Arcade Controls HELP

[Farinop23]

I was doing the control mapping and both joysticks are responding however both joysticks are coming up as saying "Left stick up". Why would they both say left and not "Left Stick up, Right Stick up"

Are you talking about mapping in LB/BB or inside an emulator?

If in LB/BB that is because LB/BB do not see Joy1 vs Joy2. It only sees you have multiple but maps all commands the same to each control. This because mapping directly in LB/BB is only for moving around in the frontend.

Yes i was talking about in LB/BB. Thanks thats a big help! So then i just have to seperatley do a control mapping for mame and retroarch. With retroarch im assuming you have to reconfigure with each core correct?

Correct, all in game controls are mapped in the emulator. With RA you do not necessarily have to map each core. RA has a global mapping you can set which will be used by any core loaded and you can uniquely map a core if you prefer a different mapping for it.
