Yeah, changing per game isn't that big of a deal and takes 30 seconds a single time.   As I play each 4-player game I even go through the setup of making them 1 2 3 4 on the board and it only takes a minute.

Here is the one I'm working on for that exact reason.

yeah, but if player 1 has the option to either use their 2 joysticks or their right joystick and player 2's left joystick (for the sake of being centered), one set of mappings isn't going to work.  You'd need things mapped differently for a 2 player game.  Otherwise player 2's left joystick is still messing with P1's controls.
