How to have Player 2 buttons on my Payer 1 touchscreen gamepad?

Guys, i need A,B,C buttons from Player 2 on the virtual gamepad of Player 1, in order to input an unlock arcade code that requires keeping A,B,C from Player 2 pressed, while inputting the code on Player 1 buttons.

Can it be done on touch gamepad?

Thanks friends!

Yes it can be done if the Touch Gamepad has the appropriate parameters in the Overlay.cfg file, in other words, literally mapping both User 1 and User 2 to the same mapping.

BUT you can do it without the Touch Gamepad by simply going to:

Main Menu -> Settings -> Input -> Maximum Users 2 -> RetroPad Binds -> Port 2 Controls -> Device Index -> #1

This will tell RetroArch: “Hey, there’s two players right now, but they are using one controller”

If you’re in mobile though… which I assume you are since “touch gamepad” unfortunately this “trick” is broken… the only simultaneously controllable inputs with one controller in Mobile RetroArch are Directional Inputs (D-PAD)… not sure if that’s by design, or an Android limit.
