darealdoomer Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I am rebuilding my HS setup and wanted to use MESS 0.156 with it. This might be a pretty stupid question, but I have not been able to figure out how to setup my player 2 controls for use with my X-Arcade. I can setup everything and launch mess from within RL, and then tab into the config screen. From there I can choose Input (this system) and I only see player 1 assignments. If I go into INPUT (General), I can set up the controls for player one and player two, but inside the game (i.e. Combat) player 2 input does not respond. It works fine with Stella. Am I missing something?

Did you solve this? I've just ran into the same issue using v158 of mess. Does anyone who uses mess know if this is a known bug?

When running mess press Tab and go to slots. Then choose joy for player 2. It will use your configured keys and save an atari 2600.cfg file which remembers this setting. By default player 2 slot is empty God only knows why ! Hope this helps.
