      @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.

                        Just tested the latest merge with retroarch 1.7.3 with the mods, old usb port functionality is now working. Thanks

                                        I was able to successfully update too, but only gripe is that it messed with my Game remap files for FBA. It changed my Strong Kick and Punch buttons. Nothing to serious but still a little annoying.

                                          @redbatman The new version has a new format for the remap files - so any remapping will need to be redone. Nothing that we can do about that I'm afraid.
