Any chance of a tutorial or a little guidance as to where all these are supposed to go? I've been trying forever to get multiple controllers configured to one receiver.

Clone it and run setup.sh. Then start or enable the new service with systemctl.

That being said, it doesn't work for me. For example Dolphin sees both controllers when configuring them, and all of the buttons on them are mapped correctly. However whenever a game is started, only controller 1 is active, despite a second one being configured.

UPDATE: Turns out it was just a stupid dolphin config thing, totally my fault. I had to tell the emulated gamecube that there were two controllers plugged in.
