Hi all!
First of all I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone here who contributes to this great project, including the many YouTube tutorial videos.
I recently installed the latest 3.0 BETA 4 build on my Pi 2 and am pretty much set control wise across two iBuffalo SNES controllers and two generic arcade sticks. The one issue or bugbear if you will is the default remapping that RetroArch applies to certain consoles/emulators.
For instance when using my stick or SNES controller on the Megadrive/Genesis I find that it tends to map the Megadrive’s ABC buttons to YBA on the SNES pad or stick. I’d like to try remap this configuration so that I can map the Megadrive ABC to BAR on the SNES pad (and likewise XYZ to YXL).
Usually someone would simply suggest to edit RetroArch.cfg and be done with it. This however doesn’t work well for me as I use both pads and sticks and switch up quite a bit. After some searching I found that this problem has somewhat been addressed by RetroArch in the form of the tool Common Input Remapping Options, whereby you can set what the emulator inputs equate to on a RetroPad/SNES pad.
For instance you can select MegaDrive C button to be RetroPad R button. Great! One problem I’ve encountered is that whilst I can find the option in the RetroArch menu, it does not open or do anything when selected. There’s very scarce information on this config option online, but I did find a blog post showing the feature at http://blog.andressm.org/new-retroarch-features-2/ (scroll down to the bottom of the post to see a screenshot). I’ll attach a copy of the screenshot to this post for conveniece too.
So my question is twofold I guess:
A) Is there any way to get this feature of RetroArch working so that I can map my Megadrive controls how I like them across all my pads?
B) If not are there any workarounds or manual ways to implement this, whereby I can plug and play between two different controllers and not have to change the RetroArch.cfg file each time.
Sorry for such a long post and many thanks in advance for any help!
