Input mapping returning to default when controller changes

[not-well]

Description

I have a DualShock 3 and recently bought Retroflag's classic Mega Drive controller, I made the mapping of the buttons and everything went well until I went back to using DualShock and the mapping for it got lost, I found it strange, but I did the mapping again, however, when I was playing again with the Retroflag's controller the same problem happened, the mapping I did previously was lost.

If I just exit the Retroarch to return afterwards to play with the same controller I used the last time the mapping is maintained.

Expected behavior

Keep the input mapping

Actual behavior

If the device index changes the mapping are lost

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Map a controller
2. Change the controller to one of another brand
3. Map this controller
4. Return to the previous controller

Are you creating autoconfigs for the pads?

Yes. The strange thing is that the autoconfig file doesn't update when the config are lost, it only updates when I remap again but nothing changes in the files.

Probably the files are in a read only location then

I think not. I think I did not express myself well. When I manually create autoconfig the file updates normally, which shows that it is not read only, what I saying is that when the settings are lost and I will check the file it still has the remap information that I entered, but in the Retroarch the commands do not match the autoconfig file for the controller. And if I do the mapping again the file will be updated but the information will be the same as the last mapping.
