Hotkey Enable does not work on 4.4.2

@mitu just the default select + other buttons but it won't work never had this issue with retropie and I've been using retropie since 2015 it's very frustrating

@1219chicho Just remap your controller - re-do the input configuration - and skip the Hokey assignment. The configuration dialog will ask you if you want to use 'Select' as Hotkey and choose yes. Test after this and see if it works.

@mitu yes I did that multiple times I do know how to set the hotkey in configure input but it's not working at all

mitu

@1219chicho I see. So using Select + Start does not exit the emulator ? Does Select + X not bring up the RGUI ?
What version did you have before the update ?

@mitu strangely select doesnt work on other controllers for me. I had to map hotkey to the globe on 360 controller and ps button on the ps3 controller. I dont have an 8bitdo anymore to test.

@edmaul69 Yesterday on my Pi3 B+ after updating Retropie ( was 4.4) + Kernel (thru Retropie's update menu) I got two nice issues:

the known kernel related "login issue" (unfortunately I found out after updating). Found workaround in the forum.
ALL controllers (pads and keyboards) messed up in Libretro cores but working in ES and other (e.g. Advancemame). A reset of Retroarch controllers and reconfiguring them in ES solved everything. Maybe you can try this.

I'm having an issue with not being able to re bind the hotkey... not sure if it's related?

1219chicho

@mattyl42 yes it's really annoying because I cannot enjoy my games

1219chicho

@mitu yes that's correct and the version I had before im guessing was 4.3 because I always update my retropie gets fairly used

@udb23 how would I reset the retroarch config if you can guide me?

mitu

@1219chicho Use the RetroPie-Setup script, go to the main package page, open Emulationstation and you should have an entry to reset your controller configuration. After performing this step, restart ES and it should ask you to configure the controller.

@udb23 fresh install so i cant really do a retroarch reset.

Yeah I've put soooo much work into my cabinet controls I can't do that. My hoy key is at least working I just can't change it. This will be a nightmare if you mess it up and get it stuck on the wrong button
