Paradise Arcade Xin Mo 1 Player Arcade Controller Review (also 2 player)
BobA:
Installed Tubografix, NES, SNES, Playstaion, Genesis, Gameboy Advance and Future Pinball.
No problems so far except finding a Genesis emulator that worked with Maximus with no problems.
Response of the 2 player Xin Mo is acceptable in all my testing.
BobA:
I should note that using Maximus Arcade with the 2 player controller is a bit of a problem. Maximus does not allow you to select what controller to use for its setup of the front end. Therefore all front end inputs have to be from controller 1. Controller 2 will use the same setup that you use for controller 1 so there is no use to set it up. You have to think about what keys to use and since Player 1 (10 inputs) has less inputs than Player 2 (12 inputs) I find it hard to get enough keys for the front end.

I know this is an older thread but wanted to answer the question above about using multiple copies of Xin Mo on an arcade.
I asked Paradise in an email if two Xin Mo 2 Player units could be run on the same machine allowing for 4 player set up. They responded that this would work. Have not tried this myself yet but plan to. This is helpful for those on a budget as you can start with the $25 2 player version and then simply add a second one to upgrade to a 4 player setup as opposed to diving in and buying a 4 player iPAC off the bat.

I just got around to trying this out. The wiring diagram is completely inverted on mine. Ground are on pins 3 and 4. Joystick is on 15,17,19,21. B1-B8 are on 22,20,18,16,14,12,10,8 Respectively B9-B12 are on 13,11,9,7 respectively. Shorting 3 and 5 toggles the joystic between XY, Z and POV hat. Thanks for 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.

I just got one and ran into the same problem. The diagram that came with it was completely wrong. Also, I was surprised that outside of the first post in this thread, I couldn't find a correct diagram anywhere! Anyway, I threw together a new diagram in Visio real quick that hopefully will help help prevent someone in the future from wasting a bunch of time trying to figure out why it's not working:
