      Hi not sure if it's possible but can you choose specific controllers for specific games.
      For example on playstation emulator if I wanted to play tomb raider or resident evil and use an 8bitdo sn 30 pro + then for beat emups like street fighter etc use the 8bitdo arcade stick?

        @stew_smith You have to set the game override. Hot Key + X and under Quick Menu --> Controls change the controller in the Port 1 / 2 /3 etc Bind to what ever. Then EXC back and go to Overrides then choose Save Game Override. I did this with Tron to use a flight stick rather than the X-Arcade stick and others to use the spinner instead of the trackball.

            @churchill7 said in Controller priority for specific games:

            Quick Menu --> Controls

            I could be wrong, but I thought the assignment order of physical controllers was located in Main Menu -> Settings -> Input -> Port x Binds.

                I haven't played with any of the Dreamcast emulators so I'm not sure. If it was a lr- based emulator, the above should work, but if you are using a standalone emulator it would be different.

                The fastest way to get that answer might be to open a new topic with the name of the specific emulator also in the title.
