Is it possible to play nhl or secret of mana 2 with 3 controllers under retroarch?
2 controllers works fine, and i tried to add a third with no luck. Any ideas?
You’ll need to set the user 2 device type (in settings > input > Input User 2 Binds) to multitap, then bind your pads.
I’m using Lakka. And only the retroarch.cfg file, all the menus and choices makes me dizzy.
I did add 3 devices in retroarch.cfg 0, 1 and 2. Same with the mapping for all the buttons.
So how do i “set” my device type for my third controller in retroarch.cfg ?
I think you need to do it through the menus because it requires the core to be initialized before you can choose specialized input devices such as multitaps and light guns.
So. If anyone finds this useful here it is.
RPi-2 Clocked @ 950Mhz in config.txt - boot partition, forced hdmi with some more amps. 3 Controllers (Gamecube USB Retrolinc) I only cared about Snes games and Snes9 next emulator. I used Lakka-RPi2.arm-devel-20151125101555-r21205-g3c89451.img Tried it succesfully on Nhl 94. No lags no tears just perfect. I have some kind of Panasonic 48" Led tv… I run Snes9x-Next in fullscreen 16:9 I run my hdmi signal true my reciver. I suck at retroarch.cfg so I did this by trail and error.
The trick was to set controller 2 to input_libretro_device_p2 = “257” And use core_specific_config = “true” (I think) I used retroarch.cfg with nano and no gui things. Anyways…
Here is my config.txt from my boot partition
