RETROARCH-JOYCONFSystem Manager's Manual: retroarch-joycRETROARCH-JOYCONFIG(1)

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	 bind‐
       ings 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/autocon‐
	      fig/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 val‐
	      ues 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  con‐
	      figured.	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 config‐
	      ures 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.
