RetroArch Key Bing for Each Emulator

[latin625]

Hi, Is there a tutorial on how to bind input keys to each core on RetroArch?

Simply have per core settings on and it should work to rebind your controller for each core. I have certain cores setup to use my Xbox 360 controller and others setup to use my Hori FC4 controller. If you want to have different setups for different systems that use the same core like the Genesis GX core for Master System and Genesis, make a copy of the Genesis GX core dll and rename it. So for example make a copy of the core and rename it to something like Master_System.dll the set that dll in your associated platforms for the Master System. Then when you load that dll it will generate its own cfg file with its own bindings.

Understood!  So how would I bind the controls?  I would load the core first?  Then Bind? Thanks!

Yeah load up a game that uses the core you want to rebind. Then go to the cog wheel menu, then down to input, then Input User 1 Binds. Change the device if you want to use a different controller, the User 1 Bind All and just assign your buttons with the prompts, for buttons you don't have or want just let them time out and you are done.
