[quote=117175]i think this sort of thing would only be solved by retroarch/libretro itself. you should ask on the forums but it looks like people have already asked and it’s a no: http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5041

you could also log it as a request on their github: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues

i think you could actually use a physical switch if you were so inclined. you’d need something that switches from one USB device to another, entirely breaking the circuit. i think things like this already exist for printers. might just work??

You’d still need to stop the drivers and start the correct ones. I think my proposed solution via the gpio is probably the best option. Although, you’d probably be able to do all of that without rebooting, it would just require more code.
