how to change select+start hotkey?
-
sometimes (all the time) when i play an arcade game, i accidentally hit select+start and i lose my game. how do i change this button combination so that i can do for example select+r2 to exit instead of select+start to exit?
i am using a hori pokken controller. the config file located at /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/HORI CO.,LTD. POKKEN CONTROLLER.cfg
looks like;
input_device = "HORI CO.,LTD. POKKEN CONTROLLER"
input_driver = "udev"
input_l_btn = "4"
input_start_btn = "9"
input_up_btn = "h0up"
input_a_btn = "2"
input_b_btn = "1"
input_down_btn = "h0down"
input_r_btn = "5"
input_r2_btn = "7"
input_right_btn = "h0right"
input_x_btn = "3"
input_select_btn = "8"
input_y_btn = "0"
input_left_btn = "h0left"
input_l2_btn = "6"i have a pi 3 and i used win32diskimager to write retropie-4.3-rpi2_rpi3.img to my micro sd card
be stoked if somebody knows how to change this so i can stop accidentally dropping my games!

@n0tepad add two lines to that file with the following content:
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "ButtonNumberYouWantToSetAsHotkey" input_exit_emulator_btn = "ButtonNumberYouWantToSetAsExitEmulator"The buttons and the respective numbers you can see in the file itself.
I hope I was clear. ;-)

How would you enter that second line for exit if you wanted to use a combination of buttons (for instance, R1 + Start + L1)?

@doctorwolf the hotkeys enable button is the first you press to enable all the hotkeys. It just so happens that you are defining the exit emulator button as well in this instance. There are plenty of other hotkeys (such as save states etc) that also require you to press the enable hotkeys button in order to use, it's just that you aren't changing them in this setup.
You can only have two buttons in combo as well. Sorry just re-read your post. So like L1 and select. Or L2 and L1. Much like the select and start setup as the default is.

@meleu thanks meleu! now my cfg look like this;
input_device = "HORI CO.,LTD. POKKEN CONTROLLER"
input_driver = "udev"
input_l_btn = "4"
input_load_state_btn = "5"
input_start_btn = "9"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "4"
input_up_btn = "h0up"
input_a_btn = "2"
input_b_btn = "1"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_down_btn = "h0down"
input_r_btn = "5"
input_save_state_btn = "9"
input_r2_btn = "7"
input_right_btn = "h0right"
input_state_slot_increase_btn = "h0right"
input_x_btn = "3"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "3"
input_select_btn = "8"
input_y_btn = "0"
input_left_btn = "h0left"
input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "h0left"
input_l2_btn = "6"which causes select+start to save state
select+right shoulder loads state
select+left shoulder exits
