Map "Logitech" button on F710 directly to RGUI menu?

silver

I have a Logitech F710 with a "Logitech" button running in Xinput mode.

Is there any way to configure is so that when I press this button (and only this button) I get the RetroArch in-game menu? I don't want to remember a button combination.

The best alternative I thought I could get would be Logitech+X so I followed these instructions and edited the value of input_enable_hotkey_btn - however none of my hotkey combinations work.

You could unbind the "Enable Hotkeys" hotkey along with every single other hotkey, then bind the "Logitech" button to input_menu_toggle_btn which should be input_menu_toggle_btn = "10" (that's what it is on my F310). That's the only way to achieve what you want.

Fantastic! Thank you!

It wasn't helped by the fact that I got my button number wrong (oops!).

In case anyone else stumbles across this post, edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Logitech Gamepad F710.cfg, remove the line starting input_enable_hotkey_btn and edit the number for input_menu_toggle_btn so it matches that of the Logitech button.

(Edit: You need to do more than this, see later post)

Use jstest /dev/input/js0 to get the right button number for the Logitech button. Mine was actually 8 and not 10 as I originally put.

@silver I hope you unbound all the other hotkeys as well since those will all now activate when you press the button they are assigned to and make playing games impossible.

No I didn't and just as you wrote this I was thinking to myself "why is my save state changing in-game?".

Is there any easy way to disable them all? Or do I have to just walk through the config file and rip them out manually?

You'll have to do the same thing you did with input_enable_hotkey_btn.

Brill, thanks very much!

So I removed the following lines from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/Logitech Gamepad F710.cfg:

input_load_state_btn = "4"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "7"
input_save_state_btn = "5"
input_state_slot_increase_btn = "h0right"
input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "h0left"
input_reset_btn = "0"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"

and then made sure that that the next line was correctly mapped to my Logitech button (in my case 8):

input_menu_toggle_btn = "8"

A quick test suggests that it's working great :)
