Odyssey/VIdeopac Controller Player 1 doesn't work

Ok, I added that command to the bottom of the retroarch.cfg file. However, pressing the 'ctrl' key doesnt allow me to exit from the Videopac emulator. I am only using the one joystick. Does this require a 2nd joystick for this to work? Thanks for your patience with me.

@tigerinatlanta Hi, try with CTRL + ESC, after adding "input_enable_hotkey = "ctrl" in each CFG file you have created.

@tigerinatlanta what the guy above me said. you need to have both exit and hotkey active and remove the "#" in front of them

Thanks @edmaul69 @herb_fargus @turk182 .. That did the trick.. You guys rock!!!

@tigerinatlanta also just fyi you can easily set the hotkeys through the setup script to alt rather than having to edit the files manually.

Hi all,

Could you please advise how to set up o2em in Retropie to play with keyboard? I do not have a joystick/controller and with the advice given in the posts above although revealing I have gain insight but not been able to properly configure retroarch setttings to change joystick 2 for 1 in keyboard mode so as to play any Videopac game. Retroarch seems to be so powerful it takes me a great effort to understand what settings must be tweaked. Therefore, any sort of advice would be welcome.

Thank you in advance for your kind support!

PS. I have had some success:

Retropie > Retroarch > Settings > Input > Input User 2 Binds
Configure basic up,down,left,right,b

Then, back and back, to main menu. Then Configuration > Save Current Configurations
retroarch.cfg is saved

Player 2 is enabled and games can be played! Sure, this is sloppy option and there must a much better way to do the config but alas! it works!

Please, kindly submit your suggestions for a better configuration. It is highly appreciated.

Regards to all,
