Issue with hotkeys for Wii U Pro controller
-
@ogbuehi even then many people have lots of issues after editing in retroarch. If you mess up something in the controllers config file, which is not likely, just resetup your controller in emulationstation again.
-
@ogbuehi also editing the controls in retroarch means no other controller will work correctly in retroarch. Its best to fix the problem where the problem is instead of using a bandaid that now limits you.

@edmaul69 Editing options in the Retroarch GUI shouldn't cause most people grief. It's pretty straightforward and if you mess up, you just go back in and set the button you intended to press.
Messing with the config file is fine, but you have to know the command prompt text to enter and navigate to the config file. -
@ogbuehi like i said in my last post, you want to fix the problem where the problem is, instead of now limiting yourself to now one type of controller.

@edmaul69 I'm confused. The OP is trying to fix the hotkey setup with his WiiU pro controller. Going into the Retroarch GUI is where the problem is. Editing that menu would set up hotkeys for his controller. And he only has one controller. I don't think he's worried about setup for controllers he doesn't have. And I don't know if you'd really need to setup hotkeys for every controller you connected.
-
@ogbuehi how do you know he doesnt have other controllers or doesnt plan on using other controllers in the future? The problem isnt inside retroarch. Its in the individual controller config file used by retroarch. If you fix the individual controller config where the problem really is, you arent crippling yourself from being able to use the autoconfig function.
-
@ogbuehi also you do need the hotkey for every controller you use. If you only have the hotkey for the wii u controller, but you decide to us another controller like say a ps3 controller instead, how do you plan on exiting a game?
-
@ogbuehi if you want to use an xbox controller, set it up exactly like a wii controller. Then open up /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_input.cfg and under the xbox controllers setting, and just swap a & b with each other. And swap x & y with each other.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I have many controllers, but the Wii U Pro is by far my favorite. Had issues with Drastic and random button presses. Got a bluetooth adapter online for about $13. It was a pain to set up, but finally got it working. So far, appears to be flawless.
So, I never saw what I was really interested in originally. If I want to set up the hotkeys to match up with the "default" hotkeys, what would that look like? I didn't see any examples of how to set up multiple key presses into a single binding. After removing and re-adding my Wii U Pro controller because of the new bluetooth adapter, I will have to set it up again, which reminded me about this thread.
Thank you for all the responses so far.

Geez, I just put it together. "Select" is the default hotkey button. I can set this up myself I think. Sorry for the silly questions.
