4 way and 8 way stick at same time
-
I have controls for two players. Each set of controls has 2 sticks, one set for 4 way and one set for 8 way.
When I launch, say, pac man, My 8 way is the controller that is active. I can't figure out how to cause a game to use a different controller. When I open retroarch inside the game, all the assignments look right, but the 4 way does nothing.
In the emulation station UI, all 4 sticks work fine.
-
@damoos in general, since I don’t know what your controllers are, In retro arch you need to find out what buttons/axis is the 4 Way and add the proper directions to that.
-
@lostless that is done. All directions assigned in the "in game" control menu.
The 4 way works in the emulation station UI, but is not active in games.
-
@lostless Both sticks are Happ style plugged into separate zero delay encoders.
My likely solution will be to put the 4 way on the same encoder as the 8 way, but I'm still curious how to have both active simultaneously.
-
@damoos You can override the controller order on a per-game basis, you'll need a separate
.cfgfile for the game where you can change the order of the controllers:input_player1_joypad_index=1 input_player2_joypad_index=0The above will switch the controller order, so 2nd controller gets to be Player1 and vice-versa. See here how that works.
