Since the Emulator Plugins are finally live and Retroplayer is now open for the Masses, i thought I give it another try and hell yeah it is very promising. Thanks to garbear and all the people contributing to it.
I have however found some Problems, this is regarding Controller Profiles. I am not sure if I completely understood the concept:
Those Controller Profiles seems to fit to purposes, 1. map Buttons for the actual hardware i.e. if I connect a real NES Controller, I can map this, or 2. If I have a generic (i.e. 360 Controller) I can map it ingame virtually to the real hardware ?
The latter ones is giving me problems here. First thing I tried was playing Sega Master System games, but since it has no dedicated Emulator, i have to choose between the 2 Multiplattform Emulators which covers SMS,GG,GEN,SX32. But here, I can't choose the SMS Profile, Only 6 Button GEN and GEN Mouse available. This leads to Problems, since the mapping for SMS within the Emulator seems to be quiet different, I ended up having Button 2 as left Shoulder Trigger. So I was wondering if a) the Game gear and Sega Master profiles could be added to the Multiplattform Emulators as well and b) in the meantime, is there a way for me to manually add them as Profile? I hope they are somehow just added by some config file.
Oh and also, there is a 4 Button Genesis Controller as well, I won't mind to create one myself, but how would I do that? An Amiga CD32 Controller Profile is also missing, wouldn't mind to help out here either.
Other Questions left:
Can I somehow disable the auto savestate load game feature? I see how this is nice, but for me it is unfortunately also rather annoying to reset the machine every time i wnat to start a new game.
Is there already a list with possible controller actions available somewhere? I looked into the joystick.xml and found some interesting Actions, (Savestate change etc) but they where commented, so i wonder will they even work?
