Well, my second Xin-Mo usb driver board just came in. I couldn't configure my setup for two players on one xin-mo module. I added the USBquirk line to the cmdline.txt, i configured. Each time I would configure in the GUI in retropie once I configured 1st player and then set up second player, first player would lose its configuration. So then when I would reconfigure player 1, second player would lose its configuration.
I bought a second xin-mo board in hopes that things would be corrected with two "1 player controllers" instead of 1 board with two controllers. I erased the "usbquirk" code line from the cmdline txt as now each board would control just 1 set of controls. After setting it up and wiring the second board and connecting the buttons and stick, the same issue is occurring. I have no clue what to do guys. I don't know if I am just that stupid and I am missing something? Are the boards not getting enough power from the pi? I'm just pulling my hair out. Others have worked with this board, how did they fix the issue? I mean, does anyone with this board have a copy of their config file they can send me? I'm desperate.
I'll add that I unplugged the second xin mo board and instead plugged in a ps4 controller. Both 1 player on the joy pad and second player on the ps4 controller worked. But in Superintendo i noticed games slowing down, something i haven't seen before... is this because the PS4 controller draws too much power? Maybe power to the ports is the issue all along? again, not sure this helps but just at wits end here

On there website they have a single player controller and a dual players controller. (http://www.xin-mo.com/dual-players-controller.html) I would think it may be easer to use the dual player option. Or you could email the manufacture E-mail:cnjerryu@gmail.com

Or you could just Use the GPIO (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/GPIO-Modules), Kade (http://northamerica.emukade.com), or I-Pac (https://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html)

Maybe try using a computer?

I found my issues, and it was pretty dumb on my part.
I figured you could plug the button connectors into any pin slot on the module and then reconfigure in emulation station, no big deal right? Wrong. Configuring doesn't work 100# so pin selection is important. I went back through and reconnected the buttons to the correct pin slots and now player 1 and p2 are working fine. Thank you for the suggestions tho!
