Thanks for the awesome walkthrough!

However, I've been struggling now for several days gettings my controllers to work properly.

I have two controllers: a Logitech Rumblepad 2 and a modified original Nes USB controller (bought from retrousb.com)

The rumblepad seems to work properly in the RetroPie menu, but for some reason the pad itself only works for Mega Drive emulator.

And to be honest, I have no idea how to add the second controller.

Any chance of modifying the retroarch.cfg for me?

I would like the rumblepad to be primary for the menu + mega drive + snes. (Obviously due to the lack of buttons, i cannot use the nes controller as a Player2)

But the NES controller primary for NES emulator. (Here I should have the Rumblepad as Player2).

If it cannot be done, I'll satisfy myself with using the Rumplepad everywhere.

I would gladely upload any needed files in order to get this done...

If I run the input wizard inside RetroPie, I can set all the controllers I Like, but those seems to get erased after reboot...

Just one last thing i was going to buy the nes controllers that you recommended and i went to buy them and the price for postage and packaging was horrendous so they cost almost £25 because i live in england and most of the other nes controllers are even more expensive or don't look very good and i found some snes controllers on ebay i was wondering if they would work as well?

Do you have to have 2 controllers or is that just for multiplayer?
