Hello! This program is amazing! However when I build it on Fedora 30 and run as root and connect my Wii Remote, it is seen as 4 Virtual Gamepads in the emulation software Gnome Games. The first, third, and fourth do nothing, while all buttons are processed by the second. In this application, I cannot reorder players according to gamepads, so if these redundant "gamepads" under the same name could be removed, it'd be great. Screenshot from 2019-09-14 23-01-13

You should be able to use the --num-gamepads <n> command line argument in order to change how many virtual gamepads are present.

Yes, the num gamepads option should give you what you want. The default is 4, and currently this number has to be given at start up.

I will also mention that MG allows you to "assign" your input devices to these various virtual gamepads, which allows you to dynamically re-order players even in applications that don't let you.

But if you are always playing single player, then setting the number of gamepads to 1 is a good choice.
