@polygonman244 if you have mapped a keyboard in emulationstation it will never ask again for you to configure a controller.

@Mondo-Gecko I've never tried using Bluetooth controllers, but I'll give it a shot and check what happens. I don't have access to my Raspberry Pi until at least the end of next week though.

@edmaul69 alright tnx guys i attempted this and it work :) tnx for the help guys i guess i didn't clean it well the first time

@Mr_Fix_It Thanks sooo much for this man I've been pulling my hair out for days with these bloody controllers. :)

@TMNTturtlguy in Configuration Editor, choose Configure basic libretro emulator options, Configuration default options or from a specific emulator, then Choose joy pad order.

@backstander @OreoLover Or you can use @meleu 's excellent tool that already do this without ever needing to go in to the Retroarch controller configuration. You can find it here

@julijan Email me at holco zero zero four @umn.edu (change to numbers and get rid of spaces) and I'll give you details - thanks!

Thanks for all the help. I decided to just add OEM NES ports as it turned out to be one of the cheapest options sans changing out the cords on an OEM NES controller.
