      Hey all
      Recently got a raspberry pI
      (Pi3 model B if it makes a difference) and set up the latest retropie on it
      It works great but I do have a problem of sorts.

      I want to set up specific controls for certain systems.
      I've got a dualshock 4 controller and for example i want to mimic the psx layout x being x square is square etc

      Dreamcast x being a
      And so on

      How can I achieve this
      I'm not talking about universal control changes just individual per emulator remapping

      I can't seem to find anything online but it love it if I could do it.

      Thanks all

      :)

        For the RetroArch cores, a good place to start is here:

        https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration#custom-retroarch-override-examples

        As for everything else, the individual pages for each system details controller mapping.

        https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Supported-Systems

        You can also use external mapping software if you find any of the default methods lacking. Linux Joystick Mapper is one to consider as well as xboxdrv. Below is a guide to setting up xboxdrv on a per-emulator basis that deals directly with RetroPie:
