Fun #BlueRetro fact: since v1.8.4, there's a macro for toggle GamePad and GamePadAlt: L2 + R2 + Start + Select or just the "Home" button (PS button, Heart button, etc) if your controller has it! This works great for switching #PCEngine games from 2 to 6 button mode.

Here's my BlueRetro config for Xbox One controllers on GoldenEye and Perfect Dark with the 2.4 control style! LB and RB cycles weapons. D-Pad down makes you crouch, stand with D-Pad up. Select opens up the UltraHDMI menu if you have one. Sticks set to Circular -> N64 Hexagon.

Want to play games like GoldenEye and Perfect Dark with a modern control scheme? Since RetroRosetta units support upto 4 outputs they can make use of the profiles built into #BlueRetro for mapping the games dual controller options to a single dual stick controller!
