That’s what I get for coding when tired! Thanks for the quick response. All is in fact working as intended... Thanks again

I have reset EmulationStation input configuration (Retropie Setup -> Configuration / tools -> emulationstation -> Clear / Reset Emulation Station input configuration), after all previous actions and everything now works as after fresh install.

Thanks @mitu .. Found at least one of those as well -- those are dating back quite some time, hence why I wanted to ask if was a possibility. Ill figure some workaround - -

@Clyde Thanks. And for anyone following up this question I was easily able to add audio volume control (via hotkey + D-pad up/down) to the config file mentioned earlier. Like this: input_volume_up_axis = ”” inside the quotation marks I copied the number for the up axis, which was -1 in my config file.

Just bumping my post. Still not sure what to do about the hotkey situation.

This guy here had the same problem and he found a way of making it work. Apparently the way to go is to configure retroarch to use a standard keyboard then swapping the real keyboard to the ipac. Over here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1722/if-you-have-purchased-an-ipac2-and-want-to-save-time

@Lugzyboy82 it should happend automaticly, once you configure the joysticks in emulationstation. i suggest you start by testing using jstest command, to see if the joysticks is reconized as gamepads or if it still thinks it is a keyboard.

@rkoster ty for tagging :)

@dankcushions Thank you for the reply. I figured it was something like that. What is the best way to delete all core overrides at once? Using the retoarch menu or by deleting a specific config file? Thanks for your help.

@Felixoid said in Cannot configure 8BitDo M30 controller shoulder buttons: @psyke83 Hello. I've built a binary from the master, but the shoulders still don't work on the M30 pad. Could you tell if they already should work? It should work on the latest dev branch, yes. Is your controller definitely using axes 2 & 5 for triggers (considering differences in firmware/pairing mode)? Note that the axis filtering is done only when defining the trigger buttons, so if you're doing non-standard mapping to buttons other than the triggers, it won't work.

@mitu It does actually makes sense. Thanks for the advice!

@granderjoree Looking at the Carbon theme, I think it's enough to create another folder with the collection name, with the same structure as a system folder.- For instance, copy the snes folder from the theme folder to your collection name folder (i.e. megaman), then modify the art (.svg) files inside the art subfolder with the images you want.

@mitu said in retroarch configs..: config_save_on_exit = false that was it - thank you!

@roycebryan You can certainly do that (using a cfg file for each ROM). Using the Core input mapping and creating an remap per game would be similar - the config file would saved in the RetroArch overrides folder.

@mikeylikesit33 said in RetroArch GUI on my Hotkey?: No idea what was wrong, as the CFG's were still all the same as before I upgraded my Retropie per Ultraedit File Compares... but there was something funky somewhere. As glad as I am for you that your problem is solved, the nuclear way of solving it made sure that neither you nor we may learn what caused it.

The digital speed settings were key (overriding the default values of "10"). Your settings may vary. The digital speed settings should not affect analog controls like trackpads. There is no sensitivity for all games, each needs to be set according to the encoder wheel used in each machine. Information here on finding the sensitivity value needed for each game: https://web.archive.org/web/20160421175734/http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Spinner_Turn_Count

@playgamemy said in PSX configuration "save on exit" or "save configuration" not working: Are there configuration file for retroarch that specify where configuration files should be saved? RetroPie uses the 'stock' settings - ~/.config/retroarch for game overrides and control remaps. It's not advisable to save the settings directly since it will save them over the core's config file (see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#config-hierarchy). If you want to edit the 'global' RetroArch config file, then add your options to the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg file.

@barbudreadmon Well then the community owes you a big thanks for your time and effort buddy! I appreciate the offer, but I don't wanna put anymore on your plate, plus I have an alternate solution, and lastly, I don't have a github account anyway haha. If you think its still worth to track and eventually fix though, I'll create a github account and add the issue in there.
