( How to make ) Solid setup with Multiple Controllers ( oldschool ( DIN ) ) - Big/LaunchBox - Settings with Retroarch ( ? )

[JuicyT]

Hi there, Great day to you,

How would i get multiple games, with multiple controller types, easily working ( without ( ( almost ) ever ) having to go tweak the backend/figure out what config file has been altered ) - and just be able to load LaunchBox, and run a game, with a controller specifically assigned to it ( ? )

What do i have to know, when it seems like everything keeps changing/being overwritten/controllers disappearing ( almost on the fly ) ( ? )

I know there must be something i must be doing, that's possible to either avoid or somehow rectify - to make sure i got many controllers easily accessible & Saved ( & Solidly ( forever ) Set for a game )

 

I'm asking bc it has been seeming like a maze to figure out, and every time i save something something else breaks.... and going to another game all controller settings are not present - and i would like to ensure a smooth & stable setup with futureproofing ( just something one is able to turn on... like turning on an oldschool gaming setup, plug&play and things work - always )

Thanks for all the assistance, to get a solid and easy to work with arcade/gaming setup ( as they were originally intended )

Stay Blessed & Have a Great Fun ahead,

J
