Description
Not sure if this is expected behaviour on OSX but it appears the controller profiles aren't called when loading a controller?
Retroarch log is here: https://pastebin.com/Sx3vQPSs
Expected behavior
Gamepad's profile to be saveable and loadable, otherwise there is just one profile that is forever overwritten when using different controllers.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Connect a controller to Mac
- Load Retroarch, set input driver to hid or mfi
- Check log or attempt to save a controller profile
- OS: OSX 13.4.1 / MacBook Air M1
