Raspberry PI + Twin USB joystick - only 1 gamepad works

Caldur · September 25, 2022 at 5:11 PM

Hi all. I am using Libreelec on Raspberry PI 2. I connected a wireless gamepad dongle (2.4GHz) that should support 2 gamepads (both gamepads work ok on Windows). These are some cheap generic Chinese gamepads. But I cannot use both gamepads at the same time (like play Mario Kart with 2 players). Only 1 gamepad works. Second gamepad behaves weird - arrows control player 1 and other buttons doesn't work at all. And in /dev/input I can see only 1 gamepad. Has someone encountered similar problem and has a solution? Btw I found this thread with similar problem - Conflicting joysticks? - RetroPie Forum that seems to have a solution but script "update-initramfs" seems to be missing in Libreelec.
