Hotkeys such as select+start don't work any more.

[bshogeman]

I could not find why all hotkeys such as exit a game with select+start didn't work anymore. After reinstalling retropie finally as last resort I now know why. I must not touch the menu item retropie -> retroarch. Don't update anything within that app. After updating the hotkeys don't work anymore. Can anyone tell me what files to delete, replace, recover to fix this problem without reinstalling everything again?

To be more precise about the danger of this "app": Do NOT enable "Save Configuration on Exit".

Look for the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist files and replace the retroarch.cfg files with those.

Example:

mv /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
mv /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg
mv /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg
# repeat it for other systems
