URGENT Controller configs not saving

ncoonce

I am trying to play N64 ROMs. When I launch the Polycade and subsequently a n64 rom for the first time (ex mario kart) I have to go in and map the settings. First in controls under quick menu and then port binds under the input menu. When I do this I go back into the controls menu and save the core config. The controls will then work in that game but upon exit they will stop working when I return to that game or any other N64 game. I have to do the same process all over each time I open a game. Not sure why it is not saving and is a real pain. Does anyone have any ideas? We are having a party Saturday night and I'd love to have this up and running for it. @admin @Jake Thanks!

I believe retroarch (the emulator running n64 games) saves config on exit, and when you exit the game via Polycade AGS, it kills the emulator process instead of the emulator getting to do it's "safe shutdown" procedure.

So, you'll want to do your controller mapping and then either find the save function in retroarch's menus (main menu > configuration file > save current configuration), or just exit retroarch via the retroarch menu.

That worked. Thank you!
