Disable second controlblock controller

[vertpingouin]

Is it possible to disable the second controlblock controller ?
I only use one and I want second player to always be usb stick plugged in raspberry.

Also is it possible to customize “mame”, “snes”, “arcade” etc… presets from /etc/controlblockconfig ?

Just find a quick workaround for retroarch. I added those lines to my config file :
input_player1_joypad_index = “0”
input_player2_joypad_index = “2”
input_player3_joypad_index = “3”
input_player4_joypad_index = “4”
input_player5_joypad_index = “1”

So controlblock 2 is always player 5, letting the space for usb gamepads.

I respond to myself :
First subject is a duplicate of topic https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/disabling-controlblocks-second-controller/ though my workaround works well.

For customizing modes, I had to change the source, recompile and reinstall it

in Controlblog git folder :
sudo make uninstallservice
sudo make uninstall

I changend this file according to my needs
https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService/blob/master/src/controlblock/ArcadeGamepad.cpp
(the //gamepad button section)

then make
sudo make install
sudo make installservice
sudo reboot
