Hi, I am using LaunchBox/Big Box with RetroArch and could use some help understanding exactly how the controller configurations/ports work. My goal is to be able to use a specific controller based on the core. The majority of these controllers are blue-tooth and so won't always be connected to my PC. What I am envisioning is, use a keyboard to navigate BigBox, pick the system/core I want to play a game for, and then use that specific controller to play the game on a designated system. For example: In BigBox, use a keyboard to navigate to my NES games. Connect my bluetooth N30 Modkit controller and play NES game. Exit out of NES game, turn off N30 Modkit controller, navigate to a Sega Genesis game on keyboard, connect bluetooth Retrobit Genesis controller and play Genesis games....and so on. I will list my controllers/cores below. The issue I'm seeing is that (using the above example), when I connect my NES controller, that takes over 'Port 1', and the keys are assigned to that port (as opposed to the controller). When I disconnect that and connect my Genesis controller, that replaces the NES controller in Port 1, but the old configuration on the Genesis controller is replaced by the mapping that was just used for the NES controller, and I need to reconfigure the buttons within RetroArch before I can play the Genesis game on the Genesis controller. My question is, is there a way to use either the autoconfig, hard-coded configurations, or core remaps in RetroArch to make it so that when one controller replaces another in that port, that the new controller's mappings are used? Am I better off skipping RetroArch all together and just launching directly from the different emulators for each system?

I am using the Mayflash GameCube Controller Adapter with the hope of being able to both navigate the Big Box interface as well as control my GameCube games through Dolphin using a GameCube controller. The adapter has a switch located on the back, where one position is "PC" and the other is "Wii U / NS" This issue I'm having is that I am only able to navigate Big Box while the switch is set to "PC", and only able to control Dolphin/my games when the switch is set to "Wii U/NS." As you can imagine this is not ideal, as I do not want to have to physically switch from one to the other every time I want to play a GameCube game. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated; I'm thinking it's more likely to get BigBox to recognize the Controller when it's in "Wii U/NS" mode as opposed to getting Dolphin to work while in "PC" mode, but I have little understanding of what the actual issue is here so open to whatever works.
