RetroPie-joystick-selection VS L4T-Megascript

In Retropie I downloaded a controller script that allows you to pick which controller is player 1-4 for each system from all the controllers connected. So for example my arcade games use 1-4(joysticks), N64 uses port 5 and 6(N64 controllers) as player 1 and 2, SNES and NES used 7 and 8(SNES controllers) for player 1 and 2. That works flawlessly for all my systems. The issue though is I can select 9 and 10 as my player 1 and 2 for my sega games but the controllers don’t work at all, not even in the Retroarch menu but they do in ES. If I swap the physical order of the sega controllers and SNES controllers, the sega controllers will work and the SNES ones won’t. So it seems like 8 is the cutoff for me right now.

You might be able to do this with meleu's Joystick Selection script, available either standalone or as part of RetroPie-Extra. I would try, set the gamepads to always use players 1 and 2, then let the arcade controls remain default/unset. So when the gamepads are connected they'll take priority, and then when they aren't, I think the arcade controls should still work in place.

Try this optional package. It lets you assign controllers to specific ports: https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection

I've never done a conversion like yours but I think there's a joystick function that tells the controllers to always be in a specified order. Perhaps that would help you? https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection

Check in the rpie setup there should be a joystick script that can set the order etc. Its created by dev Meleu If not get and apply from here https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection

Over in the retro-pi world there was a utility called Joystick Select that would let you define per-emulator controllers. For example, when launching NES if you have your NES controller plugged in, it would default P1 to that, otherwise it would use the default usb-encoder

Have you tried this ? :https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection

also if you enjoy pain you can kinda force 18.04 into working properly - shameless plug: https://github.com/cobalt2727/L4T-Megascript

the Switch has an ARM architecture, so you'll have to run x86(_64) programs with box86 or box64. 32-bit x86 programs using box86 will require an additional compatibility layer since the Switch has no 32-bit graphics drivers, so hardware acceleration is even worse. On top of all this, Windows programs obviously need Wine/Proton... so in total, any game you run will need anywhere from 1 to 3 compatibility layers, each of which will decrease performance. If that's all fine by you, though, you can run the L4T Megascript's experimental (i.e. not in the UI yet) Steam installer using our Helper Script. iirc the Steam script is under the Games and Emulators folder on the repository

If you want to take a shot at learning the mess that is bash scripting PRs are always welcome at https://github.com/cobalt2727/L4T-Megascript

I completely forgot to mention it's experimental and not in the UI yet - so you should run it using our Helper Script as follows:

Also, this is more gaming-focused, but it's a good reference for getting a few more up to date libraries installed. https://github.com/cobalt2727/L4T-Megascript

L4S (Linux 4 Switch) Has a script that comes packaged with the os now called the L4T Megascript, you can run it and download either minecraft java or bedrock from there, fully configured and everything. If its not installed on ur system or you want to learn more about it here's the official github link; https://github.com/cobalt2727/L4T-Megascript

Currently not possible on Retroarch, and likely never will be. If you want something like this, you can use the L4T Megascript to install full-blown Retropie, and get your EmulationStation fix with that.

In order for this to work you need to also first run the l4t megascript, found here: https://github.com/cobalt2727/L4T-Megascript and run the initial setup choosing to install the sdl2 tools when prompted.

I’m trying to use the L4T Ubuntu megascript to install dolphin, but it keeps telling me “Some index files failed to load, They have been ignored, or old ones used instead” and quitting out. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know why this is happening? I’m a noob to linux so dumbed-down explanations preferred. Thanks!
