Mapping Controllers (2 of 3): Mapping Controllers to a File Mapping Controllers (1 of 3): For EmulationStation Next time you load EmulationStation it will auto detect the controller! Now all you have to do is repeat these steps for how ever many different controllers you have. The wiring is now different for DB9 controllers. All DB9 controllers (Genesis 3/6, SMS, Atari style 1 or 2 button and compatible) are auto-detected. Added support for Genesis 3 and 6 button controllers. Input_audio_mute_axis = +1 #Down on D pad Hold start when connecting the USB cable to use this feature. Input_state_slot_decrease_axis = -0 #Left on D pad Input_state_slot_increase_axis = +0 #Right on D pad Input_state_slot_decrease_btn = 4 #L button Input_state_slot_increase_btn = 5 #R button I went to the bottom of the file and added: input_enable_hotkey_btn = 8 #Select ~ $ cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/configs $ sudo nano USBGamepad.cfg I just used the hot key settings that I did in my old retroarch.cfg file. This is also the file that you will enter the hot keys youвЂ™d want for this controller. opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/configs/USBGamepad.cfg When the program finishes it will tell you what it saved as.ДЇor example I did this with my SNES controller and it saved the configuration file as: USBGamepad.cfgДЄfter I exited out of the setup script I found the file by running the find command I found the file to be located in: ~/RetroPie-Setup $ ~ $ sudo find / -name USBGamepad.cfg If you get to a button that your controller doesnвЂ™t have, donвЂ™t press anything and the program will skip over it. It will be the same after this as mapping the controllers since it uses retroarch-joyconfig. The adapter will work with the NES, SNES, Super Famicom and AV Famicom and supports 'more. Then вЂ Option 315: Resister RetroArch ControllerвЂ The Wingman SNES makes it possible for retro gamers to use modern controllers on their classic systems. Once loaded, select вЂ Option 3: SETUP (only if you already have run one of the installations above)вЂ Use the following commands to load the retropie-setup script: /opt/retropie/configs/all $ cd ~/RetroPie-Setup $ sudo. To start make sure only one controller is plugged in at one time. If you donвЂ™t have a backup file then you can find a copy of it on the petrockblockвЂ™s git hub here

To change revert back to the original file use the cpВ command: ~ $ cd /opt/retropie/configs/all $ cp retroarch.cfg If you made any other changes to the retroarch.cfg file then make sure to write them down to change again. If you followed my post about setting up controllers in Retroarch ( here) then you already have a back up of the original retroarch.cfg file.

In the past I had to write separate retroarch.cfg config files and call them using a program that I wrote.ДЇor this to work there can be no controller information in any of the retroarch.cfg files either in the main one or the system specific file including the hot keys. This will also allow you to use two different controllers for different players. A real improvement to RetroPie EmulationStation 2.x is the ability to easily set up and use multiple different types of controllers in the emulators on the fly.
