In game glitch custom arcade buttons.

Thomas_N

You were right, there was no button configured to the hotkey in the overall retroarch.cfg file. I have configured one now, but nothing seems to have changed.
I only use the hotkey to exit out of games (hotkey + start + select), so that is the only way I have tested it.
Any more ideas?

Can you try adding it just like in the config file - input_enable_hotkey_btn ?

If that doesn't work, can you post a log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) of your game run taken with verbose logging from the Runcommand menu enabled ? Put it on pastebin.com, it should be quite large.
Also, post your retroarch.cfg, both the one from /opt/retropie/configs/all and the one in /opt/retropie/configs/arcade.

@mitu
Changing " # input_enable_hotkey_btn = " to " input_enable_hotkey_btn = "c" " dit not work. Could you explane to me how I can get my hands on the " /dev/shm/runcommand.log " file? Can I get it via SSH?

Can I get it via SSH?

Yes, it's available only through SSH and not via file shares, so you'll need WinSCP installed and SSH enabled.

I have put the runcommand.log file and both retroarch.cfg files on pastebin with the names "runcommand.log-muti", "retroarch.cfg-(snes)-muti" and "retroarch.cfg-(all)-muti".
Sorry they all say "muti", I red your name wrong...

mitu

@Thomas_N It would be easier to just post the URLs to those logs...

Here you go.

I see in both .cfg file you have input_enable_hotkey = "c", but your snes config file is much larger than it should be - you probably enabled 'Save Config on Exit' in RGUI or saved the configuration file from within the RGUI. The recommended way to save configuration is to use 'Core Input Remapping' from the RGUI (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#core-input-remapping).

Start from scratch with the snes stock retroarch.cfg

# Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/snes/"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

and add only the things you need.

Since you already enabled the hotkey in the global retroarch.cfg file, there's no need to add it again on the snes system.

@mitu
If I delete the snes cfg file, will it break everything or will It make a clean new one?

mitu

@Thomas_N Don't delete it, just replace its contents with text I pasted in my previous reply. It will not be automatically re-created.

Thomas_N

@mitu Okay I've replaced everything in the snes retroarch.cfg file with what you said, everything still works but the hotkey still doesn't. It doesn't seem like anything has changed...
