Reviving this, because I just found out that you can have the hotkey act as a dedicated pausekey if in Retroarch you assign it to the same button press.

In my situation, my middle front button on my arcade is mapped to keyboard "o".
In Retroarch I assigned both my hotkey and my toggle pause key to "o", and this means that games pauses when I press it, but it still serves as a hotkey, so the other hotkey commands works as well (though the game pauses).

Not sure if this will work as an exit button (the game will then exit when you hotkey), but with pause it does!

Yup, here is their last post about the maintenance:

Ask the author of Motion Blue for support if you can't get it to work. Only the official Retropie image is supported here.

What are the two images? I saw in your other post about this issue that you were using Motion Blue v5. Are you saying that the trackball works with the default Retropie image from this site?

Stephen Selph's scraper is also not returning any artwork. Looks like a problem with the thegamesdb.net API:

@dunginhawk the retroarch configs are described here. This page is about controller configuration, but the paths are there. You probably want to edit the global config. Just remember, these settings only affect libretro core emulators, not stand-alone.

@herb_fargus Ok thanks ill look into those also wish i could load my save from SD Gundam G Generation F to F.i.f but it makes a separated save file instead.

How much free space is there on the sd card? In emulationstation, press F4 then post the values below Size, Used, Avail here.

Solved it by updated to latest version.
This can be closed.

@rufus377 please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

sorry read a few articles and got it fix sorry for wasting time

i see that controller has an integrated 3-way mode switch, have you tried booting retropie with it in each of the 3 modes? have a look at this guide:

it might be the next step if nothing else works. also, this thread is old but may still be of help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mad-catz-mojo/general/setting-c-t-r-l-r-retroarch-t2987569

@bytethis i popped it in my phone and formatted it and just reloaded retro pi on there and it worked like a charm!!
