      I know recalbox has this and i know how to manually change the config files, but it would be nice to have the option to select your hot key button instead of it always being select. With it being select it does interfere with some games where i having to remap select for those few games when i run across them.

        @lostless This is planned - I actually started on it already, but I got sidetracked on some other tasks.

          @BuZz I don't use retropie, and maybe this is a stupid question, but... it can't be done in the retroarch quick menu?

            It can... but generally speaking using the RetroArch quick menu breaks the process defined in the Retropie wiki for updating configs. Doing this can lead to a lot of confusion and undesired behavior. Basically it will overwrite the existing config file for that emulator and from then on the emulator will not include the ALL config file.

            Again, not such a bad thing if you actually want it to do that... but from then on you can no longer follow any of the wiki instructions for updating the config for that emulator.

            I believe the AutoConfig file also has the hotkey button info in it. Again, you can save autoconfig from RetroArch, and again this will lead to more problems if you don't understand the implications.
