RasberryPi RetroPi joystick set up process
## Here is a set up guide if you have brought these controls - http://www.ultracabs.co.uk/usb-interface--standard-joystick-set-109-p.asp and having trouble setting them up
## Step 1
Reset your Memory card in your Pi and start from the beginning. Download the IMG from here - https://retropie.org.uk/download/
## Step 2
Use a program to burn the IMG to the SD card then put this in your Pi
## Step 3
Boot up the Pi with only the keyboard plugged in, and configure RetroPie to work with the keyboard only.
## Step 4
F4 into the cmdline, then type "Sudo Nano /boot/cmdline.txt" from @moffett_s advice add the "usbhid" that is right for your controller
For 18-pin Xin Mo controller.....(add a space and then "usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040" at the end)
For 20-pin Xin Mo controller..... (add a space and then "usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x75e1:0x040" at the end)
Then save over the file and reboot your Pi
## Step 5
Then RetroPie boots back up, you will see that it now has 3 controllers detected. All you do now is configer your first and second player and your ready to play!!!
Thanks again everyone for there help, was banging my head on this one but after starting with a fresh install I got there in the end
