      Hi Folks,

      I have a two player cp with a trackball and a spinner.

      Right now, I have the retroarch config file set so that the cores all default to the trackball, whether I use it or not -

      input_player1_mouse_index = "4"

      However, its a pain to go into each games config for the spinner and override it with

      input_player1_mouse_index = "3"

      Is there any way to get both running at the same time? I can do this on my miSTer but retroarch seems a but uncooperative!

      Thanks

      Mark

          I'm no expert, but I think RetroArch can only have one mouse index per player. So I don't think you can assign two of these devices at the same time through the menu. If it were possible to somehow make the operating system see two input devices on the same device index that would be one way. I have no idea how to do it though.

          I think as painful as it may be, the only thing to do is assign whichever device the most games use as the default and then create game specific overrides for those that use the other device type.
