RetroPie 4 Controller Configuration

Hello everybody,
is there a possibility of combining 2 buttons in the input of the RetroPIe 4? I use a standard gamepad with 12 buttons.

You'll have to explain better what you want to achieve.

I would like to combine 2 buttons on my gamepad in such a way that when I press 2 the buttons together the hotkey button reacts. In the Retropie Input menu or alternatively in the

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig

file.

Is that possible?

You can choose a hotkey enable button when you configure your gamepad and this will set it also in RetroArch so you can trigger an action with 2 button combos - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Controller-Configuration/#hotkey.
However, this is an emulator feature (RetroArch) and not a global/general input configuration option that will work in any program (including EmulationStation).
