Getting external gamepads to work for TV play

Post by gfranklin »

Hi All,
Got my Raspiboy a couple of weeks ago and it's working brilliantly.
My kids love playing on it, so I thought I'd get a pair of USB controllers so they can play on the TV. I've connected and set up the controllers, but am struggling to use them to play a game.
My issue seems to be that the system wants to use the built-in pad as player 1, making the external pads players 2 and 3. I really wanted to not use the built in pad when playing on the TV (effectively making the Raspiboy a traditional console sat under the TV.
Is this possible? An I doing something wrong? Is there a way of choosing which controllers are numbers 1, 2 or 3?
Cheers
Gareth
