Thanks for this, so helpful and works great. As of Retroarch 1.5.0, I keep my Mayflash Dolphin Bar on all the time on Mode 4. I use real Wiimotes with continuous scanning in Dolphin.
Driver Section:
Input Driver - set to sdl2
Joypad Driver - set to xinput
Input Section:
Max Users - set to max number of players you'll use + 4
- I need 2 players max so I set this to 6
- allows for the 4 controllers automatically created by the Mayflash bar
Input User (1 - ?) Binds
- set User ? Device Index to the correct gamepad for each user per Ilhank's guide (below)
Works like a champ, no need to unplug or disable the Mayflash Dolphin Bar.
I'm sorry for what may be considered a necro post, but I bought a DolphinBar and configured it today to A) work with Dolphin and B) not interfere with Retroarch thanks to this thread. This method worked well for having my Steam Controllers as User 1 and 2, User 3 and 4 for friends' controllers, and User 5 - 8 for the Mayflash created controllers. xinput works fine as the Joypad Driver for me and the DolphinBar can just sit in its customary Mode 4.
I only have one outstanding issue, however. When the DolphinBar is on, Analog to Digital will not work for any of the controllers, even my Steam Controllers as User 1 and 2. As soon as I turn the DolphinBar off, Analog to Digital works fine. I've quadruple-checked my settings and Retropad w/ Analog is there and Analog to Digital is set to the Left Analog. I've tried with sdl2 and xinput as the Joypad Driver but no dice. This is so frustrating, as everything else is working fine and I can't think of any logical reason why the DolphinBar simply being on would prevent this one specific setting, on other controllers no less.

Someone else must have had this issue, surely?
