Proper way to set FastForward HotKey as default.

[muehltime]

I would like to set my right trigger to be the default fast-forward toggle when used in combination with my hotkey. (I use it in sega-cd games)

I have a wired Xbox controller. Hotkey is the Xbox button.

I have been successful at making right trigger the the FF toggle by (1) launching a sega-cd game (2) bringing up RetroArch GUI (3) Setting FF to right trigger, which returns button as 7.

I believe I can make this the default if I go into the retroarch.cfg files

I have tried adding
input_toggle_fast_forward = 7
as well as
input_toggle_fast_forward = "7"

to both the /all/retroarch.cfg
and the /segacd/retroarch.cfg

However, when I launch a game. It seems I still need to go into the GUI after launching the game and change it from there.

@muehltime Have you tried input_toggle_fast_forward_btn = "7"?

@dudleydes got it to work!

I added input_toggle_fast_forward_btn = "7"
but not to the retroarch.cfg 's

I added it to
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads

then the .cfg for the joypad, which is " Mad Catz Xbox 360 Controller.cfg "

now right trigger works as FF when combined with hot key for all libtretro systems.

thanks for the help
