P-UAE 2 Player Input

Libretro Cores
#1

I’ve got the P-UAE working through Retroarch on the SNES Classic but there seems to be a major feature missing: 2 controller support. I’m using the puae core provided in this user’s coreset - https://github.com/KMFDManic/NESC-SNESC-Modifications/releases

which is based on P-UAE v2.6.1

The core documentation shows the configuration for 1 controller but does not show how to set up a 2nd controller for input. There is a UAE configuration setting that can change the joyport mode e.g. joyport1=joy1 which according to the description assigns a second controller on the host device to the emulated second joyport but adding it has no effect.

Has anyone got 2 controllers working with P-UAE or knows how to get this configured? Besides this the core is working very well even though it’s a WIP with a lack of active support. Thanks!

I have not tried 2 controllers as I basically only just got puae to work the other day eith the libretro-puae core but not used it yet. I did have some past sucess with a custom android core but never got very far with it or tested 2 controllers.

The original emulator documentation is in the files linked here

They may help you but that are not “libretro” documentation just how the emulator worked originally.

Thanks. The documentation doesn’t really shed light on anything outside of the assigning joyports which I’ve already tried. It should definitely be possible though as you can receive input from and map one controller. Sounds like it would be something straightforward to do but it will probably require someone familiar with the code to update the core.
