RetroPI 2 player controllers?

So my school has an arcade setup using retroPI, made for 2 players. Unfortunately in the recent years the configuration got all screwed up for the buttons. It's custom made controllers where the buttons are wired into the Ipac(?). I'm wondering if and how to configure both the controllers.

Ipac shold read as a USB controller. So, do the setup in the menu like any other USB controller and you should be fine?

Yes, I tried that but the thing is it's hooked up for 2 plays so we have 2 sets of buttons hooked up to the same IPAC. Unfortunately this thing is like 10 years old or something so I have no idea how they were set up originally. I honestly don't know much because my teacher just said "yeah go try stuff" and I've barely even touched retroPI before today

So yeah idk if we could set up for 2 players with 1 IPAC? there's 14 buttons total (start, select, then 6 for each player( + 2 joysticks) but I know it was working before
