RetroArch - Button Config Questions

[TheMadHatter]

OK, so after searching online for the best way to configure a controller for a specific system and keep it that way for the rest of the time i play games with that system on RetroArch for awhile now and figured I might as well ask around here too. 

 

So what im trying to do is for example right now I have 

 

SNES

 

Sega Genesis

 

Both playing from RetroArch

 

I want to be able to configure the controller when I go into a sega genesis game and press F1 and configure it and it stay configured. 

 

And then go to SNES game and pull up F1 options and configure that controller separately.

 

Then if i closed down everything and start everything up i would like it to use those configs everytime i open that specific system and start playing a game.

 

I thought i just go into input and do the controller settings and save state but that didnt work out too well after reentering a different system it seems like it didnt save when i return to the system's controls i initially changed.

 

Is this easier than im making it?

Think i figured it out. Go in actual system set up button layout > save config > go to config file in emulators folder and go into config and rename appropriate config to console?
