Saving Multi-tap settings in 'controls' in quick menu

I’m using the Genesis Plus GX core. It has multi player support. Some games for the Genesis used Electronic Arts Four Way Play multi tap adapter. It plugged into both controller ports.

The core allows you to change the ‘controller’ in port one and port two to a Four Way Play + Controller, and it works fine.

So my question is, is there a way to make RetroArch remember these settings just for that game? I tried creating a game options file, it didn’t remember those settings. I also tried making a game remap file, and it still didn’t remember the settings.
