      RPI3 Retropie 4.1, is it possible to assign a specific controller to a specific emulator as default? For example, on the PSX emulator I would like to use a bluetooth PS3 controller by default and on the mame stuff I would like to use the joystick/buttons zero delay stuff as default. I have a nice little cab that I have built with the pie nicely inside, but I have to keep hotswapping controllers to ensure that the right controller is in the right port for the medium I am playing. it isnt the end of the world, but it sure would be great to open up an emulator knowing that it will be able to sort out a hierarchy of expected input devices.

        Make sure you use the " joystick selection by name method".
