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

            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.

                    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.
