After getting RetroArch and EmulationStation all configured and tweaked to my liking, the last thing for me to do was get the player 2 controller working. I am using two of the generic USB SNES controllers. I have the player 1 controller working perfectly so all I did was copy the player 1 mappings in each config file for player 2. This worked great for NES (fceumm_libretro), but not for SNES (snes9x_libretro). The player two controller just doesn’t work at all. After messing with the snes9x_libretro config a bit with no luck, I decided to try snes9x_next_libretro. This works perfectly. So I guess my questions are:
- Why does it work in snes9x_next but not snes9x with the exact same config?
- What is the difference between snes9x and snes9x_next?
I have no problem just running snes9x_next, it seems to work great so far. I guess I’m just more curious than anything. And just for reference here is my controller configs:
