Set hotkey as exit, can't get to RGUI anymore
-
I did something stupid. I accidentally set the hotkey bind for exiting a game to the select button instead of start, so now I effectively have no hotkey combinations anymore, because pressing select immediately exits back to Emulationstation.
I tried editing
configs/all/retroarch.cfg
, changinginput_exit_emulator_btn
from "nul" to "8" (my start button), but it didn't take. (I kind of expected that, because the retroarcg.cfg.bak also didn't have that entry)Changing stuff around in
configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig
also didn't do anything.How can I rectify this mistake, or at least find my way back into RGUI to do so?
-
Why don't you re-configure your controller again in EmulationStation ?
-
Just tried that, but still hotkey alone exits a game, no way to get to RGUI...
-
What did you choose as Hotkey ?
-
@mitu 'select' again. Should I have chosen another? It doesn't seem to matter if I do. The 'new' hotkey doesn't work, and 'select' still exits a game on its own. It's like Emulationstation has its own button setup next to Retroarch, hotkey-wise.
-
@WeirdH What happens if you just skip the hotkey and you choose 'Use select' when the input configuration menu asks ? Did you disable the auto-configuration for RetroArch from EmulationStation ?

Nothing, same behaviour.
Did you disable the auto-configuration for RetroArch from EmulationStation ?
I don't know how to do that, so probably not?
Going into
/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch
and launching the standalone Retroarch to change the hotkey also didn't take. -

It's one of the options of the EmulationStation package.
Going into /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch and launching the standalone Retroarch to change the hotkey also didn't take.
Why would it work like this ?
Can you post your
retroarch.cfg
- use pastebin.com. Can you also check in the/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads
and see if your gamepad configuration file is updated recently ? -

I don't know, I figured Retroarch is Retroarch, no matter where you start it from. I'm not very knowledgable about all this.
Can you post your
retroarch.cfg
- use pastebin.com.This is the one from
configs/all
. Is that the right one? I have already tried renaming it to fake its absence, but nothing changed.Can you also check in the
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads
and see if your gamepad configuration file is updated recently ?It is. About ten minutes ago, when I reconfigured in Emulationstation.

Okay, fixed it... I checked the retroarch.cfg located in
/opt/retropie/configs/arcade
and that was the one with the wrong setting.both 'hotkey' and 'exit' were set to "9", so I changed it back.

No.

I see that the path to the auto-configuration is ok, should point to your joypad auto-configuration folder. I see that the hotkey is marked as
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "9"
You can check what button corresponds to
9
by looking in the gamepad.cfg
file from the said auto-configuration folder. You can just paste the.cfg
file's contents here to take a look. -
@mitu Thanks for all your help and effort. I fixed it by checking a bunch of retroarch.cfg's. The one in 'configs/arcade' was at fault.
Makes sense, as I only use the arcade folder on my cab.
