@sleve_mcdichael said in Escaping commands in script modules:

Is this right, though?

It is, because the filename globbing for * doesn't happen inside the quoted string:

$ ls "~/roms/nes/*" ls: cannot access 'roms/nes/*': No such file or directory # tries to list a file named '*' $ ls "~/roms/nes/"* roms/nes/240pee.nes roms/nes/game1.zip ... # filename expansion happens normally

@Cybrasty It worked! I followed the info in the post from @caver01 and it worked like a charm. Hotkeys disabled, and I now have a dedicated EXIT button that gets me out of games in advmame1.4, mame2003, and PSX.

Righto - I've gone ahead with a work-around solution. I mapped ESC to both "enable hotkey" and "exit retroarch" so that a single button-press will do both. I don't need the hotkey to do coin-drop, so it's win-win.

Guess I ought to solder some buttons on for those coin drops as well as TAB, huh? Anyhow, case closed!

@Kristopherson05 That's not what you asked. You asked this:

is there anyway to make my joystick and buttons the arrow keys and escape button?

One solution is to use an Ipac2 keyboard decoder. You have not provided enough information (again) https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first
