i got an question as the title already mentions i want to have the save state button for slot 1 in L2 and load stage in R2 i tried this in the tools and then customize common or all but it doesnt register it when i try to edit it i can change the normal controlls but not in that:( it would make TAS alot easier since i always use joypad

Give the program JoyToKey a shot.

There were some old hacks from the original VBA that made the emulator recognize fastforward, screen snapshot and Gameshark toggle as GBA button input. It is possible to recognize some more emulator commands like load/save states as button input, too. But hacking is not a good way. There should be other applications that can do what JoyToKey does. Test your luck with google.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days <adelikat> no doubt <adelikat> klmz, they still do

that where you can config fast forward snapshot and gameshark are under controller config so thats not the prob and i tried searching on google for a way to get my L2/R2 into save/load state but google didt sayt any result that would help me in anyway:(

I noticed that when I edited a shortcut for Load Current state, vba.ini added this to it: 
keyboardCount=644

So while CTRL+L is the recognized default, somehow VBA uses some hex crap to store them. If somebody can interpret it, then it could be possible to add it. (I added CTRL+K to Current State Load in VBA Recording 20, BTW.) (All return carriages except after keyboardCount=644 are to prevent massive stretching of the forum tables. Remove them if you're wanting to have real results.)
