I have Lakka installed on a raspberry pi 3 and I have mapped player 1 and when I go to map player 2 I notice that they are under the same port number. When I play a two player game in Mame, player 1 controls both players at the same time. Player 2 also controls both players. How can I fix this?

You should be able to go to settings > input > p2 input binds and change the ādevice indexā over to your other pad. This usually only happens with 2 identical pads (and not always even then).
When I go to player 2 input and then device index, It says xin mo port 0, port 1 n/a all the way up to port 5 and then disable. It says the same thing as player 1. Is there anything else I can try?
No, not AFAIK. You have another non-xin mo controller plugged in at the same time?
This is the setup I have. It should support two sticks and a bunch of buttons. This is the only controller I have plugged into the pi. When I was setting up lakka I had a Logitech controller hooked up to help setup until I mapped the xin mo controller.
Ah, ok, if itās 2 players on a single board, youāll probably have to do some mucking around in your retroarch.cfg to manually map things, and youāll likely need to disable autoconfig (not sure about that, though).
As you may have guessed, Iām not the most computer literate person. Is there any documentation or tutorial on how I do that?
Not really, but I suspect the steps would be: turn off autoconfig and return all of the binds to default, then go to p1 input binds and bind any of the buttons you want to use (i.e., leaving off the analogs, etc). Then, go into your retroarch.cfg and see what those buttons are recognized as (e.g., input_p1_b_btn = ā13ā or whatever). Write those values down somewhere, return everything to default and then do the same thing for your player 2 buttons. Once you have all of the values, you can assign them however you like via the config file.
How do I access the config file?
youāll have to either SSH into it or pull your SD card and put it into another machine. You should be able to find it in ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg via SSH. On your SD card, it will be the partition with the āromsā folder, in .config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg.
Iāll try to get to that tomorrow. After messing around and getting my button numbers, I noticed that all of my buttons are labeled correctly, but my joystick is synced with player 1.
When playing a 2 player game I can move player 1 and 2 at the same time, but player 2 doesnāt attack or jump when player 1 does.
I also noticed that in the player 1 input binds the number from the encoder board is there but there is also keyboard keys too(ex. rshift, enter). These keyboard keys do not show up in player 2 inputs. Do I need to enter in the keyboard keys to player 2 as well?
I have a similar problem (only not running on Pi). In my quest of finding an awnser I found the following: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Xin-Mo-Controller.
Adding āusbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040ā works for me running in Live mode from a PC to fix the xin-mo controller. When using a Pi you should be able to add this permanently to the boot file.
You can also use this to find how to access the bootloader files on Rasberry Pi.
Hope it works for you.

Thanks for the info. As I told hunterk I am fairly computer illiterate. I plugged my SD card into another machine and found the the cmdline.txt file and entered the line of text from the github site, but nothing changed. My player 2 stick still tracks as player 1. Do I need to do something to get this command to run? Or is my product/vendor ID wrong? That article said I could us the command ālsusbā to find my product/vendor ID but I donāt know where to enter that into to get those numbers. I really do appreciate all of the help I have gotten and would really like to find a solution to this problem. So, please, if there is anymore help or suggestion please keep them coming.
I believe youāre on the right track! The product/vendor ID should be right. I solved my problem using that one the othe day too.
I found this video of someone showing what to do using the same principle. Could you try that?
I tried to go into the config file, but I donāt know what the settings for player 2 joystick should be. Should they be the same as player 1? Iāll poke around again if I get some time.
Unfortunately adding the command into the cmdline file did not work for me.
Was finally able to figure out how to get this done. Here is the output you asked for.

Here is the new issue that is on top of the old issue. With using this line usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040 my controls are now reversed, meaning that player 2 is the only controls that work and I canāt enter into a game with my other stick.
Iām going to recheck that I have the controls plugged into the correct pins. Iām running out of options, am I better off going with Retropie or will I have the same problems there too? I would really prefer to use Lakka but ultimately I want to this cab to work.
Thank you. You have the same controller so if you boot with, it should work.

Did you try to reset first ? Settings Tab > Input > Input User 1 Binds > User 1 Bind Default All and same for player 2. Then, rebind it ?
So I enter live? That I have not done before. Iāll try your suggestion and get back to you.
