    Hello Guys!

    Because of the sometimes painfull usage of joyconfig (how do i start it, how do i copy settings into other emulators? and so on)
    i wrote a little script if anyone is interested.
    It is optimized for EmulationStation 2!

    what does it do?
    It shows you your usb devices (is the joystick recognized?)
    It shows your dev/input (js0, js1 to know where the joystick is).

    After that you can choose what platforms you want to create your input (default all).

    Next it asks which player you would like to edit.
    After that it starts the normal joyconfig script but with correct parameters and copies it into the correct retroarch.cfg.

    What you need to do:
    1. make copies of retroarch.cfg as retroarch_original.cfg WITHOUT any player input (because the script will refer always to retroarch_original.cfg, copies it into retroarch.cfg and append the joystick-input) in every config folder like all, nes, snes, mame,…
    [retroarch.cfg are located in /opt/retropie/configs/*/]

    2. make a file called Joystick.sh (or any other name you want) and copy following code into it:

    #!/bin/sh
    #First Show USB Devices and Inputs inside dev that user knows what pi recognizes.
    echo Initialising Joystick Configuration...
    echo Showing all USB-Devices:
    sudo lsusb
    sleep 6
    echo " "
    echo " "
    echo Showing Devices in dev:
    sudo ls /dev/input
    echo Joysticks should be shown as js0, js1, js2 and so on.
    sleep 6s
    echo " "
    echo " "
    echo Remember your shown Devices for further configuration...
    sleep 3s
    echo Script will start in 5 Seconds...
    sleep 5s

    sudo cat /opt/retropie/configs/${platform}/p*.cfg >> /opt/retropie/configs/${platform}/retroarch.cfg
    

    Save it and start your script!

    If you played around with the RaspberryPi like me and you have an Section called Applications at EmulationStation you can run this script directly from ES like i do.

    Hope it helps somebody ^^
