Description
It would be useful if individual .cfg files could be loaded from: Settings -> Input -> Port [1-5] Controls
Example how it could look like
- Settings -> Input -> Port 1 Controls -> Load Configurations [the proposed entry]
- Select a file, say udev/Nintendo - Switch Pro Controller.cfg
- Make RA modify the variable names from "input_player1_" to "input_player1_", to make the compatible with retroarch.cfg.
