Reply To: How to hot-swap between two different controllers???

[sewersurfer]

For ES it worked out perfectly, big step forward. Thanks!

Is there no similar solution for the emulators themselves? I wasn´t able to figure out anything useful in the retroarch.cfg file.

Edit: I just figured out that the button mapping for the Xbox360 controller VS the SNES-USB controller go hand in hand for the first 6 buttons (0-5) but are different for the Start and Select buttons (6 and 7 on Xbox, 8 and 9 on SNES).

This means that I have no problem swapping controllers and actually playing a game (using the “normal” buttons and d-pad), but I am unable to pause a game and, what´s more, exit out of an emulator as I have deticated the Start+Select combo to get back to ES.
Now, is there ANY WAY to set up the retroarch.cfg file so that it picks up, for instance, EITHER button “6” (=Select on Xbox) OR button “8” (=Select on SNES) as the “input_player1_select_btn”?
I tried it myself but I couldn´t figure out how this can be done…

thank you
