Special controllers

For Some emulators, RetroBat is able to automatically configure special controllers such as N64 controllers or Genesis-like controllers.

The mapping can be defined by each user in json files, some controllers configuration are already provided with RetroBat.

Mapping file location

Mapping for special controllers can be found in the system\resources\inputmapping folder of your RetroBat installation, the current list of special controllers is the following:

• 3DO controllers

• Megadrive/Genesis controllers

• Saturn controllers

• N64 controllers

• Gamecube controllers

If you change the mapping or add controllers, place your modified file in the user\inputmapping folder of your RetroBat installation, else it might be overwritten during an update.

Type of controllers & emulators currently supported

The following table provides a list of currently-supported type of special controllers and emulators in which RetroBat offers autoconfiguration.

When a special controller is detected, RetroBat will completely ignore the configuration done in RetroBat for the controller button mapping and force mapping to match the original system.
