Troubles with multiple Xbox 360 wireless controllers

I installed Lakka (nightly 21205) on an old Dell e1505 laptop (64-bit 2-core Intel T7400 cpu, 2GB ram, ATI X1400 gpu). I use an external VGA->HDMI adapter to connect the system to a television. (I mention the particular adapter in another thread, in case anyone finds this thread while looking for such a device in the future.)

I am using an official Microsoft Xbox 360 dongle receiver (http://amzn.com/B00FAS1WDG), and I can sync both of my genuine MS Xbox 360 controllers.

However, I am able to use only one of them at a time, even though both appear to be synced.

Furthermore, the UI for configuring inputs doesn’t make it clear which controller I’m configuring. Under Settings > Input > Input User X Binds > User X Device IndexIt looks like “Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver” appears multiple times (presumably once for each controller synced to the receiver, or perhaps once for each of the users specified in “Settings > Input > Max Users”)

As an aside, it would be nice if those identical “Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver” choices included something like “#1, #2


Selecting a different “Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver” allows one or the other synced controller to work, but not both.

Or maybe I’m not determining this correctly. I am concluding that only one control works because only one controller can effect the menu UI.

Is there a “Test Controller Connectivity/Functionality” somewhere in the UI? I think I’ve looked everywhere, but I could be wrong.

Any advice?

They should both work, you just need to switch the player 2 device index to one of them and leave the other one for player 1.

Radius is working on getting device numbering for identical vid/pids, which should help in this case, but I’m not sure how far along he has gotten with it.

Actually it should be there already, not sure if lakka is always up to date with retroarch though

oh nice. good shit, radius :slight_smile:

That’s going to help a lot of people.

Currently, Lakka is lagging behind RetroArch a few days. Since some features get easily broken, I like to remain on a tested version for some days. But I rarely stay a month without updating it.
