@mitu Everything that is mapped to my controller works if Game Focus is turned off. Problem is now with 1.9.4. the keyboard doesn't work until Game Focus is turned on. Once Game Focus is on, I loose all the mappings, I can't even open the Retroarch menu. What was the need for the change. Before this version, I never saw this happen.

It doesn't effect any games that do not use a keyboard until you get to Amiga, A800, AtariST and DOSbox-pure.

I don't know a way around this without plugging in a true USB keyboard that has a scroll-lock key. My BT unit doesn't have one. I opened the retroarch.cfg and tried to remap the Game Focus key to another key, but it keeps automatically reverting back to scroll-lock as the entry.

I've deleted Retroarch and reloaded it by source thinking maybe some file is still hanging around from a previous build, but it didn't change anything.

I'm not sure what else to do with this other than buy a new, portable BT keyboard that has a scroll-lock key on it.

Update....nevermind... I found this on reddit and see there is a way to reassign the on/off toggle. I set mine to page-up key. All good.

Works fine. Now I can toggle it on and off and use both the hotkeys and keyboard as needed. Works great.

Thanks again.

@folly Thinking about it, is it possible it might work on other cores? Is it a functionality all the lr cores share?

@tpr Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Please start a new topic providing details of set up and which emulator you are using - there are multiple scummvm packages in RetroPie.

@mitu Welp, that was easy! thanks! :D

@garfee If you are using lr-fuse, then it is possible to map key presses to a joypad in the RGUI. More info at: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/ZX-Spectrum/#joypad-to-keyboard-mapping

If I do sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade it also locks up doing the upgrade. But I was able to both of these in Raspbian and Raspbian lite.

@ncc74656m Unfortunately, I did not.
