Can't exit out of games to main menu or save games

But @sirdevin I can get you editing that text file. Just know what you're doing! :-)

@CodeDrawer Awesome thanks for those links. I could just use my Cooler Master V8 and throw some thermal paste on there and call it good haha XD

I don't think I have any heat sinks laying around that would fit that. That may be a project for a later date once I've gotten some of the other parts working as I def do not want to burn out my Raspberry Pi.

I'm assuming I can just edit the text file with Notepad++ or something right?

@sirdevin I was thinking you could use the pi from terminal! :-D

@CodeDrawer through PuTTY or something?

So what you do first is type

cd /

that brings you to the root directory.

then type sudo nano /boot/config.txt

then you will be using the text editor! :) That should be it. If there are any questions, let me know!

This solved my issues with being unable to exit NES games using an Xbox controller and the choppiness playing N64 games. Thanks!

I cannot exit out of games anymore, i upgraded, now nothing i do will allow me to exit out of games. I have a rp 3 b+, select + start used to work fine until after the update, now i have to type in a user name and pw, (pi, raspberry) and I can't exit from the games, any ideas? shortcuts? keyboard exits? I reconfigured controller, using select as the hotkey, and using the center "mode" button as the hotkey... nothing.

@CodeDrawer This was the ONLY thing that worked for me, I setup the keyboard as a controller and set the f12 as the hotkey with Return as the Start key, while inside a game, I pressed F12 and Return and it exited out. I could not get ANY controller to respond with a hotkey, only the keyboard.

@sirdevin ceramic heatsink for the pi is .99 cents on ebay.
