Reassigning Inputs and Hotkeys
While an NES game is running in Mednafen, press ALT + SHIFT + 1. This will prompt you to set and confirm all of your inputs for player 1. To set up player 2's controls, press ALT + SHIFT + 2 and repeat the process. [1]
Alternatively, you can edit Mednafen's config file in a text editor. Open ~/.mednafen/mednafen.cfg. Scroll down to, or search for ";nes" (without the double-quotes), and set the desired keycodes for your inputs.
If you're using Mednafen with Wah!Cade in an arcade cabinet, you will probably want to redefine the 1 and 2 keys, which are used as save state selections by default. Scroll down in the config file to ";Save" and make the following changes:
;Save state 1 select command.1 keyboard 0 ;Save state 2 select command.2 keyboard 0
Now you can map player 1 start to the 1 key, and player 2 start to the 2 key, without conflicting with the save state selector.
The help menu is accessible at any time by pressing F1.
