Question: How to Change Gamepad 3 to Gamepad 2

[Anonymous]

I recently installed the latest version of Retropie on a rpi2. During setup I installed a keyboard, Xbox 360 wired controller, and a PS2 controller using a USB adapter. Somehow during setup the Xbox controller became assigned as game pad 3.
Does anyone know how to change this to game pad 2 and have the PS2 controller as game pad 1?

I’ve tried rm /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg and then rebooting with only the two controllers attached. When I set them up again, gamepad 3 is assigned to the controller.

You can change the device index in retroarch.cfg or swap out your USB ports in a diff order

When you say “saw out your USB ports in a different order”, do you mean just plug the devices in different slots? Sorry, I’m very new at this.

Also, do you edit the retroarch.cfg at the prompt after you hit F4 in emulation station?

Thanks for the advice.
