      I get it, you don't have to be so rude about it. :( I was just trying to get FBA cheevos to work. That's what my original plan was all along. I have no doubt the files you made would work to a user needing 1.7.1. But I need 1.7.2 at the least. Thank you though!


      EDIT
      I fixed it. Re-copied over your original diff and script, then all I had to do was change the line that it injects the changes to. Works perfectly now. Thanks again. :)

        this has been raised over at retroarch: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/6707

        keep an eye on that issue - hopefully some kind of option can be developed to control this behaviour

          @hansolo77 You can always install 1.7.2 by editing the retroarch sh file in the retropie-setup folder.

            I tweeted to them about wanting this as well. Hope to see this happen.

              I guess im the only one that didnt have this issue. All controllers are still in the same order based on usb port.

                @edmaul69 Are they always connected or you plug them after starting the system ?

                  @edmaul69 Well, I upgraded to Retropie 4.4 with RetroArch 1.7.1 last weekend, and my two DragonRise zero delay encoders that are connected to a powered usb hub always have the same order in Retroarch.

                  My two wireless Qumox Wii U Pro gamepads for players 3 and 4 are always arranged in the order of connection, but that hasn't changed since Retropie 4.3 if I recall correctly.

                    @mitu i always keep them plugged in. I should pull out my ps3 controller so i can test plugging it in in a lower numbered port after powering on.

                      @mitu so if i plug in my ps3 controller after boot in port 0 it shows up as controller 7 in emulationstation as well as retroarch so im not so sure its just a retroarch issue. I cant test with bluetooth because the bluetooth on 4.4 never finds my legit ps3 controller.

                        @edmaul69 I found for 4.4 to use a ps3 controller, you have to install the old ps3 controller driver first to connect and then uninstall it.

                          So yeah i think if you plug in stuff after the fact its an issue with retroarch. Keeping everything plugged in seems to work as it should.

                            @lostless so i installed the driver. If i keep it installed it shows up but asks for a 4 digit pin. If i unistall the ps3 driver, it still finds it but gives me an error when i try to connect it. I get an “org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemtFailed: Page Timeout”

                              @edmaul69 you have to sync from the driver itself.
