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.

The help menu is accessible at any time by pressing F1.

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 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.
