RetroN5: Hands on first look

[Leo_A]

I wonder if controller port 2 for any of the three pairs of controller ports can be used for player 1 on this thing? Would be convenient since it would allow a secondary controller that's regularly used to always be plugged in at the ready (like your favorite arcade stick).

Came across this old post of mine and thought I'd bump the question. Could I keep, for instance, my ASCII SuperNes arcade stick and my ASCII SuperNes gamepad plugged into the two controller ports at the same time and switch off as necessary?

Or does player 1's controller always have to be plugged into port 1, despite this being an emulation machine not bound to the same constraints as original hardware?

Hardly important beyond satisfying my curiosity, but that's reason enough to ask.
