Controller to Player Mapping
RetroN 5 supports a sophisticated controller mapping system, whereby you can manually select which of the wired
and wireless controllers to assign to each player. This allows you to create a virtual “multi-tap”, for example, if
playing a 4 player SNES title you may assign wired controllers SNES port 1 to Player 1, SNES port 2 to Player 2,
Genesis port 1 to Player 3 and the RetroN 5 Wireless controller to Player 4. To assign controllers for each system:
• Use System Playing to select the system you wish to configure controllers for (each system type has its own
configuration).
• Use the D-PAD UP/DOWN buttons to select the player number you wish to assign, then on the individual controller
you wish to assign to that particular player, press the “A”/“+” button.
Button Mapping
RetroN 5 also supports a powerful button re-mapping system, which allows you to configure customized mappings
between buttons on your physical controllers and the corresponding buttons on the target system. For example, you
may decide that for playing NES titles, you wish to use a SNES controller and re-map the SNES controller Y to NES
B, SNES controller X to NES A etc. Button mappings are created as profiles, each of which specifies a relationship
between a single type of physical controller and a single target system.
• System Playing – Select the game system you wish to play.
• Controller Used – Select the physical controller used for that system.
• Current Profile – Select the current profile you wish to use.
• Manage Profiles – From here you may add a new profile, view the default button mapping or edit/remove an
existing profile.
To add or edit a button mapping profile, use the D-PAD to configure your new button mapping and then press
“B”/“–” to save your changes and return to the previous menu.
