This is my gamepad config
```
input_device = "playsega controller"
input_driver = "udev"
input_b_btn = "0"
input_y_btn = "4"
input_select_btn = "7"
input_start_btn = "8"
input_up_axis = "-1"
input_down_axis = "+1"
input_left_axis = "-0"
input_right_axis = "+0"
input_a_btn = "1"
input_x_btn = "2" 
input_l_btn = "3"
input_r_btn = "5"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "7"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "8"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6"
input_reset = "8" 
```
~~1st.question~~: (solved)
Why the emulator soft reset hotkey is not working?

2nd. question:
I have found these command in “/opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg”
‘input_remapping_directory = /opt/retropie/configs/nes/`
I am wonder if I can store in that directory different gamepad settings per emulator and how does it work?

3rd question:
In terms of NES emulation, how can I can set up turbo keys, for example “Y” be the turbo of “B” and “X” be the turbo of “A”?

Maybe I’m wrong, but I think you can’t have 2 enable_hotkey. You have to choose the one you prefer and deal with it.
Also I think you don’t have to repeat the line for each new hotkey you want to associate with.

…For your 2nd question, I don’t know if creating a new mapping file in /opt/retropie/configs/nes/ would make it, but actually you can remap your controllers directly in this file (/opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg).

I have tried:
```
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "7"
input_reset = "8"
```
And didn’t worked :(

Update: I FIXED!!!
was my mispelling mistake, the write code here:
```
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "7"
input_reset_btn = "6"
```
Feeling silly by mistake the input and forgot also the “btn” thingy

The problem is that I use 3 different controllers, so i cannot take the risk of stick mapping gamepad settings directly in retroarch.cfg, my interpretation was like a defined folder that supports storage gamepads configs that has priority over the “/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs” directory for specific emulator… it’s just a guess =P i havent tried yet

You should just do a quick test to see if it works, it sounds like it should though.

For your first problem, I think it doesn’t work because you have set 2 functions to the same button “8”.

EDIT:
Oh, yo edited your post at the same time ;)

The emulator specific configurations override the ones in all/Retroarch.cfg.

havent tried it on systems that doesnt require specific configuration (gba, n64) anyway though.
