Configuration file gets overwritten each time I run mupen64plus

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe your system:
 - Operating System (be specific): Mac OSX 10.6.8
 - Machine type (32-bit or 64-bit): 64
 - Mupen64Plus version: 1.99.5
- Plugins used:

Describe the problem:
I have attempted to use a custom keyboard configuration layout by changing the 
relevant parameters in my ~/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg file. However, 
when I load the program using any of the load scripts, e.g.:
./run_glide.sh ~/Desktop/N64/majorasmask.z64
The altered configuration file gets replaced by a new configuration file. I 
have tried adding the "--nosaveoptions" input to the run_glide.sh call, but 
that seems to not help; a new config file still gets written.

I am new to mupen64plus as of today so it is possible the error is mine and not 
in the coding, but if this is the case I would appreciate a pointer on how to 
map my own keyboard interface and have it stick!

Please provide any additional information below.

Sorry for the trouble.  The auto-configuration thing is complicated because we 
try to balance a bunch of different use cases.  The reason it overwrites the 
auto-configured keyboard configuration is to prevent someone from being unable 
to use his joystick when he previously ran the emulator without the joystick 
and it saved the keyboard config.  However there is a simple workaround for 
you.  Just change the "name" parameter in your controller config section from 
"AutoKeyboard" to "Keyboard", and then it won't overwrite your changes.

I am having the same problem when editing the Playstation 3 controller... when 
I change the configs, they are automatically overwritten upon launch. Also 
running Mac OSX.

Please change the mode setting of the controller as described here:
