I have two wireless xbox 360 controllers and for the life of me I can't get them both working with RetroArch. Is anyone else having this issue? I have used multiple versions with varying levels of success but never gotten both working. Last night I was able to get a single controller to work inside a few cores but never the second. That was the latest stable release. Today I tried a nightly build and Retroarch sees them, but does not allow me to change any controls.

 

I can EVEN use the damn menu within retroarch with a controller, but not set controls?!?! Xinput has been selected in drivers. Both controller recognized. Anyway - anyone else have this issue?

No one else has experienced this issue?

Try this:

Or this:

I had the same issue a while back and I opted for separate emulators. Let me know if either one works so I can switch back to retroarch.

 

Thanks

Thanks for responding. Yes, I had already read those posts. No real luck. I did however try something that DID work. I tried using 1 wireless x360 controller and then 1 wired.....

 

Well, it worked with no issues. Both controllers all of the sudden had no issues. So I went into the config of the Core (in this case SNES) and noticed that the wired player two controller was device 5. So I removed it, turned on my second wireless controller and all of the sudden it worked!?

 

Now all my cores (about 5 so far) are working with both wireless controllers. I don't know why, but I'm happy they seem to be working. As I do more cores I will let you know.

 

Thanks again for replying.
