Reply To: What controllers are you using?

[Mike]

to whoever was asking about the usb PS2 controller adapter that you plug 2 PS2 controllers into, I HIGHLY recommend going that route. PS2 controllers are great, assign the digital pads as your input and press the analog button on the controller to switch to analog stick input.

I think you can plug and unplug the controllers while in use, I’m not sure though, I usually just keep them both plugged in.

here’s how I set them up for retropie in the retroarch.cfg file with save and load state goodness, hold in select and press R1 for save, select and L1 for Load state, and select and start to exit emulator.

input_player1_joypad_index = “0”
input_player1_b_btn = “2”
input_player1_y_btn = “3”
input_player1_select_btn = “8”
input_player1_start_btn = “9”
input_player1_up_axis = “-1”
input_player1_down_axis = “+1”
input_player1_left_axis = “-0”
input_player1_right_axis = “+0”
input_player1_a_btn = “1”
input_player1_x_btn = “0”
input_player1_l_btn = “6”
input_player1_r_btn = “7”
input_player1_l2_btn = “4”
input_player1_r2_btn = “5”

input_player2_joypad_index = “1”
