Retrorepair,

thanks again. Do I need a Simpsons arcade core? Is a MAME core not suitable?

Indeed. MiSTer is not a RaspberryPi.

Maybe ... I connected 4 Controller now ... but I only can define one. So it is only possible to define one input joypad?

thanks

Depends on the controller. Some may not be usable with 2 or more at a time as they might interrupt each other.

You can use any USB hub to connect multiple controllers.

What controllers are they?

Yeah I'd assume you can only use one of those at a time on any device. Have you tried them on a PC or something other than MiSTer?

You can define a single controller on the main menu, but you should be able to define multiple controllers on an actual core.

Fire up the Genesis core with NBA JAM Tournament Edition and give the 4 controllers a go. Or fire up the Final Fight Anniversary Edition core and give 3 player a go.

There is no Simpsons core.
