Why won't the 2nd player connect to the Raspberry Pi?

This situation only occurs on the RetroPie system. There are two solutions.
1 - Add the following to /boot/cmdline.txt -- simply add a space at the end of the existing entry, so that it is on a single line:

usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040

Simply modify this file and reboot, and the second player will be activated.

2 - Replace Retropie with Recalbox. The Recalbox system does not have this problem.
