Can you have multiple gamepad config profiles?

I was trying to create multiple gamepad button profiles. I thought that configuring Input Devices 1-5 was how to do it but it only uses the buttons from Input 1. Are we allowed to have more than one gamepad profile?

Devices 1-5 are different SNES controllers(3-5 enable the multitap), not alternate mappings for controller 1.

You can enable "use P3/4 as P1/2" and that lets you use device 3 as a second device 1.

You can also have game-specific controller configurations.

Thanks for the tip about using P3/4 as P1/2.

How do you use the Game Specific option? I did enable it before but it didn't seem to do anything.

When that's checked, and you have a game loaded, you can adjust the controls and it'll only apply to that game.

It doesn't work for me. I checked Game Specific, loaded a game, and configured the controls. Then I loaded a different game and unchecked the box but the buttons didn't get changed back to the default. I still had the same controls I configured for the first game.

Hmm, don't know how it works specifically, but it probably loads it on game load, so it won't revert to defaults without a restart. Not sure if it'll just save the last game's config on quit, though.

Just experiment.

I would expect unchecking the game-specific option to disable game-specific configs, so you're stuck with whatever your current config is.
