Reassign PS3 Controller buttons + hide unused Cores

RetroArch Apple devices
#1

Hi all,

I’ve successfully paired my PS3 controller to Retro Arch on my iPad 2 and am enjoying emulating gaming immensely! Kudos to the team!

I am wondering how (I’ve searched these boards and Google to no avail), the buttons on my PS3 controller can be reassigned (mapped?)

Eg, for the Sega Master System cores, I’d like to reassign a button’s action to another button (if that make sense). The snes controller overlay is the default overlay scheme that appears on my screen and in that example, I want the Y button to do what the A button does.

My second question, is there a way to hide/remove unused cores? Eg I only use Master System, N64, SNES and PS 1 emulator cores and would like to be able to hide the rest.

Hope someone can help.

Cheers

I think you can reassign buttons via RGUI (the in-game menu with the green lettering). As for removing cores, if you navigate into the app bundle, you should be able to delete any cores you don’t want. They’re just dylibs.

Thanks for the reply mate!

I think I’ve worked out the button config thing. I played around with Configurations, not in the emulator core but at the Retro Arch menu.

I then went into New Config for Core and created one for the Genesis Plus GX Core. Going into that core, then Input.

Under Input, if I select “A button” and then hit the square button on my PS3 controller, the button reassigns. Loading up a ROM it works!

Now by navigate into the app bundle I assume you meaning using a file management program on the iOS device itself? Like iFile?

Yes, exactly :slight_smile:

Glad you got the other stuff figured out. Thanks for posting the steps.

Hmmm. What directory are they stored in? And is it a text file I need to edit?

/Applications/RetroArch.app/modules You should manually erase the .dylib files. There are no txt or cfg file you have to edit.
