      Pi Model or other hardware: 3 B
      Power Supply used: (If using a Pi): Vilros
      RetroPie Version Used: v4.1
      Built From: RetroPie Website
      USB Devices connected: FC30 PRO
      Controller used: FC30 PRO

      I recently purchased a new controlled to dedicate to my RetroPie system.
      I had been using a Glacier White PS4 controller.

      As soon as I got my FC30 PRO, I set it up and it worked fine in the menu. However, whenever I open ANY emulator, the emulator detects and treats the controller as Player 2. I don't have anything else plugged in, just this controller, but the system always thinks it is the 2nd player.

      What is going on, and how do I fix it?
      Any help and advice would be appreciated.

        @Jiryn do you have joystick selection installed? If so you might have the other controller set as player one. If not you should install it and set the controller you want as player one.

          I literally thought and have been playing it as a "Plug and Play" system.
          Where I'd plug in the controller I want to use, then just play..

          I recently got the new controller, but it reads said controller as always second player, preventing me from starting games once I get in.

          How do I install a joystick selection?
          (Also, how do I clear my scrape data.. I accidentally designated 4 games the same game)

            @Jiryn i believe you go into the retropie menu and go into runcommand. I think it is in there.

              Ah, I've not done any of the command line configuration as of yet.
              So both the scrape and joystick selection will be in there?
