Emulation Retroarch- Change Gamepad from player 1?

[Whodat2345]

Hello,
So my issue is being able to change a different controller to port 1. As of right now I can only use the Gamepad. I have a classic controller set as port 2, I go into port 1 and change the “device index” to classic controller... And none of the buttons work. From this point I can’t even switch the “device index” back to the Gamepad, the only thing that works is pressing on the triggers/shoulders to reset retroarch on the Gamepad. I would just like to be able to play games with other controllers as player 1 and not the Gamepad. Any info is much appreciated, thank you!

I have been running into this same issue. Wondering if it's a Retroarch bug or some sort of error on my part.

So I'm guessing this has never been addressed? I have the same issue with my Ayaneo Geek and RetroArch, where the internal controler is recognized as input 1 and external gamepads as 2 and so forth, but when I deactivate the internal one and the external gamepad is input 1, RA doesn't recognize any inputs from that gamepad anymore...

Once in game you can re adjust Controller order
When in game open the Quick Menu
Goto Controls
Goto Port 2 Controls
Change Mapped Port from 2 to 1
Go back in game and check if the Controller is now recognised as Player 1
