[Request] Gamepad auto detect

[molul]

I have several 8bitdo gamepads, and I'd like an easier way to set controls. Retroarch does this very well: once the app is running, if you press any button in any controller, it becomes player 1. Next is player 2, etc. This would be really convenient for users.

Yes, I've thought about that, the problem is that you never know who is Player 1, and with kids it's a mess on every game

Heheh. Well, I'd just start the game and wait for a controller to press a button. That would be player 1. Then the rest. The thing is that current situation is uncomfortable if you play several platforms. For instance, I use an 8bitdo sfc30 for Mame, SNES and Genesis (I wish they made a Genesis bluetooth gamepad already...), 8bitdo nes30 pro and fc30pro for PlayStation and PSP, and 8bitdo n64 for n64.

I'm getting a couple of 8bitdo sf30 pro on December, and I might use them to play everything but N64, but still, I'll have to switch controller from time to time

[fcatrin]

I'll think again about it. But note that N64 and PSP are not supported by RetroArch, so I would need to modify them to behave like that

Thank you! ^^
