Your issue is with the cmdline.txt. There is something wrong with your addition of "usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040".

Read this for details https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Xin-Mo-Controller.

Possible issues are:
1. you have added this to an additional line (this file needs to all be on one line)
2. You have a different hardware address (vendor id & hardware id) and "usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040" is not the correct entry for your xin-mo (see the link above for details).
3. You have modified the file using a program that isn't compatible with linux text.
4. You don't have a trailing line (empty line) at the end of the cmdline.txt file.

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet loglevel=3 logo.nologo consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040

The cmdline is in one line without any space at the end
also i checked vendor id & hardware id with lsusb and its 16c0:05e1 so that must be right to i guess
it also recognized 2 gamespads when entering retropie i can setup all fine
and it works at that moment but if i do a restart or i enter a game everything reconfigs automaticly
player one cannot leave game anymore when entering game so i need to restart raspberry by hand after startup player 2 works but cannot leave game so i need to configurate player 1 again it keep doing this it looks like it doesnt save my settings when entering game or leaving system  i also tryed to format sd again and installed retropie + emulationstation again but it keep doing it!

I will try some other solutions i found! pff hope those will work!

I am also having this problem.  After setting the quirks parameter, ES recognises the Xin-Mo board as a dual joystick. I was also able to verify that the inputs for each joystick wor properly by using the command line tool "jstest /dev/input/js0" for the first joysticknow  (and /js1 for the second one) and the inputs work.

However, although ES does allow you to configure both sticks as Gamepad 1 and 2, the ES configuration  file doesn't distinguish between the two, resulting in the configurations overwriting each other when accessing a game or restarting ES.
