Ports change when i restart windows


Rookie

Recommended Posts

I have a arcade that has lightgun , logitech 920 sterring wheel and pedals , and a trackball , i set all the general inputs and then individually setup each game and then changed them all to read only but everytime my computer restarts all the settings i put in are still there but the ports change for everything so say i set the steering wheel to joy1 everytime the computer restarts the wheel is on a different name like joy2 or button 1 , ive waisted so much time redoing this 20 times , is there a way to make the port i set stay on that port ?

Unfortunately there isn't a universal method that works for everything. 

It is very emulator specific but there are solutions. For MAME you want to set up static IDs, which the MAME Docs explain well.

For DInput devices, a tool like devreorder can also help with other emulators.
