Anyone Using the O2EM Core for Odyssey 2

[angelobodetti]

Hi All,

I have the Magnavox Odyssey 2 loading with the O2EM core in RetroArch. The controllers don't seem to be working properly.

Anyone else have this issue? My controllers work out of the box with pretty much all other RA cores.

I was just messing with it and I had to set a button I had directional but not button working except the controller works as both controllers so you are basically playing with yourself but not in a fun way.

Hahahaha so custom controller settings for this emulator?

[DOS76]

I have to look into how to split the controller input also I have to hit one on the keyboard each time I want to map that to the controller also

Thank you, please let me know if/when you figure it out.

So if the controllers are a mess in the RA core, is there a different emulator that I can use?

It may work in MAME. If you do try it in MAME there seems to be caveat on getting it to work correctly so check out this post it might help. http://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=65595

of course the post is 6 years old so it may not even apply any more

It works with MAME (MESS) but I never tried a controller with it.

The standalone emulator o2em118win also works, and I tested this successfully before with my old PS2 controller. There's an old thread about this somewhere on the forums.
