    Raspberry pi 3b
    retropie version: 4.5.1 (Installed using the image file from Retropie website)
    controllers: 8bitdo SF30, 8bitdo SF30 Pro
    Emulator: Any and all

    Hi, is there a "best practice" or "best way" to set up multitap(is that it?) to be able to play up to 4 players on nes, snes, megadrive(genesis), psx and arcade.
    Without having to start every game and use the Retroarch menu?

    Could I add a line of code somewhere and it will apply to all games? And if there is, is there a problem with doing so?

      @lesk no, each system page in the wiki will have specific instructions to set up multitaps for a given system. eg https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1#multitap-3-5-players

        Sorry for late reply, but thanks! As I understand it, for the playstation you have to do some manual changes for each games that dosen't support analog etc.
        But for Snes, Nes, Sega and Arcade I can just go in via the retroarch menu while playing a game and add multitap support and core save.
