Can I rename autoconfig files?

[Dandelion]

Greetings,

As I traverse the retropie world, I stumble upon the most interesting things.

In the autoconfig folder (/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig), I see 3 config files:
iCode Retro Joystick Adapter.cfg
usb gamepad .cfg
USB Gamepad .cfg

Note all the extra spaces in the last two. The'USB' one is a USB Atari joystick. The 'usb' one is a USB Nintendo controller.

Any reason why I couldn't rename them what I want?

I noticed they're referenced in \configs\all\emulationstation\es_input.cfg

  <inputConfig type="joystick" deviceName="usb gamepad           " deviceGUID="030000001008000001e5000010010000">
    <input name="up" type="axis" id="1" value="-1"/>
 ...
  </inputConfig>
  <inputConfig type="joystick" deviceName="USB Gamepad " deviceGUID="03000000790000001100000010010000">
    <input name="up" type="axis" id="1" value="-1"/>
 ...
     </inputConfig>
  <inputConfig type="joystick" deviceName="iCode Retro Joystick Adapter" deviceGUID="03000000828200000132000001010000">
		<input name="up" type="axis" id="1" value="-1" />
 ...
  </inputConfig>

As long as I rename them here as well?

@dandelion Don't rename them, this is actually the name reported by the gamepad and it's used by RetroArch/EmulationStation to load/find the correct auto-config file.

@mitu Thanks! I appreciate it!
