It looks like you might currently have, or at one time had 'save on exit' set in RetroArch.

Try pasting:

Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/snes/"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

into /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg
Then paste:

Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/nes/"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

into /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg
Then paste:

Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

into /opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/retroarch.cfg

Ok, I'll give this a try and report back. Thanks!

Ok, copied and pasted into the appropriate retroarch.cfg files, but still no luck with the hotkeys :(

@WetpantsMcGee

Now post the contents of /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg as well as your particular controller config located at /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/ and let's see what shows up there.

Also, open up the retroarch.cfg file for whatever system you just tested to see if what you pasted is still there.

I checked the udev folder under /op/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/ and it is empty :( So I am lacking a .cfg for my particular controller.

@WetpantsMcGee

Try re-configuring your controller through Emulation Station and check to see if it is created at that location.

@mediamogul Looks like that did it! I had tried reconfiguring it before but to no avail. Just tested it on all systems and I have menu access and can exit to ES!

Thanks so much! I feel so much better now.

Good to hear. Welcome to the forums btw.
