Hey yall,

I am using a Le Potato with EE4.6 and am having issues remapping controls to specific games. I am trying to remap a joystick and 6 buttons to play mortal kombat which has a weird layout and was able to go into retroarch settings while in game and assign different buttons to different moves. However, when I click the save to specific game, exit out of the game, then reload the game, the mapping does not save. I am able to remap through EmuElec main menu but that is applied to all games and I don’t want to use my MK mapping for all of the games.

Another thing to note: I was having sound issues and was trying to fix some things through RetroArch and it didn’t save as well.  
Are other people having issues with RetroArch not saving settings?

See:

> **[RetroArch Controller Configuration - RetroPie Docs](https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/)**
>
> RetroPie Project Documentation

Retroarch uses a virtual map for all controllers if you change it in the main menu it applies to all controllers for that button, If you want different assignments for a specific game you need to make a game remap file.
