Hi everyone
I am using Retroarch 1.3.6 with Emulationstation on my Windows 7 PC. I have a hard time to setup my controllers. I read through a couple of threads that I found using google. Besides that most of them are talking about Retropie, none of them worked for me thus far.
I have 2 SNES USB controllers and 1 USB arcade stick. I need to be able to remap the buttons for the arcade stick per game, square layout (street fighter) vs inline layout (NeoGeo games). Once I setup the “User 1 Input Binds” the arcade stick has the correct layout for street fighter games. I then tried to use %BASENAME% and --appendconfig inside the ES config file to load a new config file that I created through Retroarch by clicking on “save new config”. This unfortunately doesn’t work for unknown reasons. When the NeoGeo game starts it tells me it failed to save the config file and it rearranges my buttons on the arcade stick automatically to some really weird setup. That not only changes the SNES controller setup too but also messes up my Hotkey setup.
Is there anyone out there that can explain to me the whole config file thing. There are autoconfig files and then there are controller specific config files and then there are the custom config files that include date and time in the name once saved. And why does Retroarch automatically remaps my arcade stick even though all auto config features are set to “OFF” in Retroarch.
Thanks
