Possible to switch controllers?

Hi all,

Is it possible to switch from controller 1 to 2 on retroarch?

Regards,

Joe

In Metal Gear Solid for PS1 when fighting Psycho Mantis if you switch to controller 2 he cannot read your moves. This is why I am asking, any ideas?

Can you assign Player 2’s inputs to the same buttons as Player 1’s? Would that do the trick?

Some option like this in our new in-game menu system (RGUI) could do the trick here.

How do I do this?

How do I use this option please?

What platform are you using? If it’s PC/Mac/Linux, you can assign the buttons through RetroArch-Phoenix. I believe Android has something similar in the settings > input settings > custom binds section

I am using Android. All the custom binds options are greyed out so I can’t select them?

You have to uncheck the ‘autodetect’ checkbox at the top and it will un-grey the custom binds.

It’s actually not that I am trying to re-assign the button functions. I am just looking to play as controller 2 instead of controller 1. Any ideas how I can do this?

That’s what I was getting at: assign player 2’s buttons to the same as player 1’s. I don’t know if that will do what you need, but that’s what I thought of first.
