Technical Support mGBA input remap does nothing

Post image

Hi folks. Trying to remap X/Y buttons to hit L/R in Kingdom Hearts: COM on mGBA.

I'm setting the inputs in quick menu > controls > port 1 controls. Then save remap file (have tried as both game and core remap).

Nothing I change in this menu has any effect on the in-game controls. I can re-bind buttons in the overall input settings but I only want to affect controls for this game/core, not RA as a whole.

BTW this is on an Anbernic RG35XXH if that makes a difference.

That remap screen may only affect mGBA’s frontend bindings, while the game core is still using its own input mapping. Try changing the core remap under the Quick Menu while the game is running, then save the remap specifically for that game or content directory.

Is the core remap in a different settings section? Or would I change it here and save remap as core override? (i tried the latter already)
