Ive been having an annoying issue that ive been putting off until recently. mostly as i cannot find much information on it.

I have a dolphin bar and two PS4 controllers on my PC. My issue is certain games, emulators, etc choose the dolphin bar as priority. This becomes an issue as order of controllers isnt right. For example:

In Battlefield 3 & 4, with the dolphin bar connected, the game will not respond to my controller input via my ps4 controllers unless i unplug the dolphin bar and re-run the program.
(there are a very small amount of games that this affects, but battlefield is a clear example for me)

in RetroArch, input defaults to the dolphin bar 4 different times, before going to the game controller. This isnt a serious issue, but the default settings of amount of inputs for RetroArch is 16. If I drop that setting to anything below 5, suddenly RetroArch doesnt see my gamepads anymore, only the dolphin bar.

If I go into game controller settings in devices and printers in windows, I can change the default "Preferred Device" under the Advanced button, but this changes nothing. I believe the issue is that Dolphin bar is listed first. in the Game controller settings menu, the mayflash Wiimote pc adapter is listed 4 times before showing either of my "Xbox" gamepads.

Does anyone know of a way to resolve this issue?

I am having this same issue. Working on finding a fix today.

So far my fix had been to go into the settings/input and set the mayflash devices to "disable" on 1-4 and then set xinput on device 1 (im using inputmapper with my ps4 controller) and it's working great now. You have to press right on the mayfash name for the device index. It will take a second or two but then you can change it to disable. I almost thought this did not work as I was not waiting for the delay and did not see the change.

You will still see the mayflash device being detected at the start of every rom, but it wont have priority anymore on input 1.

I also saved the cfg, but my system is setup to autosave on exit.

I hope this helps someone Smile
