Does MiSTer Remember Joystick Assignments Between Power Cycles?

Unread post by Dazed »

If I was to have 4 usb controllers setup would it remember which one was Player 1, 2 etc if I rebooted?

I’d like to have a permanent setup in my arcade cabinet so remembering which player is which is important.

Thanks

MiSTer resets the controller assignment whenever a new core is loaded. The first input pressed on any controller after a reset assigns that controller to be Player 1. So if you press a Player 2 direction or button on your arcade cabinet after a core loads, Player 2 will be assigned as Player 1.

Thanks for reply. I wonder if this is could be a future feature. I’m sure there are a lot of arcade cabinets that could use this functionality.
