      Hi,
      Just did an Update Installed Packages, rebooted and found that all my button mappings are broken. It says it loads a core remap file, but the buttons are all mixed up for all the games. Is that supposed to happen?
      Thanks

        It's because the RetroArch has changed the format for remap files with their 1.7.3 version due to the new Input Mapping Menu redesign - https://forums.libretro.com/t/new-input-remapping-menu.
        It's not supposed to happen normally, but this feature received a major upgrade and had to break backwards compatibility for the remap files saved from previous versions.
