RetroPie-joystick-selection VS antimicrox

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

For gamepad control it looks like there is a program to do just that here .

A Controller to Mouse Software (I used reWasd, a free alternative is AntiMicroX)

- AntiMicroX: Map keyboard buttons & mouse controls to a gamepad (with Wayland support)

I have an unused 24mm button on my stick, and I’d like to be able to assign to it two (or more) inputs so it can be used with AntiMicroX for some other function (i.e. 'Select+R3' would press F12, which is bound to 'Reset' in Retroarch). I originally planned for this button to be used for Turbo, but I changed my mind once I realized how many possibilities there are with AntiMicroX. Like the button could run shell scripts or some win32 executable, which is pretty neat.

Like the other person said, Flash has no native support for that. Even games with controller support in mind (Like Super Mario Crossover) tell you to install programs for using controllers, so yeah, you would have to use an external program to accomplish this. I personally would advocate using AntiMicro which is available for free, just install and assign controller buttons to emulate key presses.
