      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.

                                      I figured out the remapping, but it’s a logical nightmare. No sign on which player you are changing. It’s also based off the auto config numbers on your controller, no longer the system button letters. I don’t see how it’s “better” but thats a complaint to the Libretro guys.

                                          @buzz Darn, well at least I can still copy and save them for games that are alike. Such as CPS2 games and Neo Geo

                                            Sorry to drag up an old topic but I'm wondering if this is an issue again. I'm using retropie 4.6 with retroarch 1.8.5 and it seems to be completely ignoring usb port ordering. I'm using a usb hub (pc engine mini multi tap) and 2 different controllers (pokken controller and pc engine mini controller) and regardless of which ports I put them in the pokken is always set as player 1. I saw you had fixed it back in 1.7.3 but just wondered if that has been reverted again.
