- **Device**: Picks which gamepad to use for player N. A description of the pad is currently only available on Linux. - **Device**: Picks which gamepad to use for player N. The name of the pad is available.
- **Device Type**: Picks which device type to use. This is relevant for the libretro core itself, and mostly useful for PlayStation, which needs to know if you're using a DualAnalog device or not. - **Device Type**: Picks which device type to use.

Android and Wii ports allow you to configure binds more directly. ### Configuring joypad input
Configuring joypad input is supported from within RGUI.
Normal gameplay binds as well as RGUI hotkey binding is supported. It is possible to bind everything in succession for convenience.
### Expanding ### Configuring keyboard input
This part of RGUI is still somewhat immature on PC. We would ideally like a more direct way to configure input binds on PC here. Configuring keyboard input is currently not supported. To configure keyboard binds, it must be done outside RGUI.
### Configuring input outside of RGUI ### Configuring input outside of RGUI
There are a couple of options available to configure input outside RGUI. There are a couple of options available to configure input outside RGUI.
- **RetroArch-Phoenix**: This is probably the most convenient option at the moment if you like point-and-click GUIs. - **RetroArch-Phoenix**: This is probably the most convenient option at the moment if you like point-and-click GUIs. Note that Phoenix frontend is deprecated and won't receive support anymore.
- **retroarch-joyconfig**: A command-line tool (part of RetroArch package) which lets you get input from a joypad and update or create a config file. To update a config with new binds for player 1 using joypad #0, you would for example do `retroarch-joyconfig --player 1 --joypad 0 --input ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg --output ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg` (see `--help` or man page for more help). By default, only RetroPad binds are bound. You can use `--misc` to bind other hotkeys as well. If you want to use `retroarch-joyconfig`, you should build latest from Git (after 0.9.9-wip1) as a couple of needed changes were made to improve usability. - **retroarch-joyconfig**: A command-line tool (part of RetroArch package) which lets you get input from a joypad and update or create a config file.

## Setting up joypad autoconfiguration (Linux) ## Joypad autoconfiguration
### XInput (Windows)
When using XInput driver on Windows, XInput-enabled gamepads will be automatically configured for you.
Ideally, you shouldn't have to configure input at all with this.
### Setting up joypad autoconfiguration (Linux)
Linux port recently (after 0.9.9-wip1) got support for joypad hotplugging. Linux port recently (after 0.9.9-wip1) got support for joypad hotplugging.
This allows joypad to be plugged in and out of your machine while running. This allows joypad to be plugged in and out of your machine while running.
To have a more console-like experience, RetroArch supports joypad autoconfiguration, where the input config is updated depending on which devices are plugged in.
