I am currently running piplay 0.8.5 beta with the xin-mo dual controller. I have a pi model B with a powered usb hub and keyboard mouse plus two play joysticks with 6 buttons each. 4 other extra buttons. I have tried to read the other forums topics on this but mine problem is a little different. When I first boot up joystick 2 navigates the piplay menu fine and I then can load mame4all for eg and play a game. But joystick 1 is not recognized at all. I can hit tab and change inputs for a while but then joystick 2 stops working (joy 1 is never recognized). When i esc out back to the pi menu joy 2 no longer works. I try shutdown/reboot etc but it wont budge. If I completely power at the mains then I can go back to joy 2 working for a while before the process repeats itself. Not sure where to start. I have checked all wiring connections in case of a short. many Thanks Daz
I had the same problem. My mate told me to reverse the configuration eg plug all player 1 wires into player 2 slots on the xin mo board. It worked for me. There are some images on google to wire the xin-mo board with the player 1 and player 2 fix. Try that first as it worked fine for piplay 0.8 beta 5
