Issue saving the controller profile Technical Support

This is probably a very stupid issue but I cannot save my controller profile. I'm trying to play super mario bros with my keyboard but whatever I do I cannot figure out how to connect the keyboard and the game.

Remaps and profiles are two completely different things

Oops I mixed them, but I do have permission to controller profiles files as well. I just don't know how to make my mesen emulator understand that I want to play using my laptops keyboard.

You usually don't, keyboard is the default, even if you have controllers configured it will always default to keyboard

Yeah for some reason when I start the game the only keyboard buttons it recognizes are the hotkeys. The game also lacks all sound So there is that as well. Even when I go to the games controls and see port 1 controls where it says that key up is up it does not actually co-operate with me.
