      Hi all,
      I have recently tried to get GBA working on my RetroPie installation and, after about 30 minutes, the game booted and works fine and all of the controls work fine. However, key combinations don't work and lr-gpsp also doesn't work so I have to use GPSP normally. I don't have any way of accessing an F10 Key so is there any other way I can configure the controls?

      Thanks in advance,
      Josh

          Raspberry Pi: 1B
          I can't find a config to change the hotkeys for GPSP as I don't have access to the menus. The config file in the wiki:
          /opt/retropie/emulators/gpsp/gpsp.cfg
          I am unable to edit this file. ls -lrt shows this:

          -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 39544 Oct 4 2015 readme.txt
          -rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 904850 Oct 4 2015 gpsp
          -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 26896 Oct 4 2015 game_config.txt
          -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 17990 Oct 4 2015 COPYING.DOC
          lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jul 13 15:13 gba_bios.bin -> /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/gba_bios.bin
          lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 34 Jul 13 15:13 gpsp.cfg -> /opt/retropie/configs/gba/gpsp.cfg
          -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16384 Jul 13 15:44 raspberrypi
          -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 28 Jul 13 15:47 romdir.txt

          And when I go to /opt/retropie/configs/gba/ there isn't any file named gpsp.cfg.

          Cheers,
          Josh

            @Josh before i had lr-gpsp the only way i knew how to set the controls was in a game with a keyboard to setup the controls in the gpsp menu gui. And it sets up start and select as your exit buttons.

              Is that the only possible way @edmaul69? I would change to lr-gpsp but that doesn't launch the game at all and boots me back to the EmulationStation menu...

              Cheers,

                Not sure. I never was able to find another way. Do you have the gba bios in the bios folder? I am not home at the moment to see if there is a shortcut that lr-gpsp uses for the bios to point it to the bios folder. But i never had the gba bios in the bios folder when i used the standalone bios. Had to get it when i started using lr-gpsp. So not sure where or if the standalone used it or not
