      i know you get this alot but i changed everything i can think of. my usb 6 button genesis controller isnt registering i changed to the 3 to 6 button and changed the inputs to 513 and nothing. i cant get to the quick menu because theres no select button and when i push a theres no option for the controller. HOW DO I GET THE C BUTTON AND Z BUTTON. its driving completely insane i cant figure it out!

        @arj5193 If you're in Emulationstation, press Start to get to the menu and you'll be able to choose 'Input' from there. Unless you left out the Start key from the input mapping ...

          @arj5193 setup the controller in emulationstation. hit the mode button when it asks for select and hotkey. remove the 513 setting. not sure where you got that number from.

                @arj5193 it isnt done that way anymore. Set your device back to default. The mode button doesnt work either. You have to go into retroarch gui while in a game and then go into quick menu, options. In there you change it from 3-6 button controller or auto.

                    @arj5193 once you get into the game press your hotkey & X at the same time.
