I don’t know about all possible scenarios, so if someone has plans for the singularity/etc. This makes repeated executions safe-if you copy a file, delete the copy, then copy it again, you still have the original file and the copy, the same as at the beginning. It’s a little simpler-and most config files are small enough that you can afford to keep a copy. One difference to your current scheme is that if you’re currently using config 2, for example, you’ll have two copies of the file: one with a number 2, the other without a number (and thus in use). This doesn’t modify the numbered cfg’s, since they don’t get renamed, so you could mark them read-only and it would still work (not that you need to). That way, when you run a given batch file, you replace RetroArch.cfg with the relevant numbered cfg. I would just keep persistent copies of the RetroArchX.cfg files and copy them into RetroArch.cfg.

So, any ideas on how I can make this work? Or, just general comments on keymapper software are welcome.

But trying to figure out how to get 3 files working is a little beyond my n00b sklls. If the same batch file accidentally gets execuated twice, it knows not to overwite anything, 3. Only, one of the three will always be named RetroArch.cfg. Soooo, the one I’m currently working on, and hopefully one of you brilliant individuals can help me sort this out, is 3 different batch files, that will toggle to make one of the following, RetroArch1.cfg, RetroArch2.cfg, and RetroArch3.cfg, into RetroArch.cfg. When I switch back, I wrote a batch file that switches the display back, and then opens ‘Desktop OK’ to automatically resort the icons, since windows likes to rearrange everything every time the resolution changes.Īnother batch file I wrote shuts down any instance of Xpadder, reopens another Xpadder.exe (I have 3 of them in 3 different locations with their own cfg files) based on whatever controller I’m getting ready to use, then moves my NEStopia.rmp file to a temp folder, so that the DualShock 3 controllers get Square and X as B and A, and the Arcade sticks get the standard horizontal layout. Like, for example, he has ‘switch monitor’ built into the app, so you can switch to your TV from the gamepad. This lets you do a ton of cool stuff if you’re creative.

One nice thing in particular, is being able to map custom commands, like open a file. I use Controller Companion in combination with Xpadder. It’s a con for obvious reasons, but it’s a pro, because if there are situations where you need all 3 gamepads to have certain mappings/commands, this is a quick and easy solution. The one caveat, that is both a con and a pro, you can’t customize profiles for each gamepad.

Typing with a controller using that actually isn’t too terrible.Ĭontroller companion only works with Xbox controllers (or controllers that your PC thinks is an xbox controller). It has this spiral virtual keyboard that appears when you click the left analog.

Plus, you can’t map anything to the Xbox/PS button.īut controller companion, with the one glaring omission of not being able to custom bind commands to the analog sticks, is reliable, intuitive, and has great functionality. Xpadder is more reliable with a multiplayer setup, but has annoying quirks that you have to be become aware of and then work around. PGP (and now Padstarr) is great for a 1 player setup and clearly has the most options, but sucks (hard) at a multiplayer setup. I’ve tried various keymappers and they all have their flaws.

It works with Xbox 360 controllers, and PS3 controllers if you’re using the SCP driver (it’s the one you want). So I found this app, called ‘Controller Companion’.
