      I had the idea to bind:
      Select + DPad Down = Eject/Close tray
      Select + DPad Left = Previous disc
      Select + DPad Right = Next disc

      However, Select + DPad Right or Left is autoconfigured to be Previous/Next Save State Slot.

      How to edit autoconfig so each time I configure a controller through emulationstation, it automatically binds Select + DPad Left/Right only to Previous/Next disc ?

      Thanks in advance!

        EDIT: What I did in the end is add this lines in /opt/retroarch/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg

        input_disk_eject_toggle_btn = "h0down"
        input_disk_next_btn = "h0right"
        input_disk_prev_btn = "h0left"
        

        and, as a workaround, also:

        input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "99"
        input_state_slot_increase_btn = "99"
        

        (Defining those two on nul, "nul", null, "null", "" or nothing at all resulted in it being the "0" button)

        My question now is:
        Is there going to be any problem in the future for me by binding state slot -/+ to "99"? (Any of my controllers have a "99" button).

          No likely, since updates will not overwrite the file you modified.
          As an alternative solution, you can disable the joypad auto-configuration performed by EmulationStation and modify your gamepad auto-config profile in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads to set your own hotkeys.
