Hello, I have a ultimarc ultimate IO and I am having trouble getting player 3 and 4 to work. When I try to configure the joysticks and buttons 3&4 are unresponsive. Player 1 and 2 work. I have it wired right on the 3 and 4 spots on the IO. The IO board is set in X-input mode not keyboard mode. I have wired ground with the daisy chain for the player 1 and 2 buttons and joysticks. Does ground need to be different for player 3 and 4? I am using Batocera and when I try to configure them nothing happens. They could be working and it is a Batocera issue, I reall have no way else to test them. What could be wrong? Thanks again for all the help!!

XInput is like.. last resort with that board. You really don't want to use it. (and it kills LED support while active I believe).
Put it in keyboard mode, then if you really need Xinput for a particular game try https://gitlab.com/SchwingSK/Keyboard2Xinput

I set it back into keyboard mode to be able to use all 4 joysticks.
I have set up the keys in winipac. I have set the keys in keyboardstopad in batocera, but that is as far as I get. None of the sticks or buttons work. I tried to map a controller, but it did not recognize anything. What is going on? P1 controller only shows Default and 360 pad. I also tried following the custom control guide. Thanks for the help.

If I remember correctly, Batocera assumes gamepad controls (and its really picky about which gamepads it'll recognize).
The IPAC Ultimate is more suited for a Windows based build honestly.
