Pi Model or other hardware: 3B+
Power Supply used: OEM Raspberry Pi supplied
RetroPie Version Used 4.7.1
Built From: RetroPie websiteHello all,
I would like to know if it is possible to re-map the joystick for pacman and games like it to use the player 2 joystick. I am righthanded and the player 2 joystick is more centered and on the right of my cabinet so it would be easier to use for me.
Secondary question and you map both joysticks for a game like Bezerk were you need 2 joysticks.
Thank You

@ken-tipton Your second question: Robotron 2084 and Cloak & Dagger are both great dual-stick arcade games. I believe there are settings for multiple-stick setups in some emulators (depends on the emulator).

@ken-tipton yes you can do that, you just need to create a joystick mapping for pacman or whatever game you want to have custom. The instructions to do this would depend on what emulator you are using. In some cases it could be just hitting tab and setting the controls in that menu.
I normally have 8 way joystick as p1 and a 8/4 way switchable for p2 and I'll map games like pacman/dk etc p2 joystick as player1 so I don't get stuck walking up those ladders ;)
