      Hello !

      On my controler, I have a physical EXIT button.
      I can exit emulators by pressing SELECT and START, but is there a way to map my EXIT button to replace SELECT+START ?

      Kind regards :)

        In the RetroArch rgui, if you map your exit key to "Quit retroarch" and set "Enable hotkeys" to "null", the quit button will work on it's own without a modifyer. Just remember to manually remap the "start" function to another button and to set all the other hotkey input to "null" as well. Without hotkeys enabled, a single button press will activate any of the hotkey functions. You'll be giving up a lot of other functionality for this one ability, but it should work.

          Thank you for your answer.
          I already have considered this solution, but giving up other hotkeys is not ideal.
          No any other way to do?

            As far as I know, in Retroarch you can either disable hotkeys, have a one press hotkey or an enable hotkey button that you press in conjunction with a hotkey.
            You cant have one button work on its own, but others work with enable_hotkey.

            You could set a button to enable_hotkey as well as exit, but thats pointless as you wouldnt be able to use the other hotkeys before it quit.

            Please read the Docs before asking a new question.
