I must admit that I have never used that package. And after scouring the github page there doesn't seem to be much of help there, but I did notice that there were comments mentioning the problem you are having with no responses.

What sticks out to me is the trying to install to /root/Retropie instead of /home/pi/Retropie. Did that happen in your 4.3 build?

I don't see what difference it should make but have you tried installing via the command line instead of SSH? Updating via managing experimental packages after installing?

@fallen86 I'm in the middle of a rebuild or I would send you my config to help. I learned my lessons about backup the hard way. It's been a while and I did use joystick selection tool, but I rarely played 2 player games the way you are. My biggest concern was mapping a specific USB controller to each game.
I have a feeling the problem is with the driver for you, because the tansktick functions as a keyboard and the driver is working around that to emulate a USB gamepad. Good news is if that doesn't help solve the problem, it's easy to roll back to the driver.

ok I have put the .sh in the retropie menu folder. Seems to work...
Sorry for the totally noob question. :)

thanks

@meleu No, I think it's still needed :). In this case, the modification in RetroArch (gamepad order is the same as connection order) helps, but it's not helping people with gamepads that are always connected or the ones that have cabinets and wish to plug in a controller and have it as P1.

@mitu said in Multiple USB Ports + Controller order for Emulators:

@retropied You can try looking at @meleu's handy joystick selection script - https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection - and adapt it to automatically re-order the controllers based on the emulator started.

@mitu I installed the joystick selection script but I'm having a problem.
I have a system with two integrated controller (Dragonrise zero delay encoder) and I want to use a bluetooth gamepad for some games only. My target is to have bluetooth controller as number 1 controller when connected.
So I installed Joystick Selection Sricpt and setted Bluetooth controller as the first one and then the two dragon rise. The problem is that when the bluetooth controller is not connected the two dragonrise continue to act as player 2 and 3 and not as 1 and 2. Do you think it is possible to fix this whitout changing configuration everytime?

Hi, not sure if I am doing something stupid but I am using the Xin Mo Dual Arcade controls, have typed in the usbhid.quirks code and everything is recognised but naturally the player 1 and 2 controllers are switched so I am trying to use your code to switch them back. When i type your code in i get this...

Can you help at all?

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

@hansolo77 said in Help Remapping non-LibRetro games/systems:

It sounds like xboxdrv is your favorite.

It is, but I do recognize that it's not a simple thing to jump into. After a cursory look at the different options when I was starting out, xboxdrv seemed to be the most versatile solution. The others seem to lack a valuable feature to me here or there, but they also seem a bit easier to setup and that can of course be a valuable trade-off to many people. I've even noticed a few features from other mappers that don't exist in xboxdrv.

Is it possible to use it just for 1 or 2 systems, or is it a complete replacement to the default xpad driver?

It can indeed be used with one or two systems. When used in conjunction with the xpad driver, the following line would need to be added.

--detach-kernel-driver

As I have never tried this myself, I'll leave the explaination to the xboxdrv manpage entry:

"Detaches the kernel driver that is currently associated with the given device. This is useful when you have the xpad module loaded and want to use xboxdrv without unloading it."

Can you give me some pointers/tips?

Again, I'll be honest. All this is not exactly easy. You may even find out that it's still not the right approach for your particular setup. However, if you find that it does work for you, it becomes pretty easy to configure these mappings over time.

When I started looking into this, there wasn't even an available guide, so I had to pour through the manpage and seek out help on other forums that made similar use of the software. As far as following the guide here on the wiki is concerned. I would recommend reading closely, asking questions and eat it one bite at a time. Any problems that will prevent it from working on your setup will present themselves in the first few steps, so you won't really waste any time.

Cool, no problem. At least this gives people some alternatives. :) Happy to share anything that's useful.
