Retroarch: controls

I finally figured out how to setup retroarch emulators and roms of what i have tried so far

But i have a question for setup controls

Exampel, i set up NES and super mario world - it have 4 buttons select start jump speed/fire

But if i setup nintendo 64 it have more buttons

Should i have a seperate retroarch for each setup of emulator becouse of different button setup?

Or if i set up NES and N64 are they having a seperate setup controller on same retroarch setup?

No, you don't need that. You just need a different config per core. I'm not home now but can show u an example when I got home.

If i first set up controls for NES then go with N64

It still shows same control setups for both emulators

That i haven't figured it out if you can have 2 different control setups with 2 different emulators on same arch setup

OK i think i got it

Under Main Memu - Save New Config

This works under Retro Arch

But how do this on Hypespin or other frontend to load correct setup of controls for right emulator?

Are you using rocketlauncher? It handles that for you.

Yes im using rocketlauncher, i have followed these guides below.

But the controls are my less issue, after following these guides i can ran NES emulator and games through rocketlauncher

But when adding nes on hyperhq then run hyperspin it dosen't happend anything

The roms are renamed and all green on rocketlauncher

Dunno if i missed something in anything in ini files settings

If you are using rocket launch, and have config per core enabled, there should be a config file created for each system.  It typically is named for each system (i.e. Nintendo Entertainment System.cfg).  Within each config you can change the controls.  So you need to configure RL to look in the right config directory where your config files are located.  Have a config setup for each system, that contains the correct controller mappings (as well as overlays/shaders if you use those).  

 

If you check out / post RL log it shows where it is looking, as well as the commend it uses to open RetroArch and it should guide you a bit.  I am not in front of my PC so I can't give you the exact settings, but if you look at the RetroArch module settings in RL they are all there.

When i have a fresh installation of arch i have 17 sub folders

 When i have setup core for NES and Nestopia i read a turtorial it is cores folder and there i have nestopia_libretro.dll

But go from there im unsure

But it is these dll files in the cores folder that seperates all the systems controls with arch?

Yes that is how RA works by itself. The module for RL adds some other features. You probably should search the RL forums they have material there, there is a thread all about RA.

OK i think i figured out how to do remaps

When launched a game, ex NES at first start the windows is small

There i see menu with command > Menu toogle

When in Menu toogle i more commands > go to controls

But there it seems i only can change for joypad not keyboard?
