      Hi,

      I am familiar with setting P1 , P2 to specific USB ports on the pi, but I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following:

      I have 2 SNES Controllers , 2 Genesis Controllers, and 4 N64 Controllers. I wanted to have them all connected at all times via powered USB hub, and depending on which emulator was chosen, it would default to the joysticks of those emulators.

      Has anyone tried this before? If so, have they had any success? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks,
      Ed

        @retropied You can try looking at @meleu's handy joystick selection script - https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection - and adapt it to automatically re-order the controllers based on the emulator started.

          @mitu I installed the joystick selection script but I'm having a problem.
          I have a system with two integrated controller (Dragonrise zero delay encoder) and I want to use a bluetooth gamepad for some games only. My target is to have bluetooth controller as number 1 controller when connected.
          So I installed Joystick Selection Sricpt and setted Bluetooth controller as the first one and then the two dragon rise. The problem is that when the bluetooth controller is not connected the two dragonrise continue to act as player 2 and 3 and not as 1 and 2. Do you think it is possible to fix this whitout changing configuration everytime?
