Hi
Here is the list of wirelesss controllers i have
4x NSO N64 Controllers
4x PS3 dualshock
2x NSO SNES
2x NSO NES
4x 8bitdo genesis and 2x NSO 3-button genesis controllers (will probably use the 8bit do ones)
2x 8bitdo arcade sticks

Here is the list of wired controllers i have
2x Siden lightguns (not setup at all though)
4x GameCube controllers + mayflash USB adapter

I have the complete romset of all games from Atari to PS2 on a mini NUC.

I want to set them up for a business so the process and friction of turning it on, and entering to play a game should be seamless.
I had it setup with just the n64+dualshock for awhile but realised the onboard Bluetooth was bad with the ps3 controllers and bought a dongle which required me to disable my onboard, then the programs/tools that allowed me to pair my ps3 controllers stopped working. But even when it was working, it was hard to turn OFF controllers once they were paired and connected and retroarch tried to use ps3 controllers for n64 games, etc. etc.

My question is firstly - is there a way in retroarch or bigbox to DISABLE using a controller which is pair+connected(on) and only use the controllers which is configured for it? For example. If we are playing N64 with the nso controllers, then swap to PS1 game and turn those controllers on, usually retroarch will identify the nso controllers and plug them into port1/2 etc.

I am using retroarch for all emulators EXCEPT PS2 and GC.

So far the biggest issue for me is the PS3 controllers. When i used my onboard it connects but it has massive intermittent delay (even my official switch struggles with joycons [too much bluetooth in the area?]) Then i tried using a dongle but  scptoolkit doesn't work without intel Bluetooth and the dongle was giving me driver issues after i disabled the onboard and didn't install the software/driver provided on the manufacturer website Baesus.

Any advices/hardware to buy to get this setup working would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading
