So I had an install a while back with the bezel project, it was working great but there was a ton of other stuff that was not exactly working great so I had to uninstall. I'm not using retroarch but I have it installed. I have a full ROM set so it should be installing pretty much everything but it only seems to want to touch around 2000 and no games I actually care about. If I look in the artwork directory it has most of the game's bezels, but if I look in the cfg directory there's almost nothing there. I've tried reinstalling both with retroarch and mame and I've had no luck. Really at this point if I just had a copy of the cfg files and could shove them in the directory that would be fine Very frustrating and I'm not sure what to do.

You're a miracle worker! That was exactly it. It was odd because I found a person who got it working on a different forum and they had to put in the entire string, not just the interface part so I didn't think to try that. I just reconfigured it and we're pretty much good to go I think for 90% of the games.

I'm not seeing anything spit out by the verbose option when it runs... so for some reason it's ignoring that line of code. So is it ignoring it because somehow I have the controller names wrong or the syntax? Ugh. At least it isn't crashing.

Ok, so how does order of operations work with this? That is to say, are the controllers remapped on boot or is it only when I actually start a ROM? I've been experimenting with changing the joystick numbers and it doesn't seem to have any effect but I haven't actually tried it with a rom running.

Awesome.. now it doesn't crash when I run it... It doesn't actually seem to do anything but it doesn't crash so that's a step up.

So bought a pack of 4 controllers off from amazon and I'm of course running into the trouble that the computer does not register the devices in the same order everytime So I need to set it up as a stable controller. Looking into it I've looked at my controllers from doing a verbose start Input: Adding joystick #0: Generic USB Joystick (device id: Generic USB Joystick product_00060079-0000-0000-0000-504944564944 instance_27bd7f40-a85c-11eb-8001-444553540000) Input: Adding joystick #1: Generic USB Joystick (device id: Generic USB Joystick product_00060079-0000-0000-0000-504944564944 instance_27bdcd60-a85c-11eb-8002-444553540000) Input: Adding joystick #2: Generic USB Joystick (device id: Generic USB Joystick product_00060079-0000-0000-0000-504944564944 instance_27bdcd60-a85c-11eb-8003-444553540000) Input: Adding joystick #3: Generic USB Joystick (device id: Generic USB Joystick product_00060079-0000-0000-0000-504944564944 instance_27c0daa0-a85c-11eb-8008-444553540000) Which I gather would lead to this CFG file...
