      @dudleydes Yes that is what is written in the config file.

      I've been experimenting with the .uae configs and I've discovered that while they are deleted games no longer are able to use extra buttons on the joypad e.g. Xenon's transform button (space bar). Also that I cannot seen to effect any change that is picked up after I exit, including fullscreen mode.

      I think that the setup for games is held in the file /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/whdboot/hostprefs.conf In that file quit, menu and reset are all set to true. They are preceded by a semi colon, what does that mean? I tried it with the semi-colon deleted but it made no change.

      Also changed the thread title to reflect my current issue.

      Currently running:
      Retropie 4.8.9 on a Pi Zero 2W (Overclock Settings: CPU 1400Mhz)
      ES-DE on a GMKtec K6 (Windows 11, 32GB RAM)

        *Temporary Fix *

        Well I finally got to the bottom of this. Amiberry does not register when button 15 (select) or 16 (xbox) are pressed on an Xbox One 2016 Bluetooth pad (maybe some other Xbox pads as well). The short term solution is to assign the Hotkey to another button that is not used in Amiga emulation e.g. 14 (right analogue press).

        Is it possible to make a dedicated Amiberry joypad config file in Retorarch that only Amiberry will pick up on. While I'm at it could I do the same for other emulators such as LR PCSX Rearmed?

        Thanks to Horaceandthespider at Github for help in resolving this.
