Flycast hotkeys for retroarch

[jambo069]

Bit of a strange one.

At present my select and start buttons (or my select and X buttons) opens up the retroarch menu is any lr emulator.

However, lr-flycast seems to not want to follow suit and instead instantly closes the emulator when i press select.

Have tried lots of combinations but can't get the retroarch menu to open when playing - which I need to do so tweak the controls (a,b and X,y are swapped)

Any advice?

RetroPie configures Hotkey + Start as an exit command for any libretro core, you configuration seems to do the opposite. This makes me think you've either manually configured RetroArch and/or you have enabled 'Save on Exit' for the configuration and flycast has retained the original - RetroPie default - bindings.

You haven't added any info about your setup - as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - what kind of controller are you using ?

So should I just delete the retroarch cfg and see how it goes?

Controller is a third party geotek vx3 wireless PS3 controller.

Other than that, all official pi setup. Retropie image the latest from official website

Rename the retroarch.cfg from the dreamcast system (/opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast) and then immediately re-install lr-flycast, this will re-create the default configuration for the system.
