Goal: I want to use my wireless XBox 360 controller for the various emulators. I want different buttons mapped for different consoles. For example, I want to remap the buttons for SNES, so it matches the physical layout of the buttons.
My controllers work fine, but I can not remap them specifically for the SNES. (This is the console I have been messing with up until now.)
I have used the set-up program to map out the buttons to be stored at /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg. And, I have followed others advice by inputting custom settings in the /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg. However, nothing changes.
Here are the lines of code that I put in the snes specific retroarch.cfg file.
input_player1_b_btn = "4" input_player1_y_btn = "6" input_player1_select_btn = "12" input_player1_start_btn = "13" input_player1_up_btn = "0" input_player1_down_btn = "1" input_player1_left_btn = "2" input_player1_right_btn = "3" input_player1_a_btn = "5" input_player1_x_btn = "7" input_player1_l_btn = "10" input_player1_r_btn = "11"
What am I missing or overlooking?

05/04/2015 at 11:15 #96916AnonymousInactiveI might not explaing it well but each emulator has its own file for the configuration of buttons and a file of the configuration off all of them.
I believe its located in
/opt/retropie/config
In there you will have a folder for each emulator and within the folder a file called retroarch.cfg . just put in the nessessary inputs in.
I haven’t tried this my self but I would think this is how it would work!
05/05/2015 at 01:33 #96938AnonymousInactiveThanks, alipoodle, but the code I posted are the wanted changes to the SNES configuration and were added to the /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg file. The problem is–it does not work.
I have added more commands and changed the snes9x_next_libretro.cfg file. And, still nothing.
I suppose I should try the configs/all/retroarch.cfg file and see if that actually changes the configuration.
05/05/2015 at 01:47 #96939AnonymousInactiveUPDATE: I can successfully change the button mapping in the default config file (/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg). But, I am not able to have the retroarch.cfg file in the SNES directory replace the default config.
Is there some line of code missing or option I forgot to enable?
05/05/2015 at 02:32 #96940AnonymousInactiveANOTHER UPDATE: I got the remapped controls (the ones in the SNES config file) to work by uncommenting the following line of code in the SNES config file.
include /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
However, it now experiences some lag in the game. I had played the game many times before and never experienced any problem before. Any ideas?
05/05/2015 at 14:15 #96955jaymzwiseParticipantHi,
Same problem here.
Emulator specific config file does not seem to work, even if the line include is present and uncommented.
I modified the runcommand.sh file to launch a config file with good mapping but it’s a temporary hack, why emulator specific config does not work anymore ? -
