Hi all, quick question. I was interested in purchasing two of the Minis, can both be used at the same time for 2 player co-op? Is this something that has to be setup/synced every-time the Core is powered on?
Also, bonus question, has anyone tried CoinOpsX on the mini? I would be interested in trying that out, what other emulators are known to work well on this (mame, consoles, etc)?
Thanks for the help!

You can use two mini control panels together, if desired. You just have to get them paired up to the desired core. The core, which is always on, will keep things paired up until you break the "handshake" between the devices (by connecting it to another device).
As for CoinOpsX, it works just fine. The firmware at this time doesn't require the usage of Flash Drive X at this time. It will eventually require it once the Mini gets into the universal firmware ecosystem (whenever firmware v5.16 gets released).
Awesome reply, thanks for the detailed info!
I just setup coinops on the mini and I find the right-hand side of the screen is cut off on the game selection window (I can't see the alphabet on the side) also the playlists don't seem to work. I am assuming this is a bug with it being an older version on coinops. Hopefully the mini gets up to the current firmware soon! But the games themselves seem to work great the mini using coinops, just a bit more of a hassle finding the one you want!
I have that problem too on the larger 2 controller Legends Gamer model. I keep wondering if there is a button that needs to be pressed (that’s not mapped on this device) to get into the coinops menu to adjust the screen size, etc.
I have looked all over and from what I can tell there are no settings for the coinops menu. There was supposed to be the 5.16 patch yesterday that I was hoping would fix it. But it didn’t seem to come.
Edit the update dropped and it didn’t not fix the screen size issue but it did fix the playlist issue!
I have the Legends Core and have to pair my Bluetooth controller (PS5) every time I turn it on. I unplug the power cable and hdmi cord when not in use since the core does not have an on/off button.
Interesting, I didn't know it lacked a power button. Thanks for pointing that out!
