      Hello all,

      I'm new to RetroPie and these forums and I have some hotkey questions...

      Looking at the default hotkey list, I see input_state_slot_increase_axis & input_state_slot_decrease_axis. I'm just wondering what those actually do? Do they control a player's credit count (coins)?

      Also, is the default hotkey list the only hotkeys one can use? Or are there others available? can I create custom hotkeys?

      • input_exit_emulator_btn
      • input_save_state_btn
      • input_load_state_btn
      • input_menu_toggle_btn
      • input_state_slot_increase_axis
      • input_state_slot_decrease_axis

      I have an arcade kit that came with Player 1, Player 2 and two Coin buttons. I'm wondering if I can use those custom buttons as they're intended using a hotkey combo. Or if they're useless becuase there is not associated hotkey command.

      Thanks!
      Jason

        @jason said in Hotkey Questions:

        This is to switch the save slot number upwards/downards. You can have more than one saves state slot, using these controls will switch between them (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.).
