Say your building a dual stick project (Opinions)
Saneless:
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.
Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to accomplish.
I thought you wanted the option of standing centered with the screen when only playing a one player game.

Right I was thinking to force the single player games to be played from center and creatively using CP artwork to illustrate that point to guests.

Most people seem to do a pretty similar setup for a 2-player dual-stick CP. Here's my entry into the mix:
