      I read a lot of forums and they were all confusing and not helpful, I have a PS4 controller and everything works well but when i try to save R-Shoulder+SELECT nothing happens and when I try to exit with SELECT+START nothing happens. I tried SELECT+START+A+B and I got a black screen until I let go. I heard that if I unplug the Retro Pie to turn off because I cant exit it can and or will damage it and I am stuck. Some one please help me, thanks.

        @flamingflareon You're fine just shutting down the PI with unplugging, just make sure you don't do this every time.
        You probably configured your controller to use a dedicated Hotkey button, and that button is used instead of Select. Re-map your controller, skip the Hotkey assignment and you'll be asked to use the Select button. Confirm this and then re-try to see if it works.

            No. But you're free to use the forums, just like in the this topic, and someone might be able to help you. Could be me, could be someone else :)

                    @flamingflareon Have you mapped the R1 button correctly ? You can save pressing Select+X, then using 'Save'.

                        @flamingflareon Here you go: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/, scroll down and you'll see a proper mapping for a PS style controller.

                            @flamingflareon Are you able to save from the RGUI ? You can save pressing Select+X, then using Save State. Does this work ? If it does not, then take a moment and give more details about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first
