Assign Gamepad to Player

In /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg add the following lines:

input_player1_joypad_index = 0
input_player2_joypad_index = 1
input_player3_joypad_index = 2
input_player4_joypad_index = 3

Note: the index corresponds to the /dev/input/js# where # = 0-3
If you want to assign /dev/input/js0 to player 4 then the config would look like this:

input_player4_joypad_index = 0


Exit Emulator from Gamepad

In /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg add the following lines:

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "7"

On a Logitech F310 this would require the user to press the BACK + START keys to exit the emulator. You can assign the same button to both settings and it will cause a single button to exit the emulator. On the Logitech F310 the logo is actually a button (button 8), you could set it like this:

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "8"

Note: "input_enable_hotkey_btn" is a modifier key, and can cause issued in games. For example if you assign the modifier key to the "Select" key (button 6 in the example above) then select acts funny in games. So assign the modifier key to a key that you rarely use in game.


Hide Emulators in EmulationStation

You can hide or re-order emulators/systems in EmulationStation by editing /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
For example, if you only want Nintendo based emulators you could remove or comment out the other systems.
