NewYears1978 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Sorry if this is the wrong place for this topic, it's a HyperSpin question but it is also related to all things run in HyperSpin (Retroarch, RocketLauncher, Mameuifx etc) I am having a heck of a time with controllers and controls. I set them up int he appropriate spots and they work great, but often windows will then reassign a controller which then breaks everything. Example is say I have an Xbox Controller and a PS2 controller hooked up. I set them up and Xbox is controller port 0, PS2 is port 1. Everything works fine but if I unplug them or reboot (or a myriad of other things that will cause them to change) sometimes they switch ports. Even though I didn't switch the USB port I was using sometimes windows will assign them opposite as it was before. So then my player 1 controller which was said to "Joy 1 button 7" for instance is now actually "Joy 2 button 7" so it no longer works. Is there some trick to this? Do I need them to stay plugged in do dedicated USB ports or is there some way to lock them or...what? I feel like it has to be possible..we can't be redoing the controls every time we play.. Thought about getting a dedicated USB hub plugged into the back of the computer (rather than use the front ports, which are iffy on my computer anyways) and then just leave them plugged in all the time..but even then I think it messes up sometimes. Thoughts, ideas, links to guides? I googled but not finding what I need. Thanks in advance. Are you an HTPC user?

NewYears1978 Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 Okay, found it. Issue now is, my PS3 and Xbox controller both run on Xbox 360 contorller drivers..so it shows it with a number 2..so still no way to select between the two. I guess I need to uninstally DS3Tool so that PS3 controller no longer works and only use 360 pad. Except I hate the 360 DP-ad lol. haha but I guess the price to pay need to get used to it (360 pad is more comfy overall though) Are you an HTPC user?

Spawk Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 You need to define custom names for your joysticks so you can tell them apart. This can be done in RL at "Global -- General Settings -- Third Party" in the keymapper section. Then go back and order them in preferred joysticks.
