I'm hoping someone can help. Yesterday I loaded the full NES library, a couple SNES, N64 and one Sega ROM. I loaded with 2.14b and retroarch. I have two classic controllers with extension cords. Everything worked except for games that needed the additional controls.

Today, I picked up two Wii Classic controllers.

Before testing the controllers I loaded a few more SNES AND N64 games. When I tried the unit after loading more games I am having trouble with the extension cords.

Controller #1 & #2 no ext cords - ok

Controller #1 w/ext cord & and #2 without ext cord - ok

Controller #1 & #2 both with ext cord - no function for one player (problem follows cord if I swap them)

Controller #1 with both ext cords plugged in series and #2 no ext cord - ok

Any idea why I cannot use an extension cord on both controllers at the same time? If I use two extension cords together in series with one controller it does work, which leads me to believe the cord is not bad.

I did uninstall to revert to stock and then reinstalled everything, and the problem remains.

You should send your debug test result to Cluster. Read his post here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/hakchi2-nes-mini-very-simple-pimp-tool.456256/page-431

Do you know anything about the soldering in the mini Nes, to use this type of cable next to a usb key?

I use extensions on mine. One with 6ft and other with 3 3ft extensions on it. All works. Are your controllers third party or original?

I think it must be firmware 1.05 Beta0 on the Retro Receiver to map the extra buttons, If you have a later firmware it won't work.....
Will try & report later.. That would be a stupid mistake, if that is the key!!
 
Version 2.15

Not so many changes, just a bunch of critical fixes:
  • Using internal games packing instead of external "tar" util, it will fix "Can't pack games" error.
  • RAM memory usage optimizations, hakchi2 should work fine on x86 systems now.
  • Possible memory leak fix during folder navigation (testing required).
  • Free flash memory space automatic check and basic memory usage statistics when not enough flash memory available.
  • clovercon driver creates /dev/clovercon1 and /dev/clovercon2 now, you can read current buttons state from it, it's useful for some scripts.
  • Translations to German, Greek, Spain, Italian and Polish languages. Write if you want to help with translation.
Also check for new RetroArch mod: https://github.com/ClusterM/retroarch-clover/releases/tag/0.7
 
The level 1-2 of Batman: Return of the Joker (NES) is not running very well on retroarch (v2.14b). This happens only to me?

I still see snes2005 in core mods for new retro arch not snes2010. Thought it was changed?
 
i uninstalled 2009. put the 2010 h.mod file in my user mod folder
installed 2010, launched snes game. opened RA, says 2010 at bottom
