Reply To: How does a controller get auto-assigned a config profile?

“I’m sure there is a setting somewhere related to autoenable that remembers your gamepad.cfg”,

That part right there is what I am curious about.

Unfortunately, I don’t have physical access to the Pi (just SSH since I’m at work). I set the system up yesterday and just copy/pasted some generic button mappings into all/retroarch.cfg, but now that I know more about how it works, I’d rather NOT do it this way and allow each unique controller to use its own cfg file. I’ve since commented out the button mappings I added but I am not physically in front of the system to run through the retroarch-joypad CLI. I would assume the device ID from lsusb would be listed in this config file, OR elsewhere in the system, referencing the cfg file. I’m too lazy to grep the whole file system looking for a specific string.
