    Hiya,
    I’m in the middle of putting my Retropie in my Dreamcast arcade stick. All is going well now. Joystick is wired up and working. Roms are working. Snes\Megadrive\Mame and so on are all working.

    But the issue I am having is with FBA. I want to force certain emulators to use certain controllers. I have 3. (Nes30, FC30 and GPIO wired arcade stick)
    This wouldn’t be a problem but depending on how I turn the pads on, they all come in at different js (not sure what to call them) numbers. This works fine for nearly all emulators because all pads are setup to operate them. Mame is fine as well as I have configured the joystick to work in it.

    FBA however doesn’t have any options like that, so ideally I’d need to add the line in
    input_player1_joypad_index = 1 (unless it changed int he newer versions) to the number the joystick is. Seeing as the joystick changes number depending on whats turn on, this currently isn’t possible for me!

    TL:DR So basically, how do I force the Joystick to always be js0
    Thanks!

    Still got this issue but kinda working around it. If you want to play FBA. I just make sure to not turn any of the pads on and then it works exactly how I want. Means only 1 player in FBA though.

    I tried doing what was in here

    Issue is, I don’t get the output he is getting. I tried using any unique identifier I could find from my output but sadly that didn’t work.

    Maybe you will have more luck with it?

    Unfortunately those udev renaming rules are no longer supported and won’t work.

    I just opened a similar thread before I saw this one: https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/change-order-of-controllers-in-jessie/
