By default ROCKNIX will detect your controller and configure RetroArch hotkeys automatically. This is controlled by the "AUTOCONFIGURE RETROARCH HOTKEYS" option in the Settings > Controller & Bluetooth menu. While the option is enabled, RetroArch hotkeys will be overwritten by the above defaults each time RetroArch is launched. If this behavior is not desired that option can be disabled and your user-defined RetroArch hotkeys will be used instead.

Z and L button assignment can be changed directly in EmulationStation
- Highlight the game and press X(NORTH)
- Select ADVANCED GAME OPTIONS
- Set EMULATOR to MUPEN64PLUSSA
- Then change INPUT ONFIGURATION
  - Default: L1 = L, L2 = Z
  - Z & L SWAP: L1 = Z, L2 = L
You can also create your own custom controller configuration and add it to /storage/.configs/game/configs/mupen64plussa. Then update INPUT CONFIGURATION to CUSTOM following the same steps as above.
