NAME
retroarch-joyconfig - Tool to configure joypad bindings for retroarch.
SYNOPSIS
retroarch-joyconfig [OPTIONS]...
DESCRIPTION
retroarch-joyconfig is a simple tool that allows updating or creating a
configuration file for retroarch. It reads in necessary joypad
bindings for a certain user and joypad.
EXAMPLE COMMANDLINES
Configure joypad for user 1, using first joypad. Configuration is
dumped to a file.
retroarch-joyconfig -p 1 -j 0 -o inputconfig.cfg
Configure joypad for user 1, using first joypad. Update retroarch.cfg
directly.
retroarch-joyconfig -p 1 -j 0 -i retroarch.cfg -o retroarch.cfg
Configure joypad for user 1, using first joypad. Configuration is
dumped to stdout.
retroarch-joyconfig -p 1 -j 0
Create an autoconfig file using first joypad.
retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 -a
~/.config/retroarch/autoconfig/pad.cfg
GENERAL OPTIONS
--player PLAYER, -p PLAYER
Configuration will be done for the user PLAYER. This can be from
1 up to and including 5 (multitap). Default is configuration
for user 1.
--joypad PAD, -j PAD
Which joypad to use when configuring. Use a numeric indexing.
Default here is 0 (first joypad).
--driver DRIVER, -d DRIVER
Uses a particular joypad driver instead of the first available
one.
--input PATH, -i PATH
Use config file found in PATH as a base. Old configuration
values can be overwritten by new values when configuring binds.
If not used, an empty config file will be used as a base. Using
this option only does not update the file found in PATH.
--output PATH, -o PATH
Writes the final config to a file, rather than stdout. If -i and
-o point to the same file, the file found in PATH will simply be
updated with the new configs.
-a PATH, --autoconfig PATH
Also writes an autoconfigure file for the joypad which was
configured. It can be used by RetroArch to automatically
configure a joypad when it's plugged in.
--misc, -m
Also configure some binds that aren't directly related to
RetroPad, such as save states, menu toggle, etc. Only
configures some of the most useful binds.
--allmisc, -M
Same as --misc, but goes through every bind available (40+).
Very exhaustive.
-t SECONDS, --timeout SECONDS
Adds a timeout of N seconds to each bind. If timed out, the bind
will not be used.
--help, -h
Prints help message.
