[Feature request] Being able to reassign controllers on the fly while playing a game

[notdexmo]

Quick summary

This feature was on the ps3, and i was shocked to find out it isn't on RPCS3. I explained it not too well in the title, so here's a example from a LBP1 Speedrun.

You can already do this by opening the controller settings and changing one of the other players to the same controller handler as your controller and setting the device to whichever your controller falls under

What you show here is part of the XMB to my knowledge which would require implementing multi-process support amongst other things

do you mind showing me how exactly to do it? every time i attempt it it either crashes my game or has me controlling 2 people at once.

The question is what happens when you have for example 4 players and you change player 1 to player 4.
Do they simply swap locations, or do they all get pushed "one down" so that player 2 is now player 1, player 3 is now player 2, etc. ?
