Zero delay encoder, cannot exit mame.

@dchurch24 The keys (Hotkey + Exit Button) are performing the hotkey action when assigned to P1, P2 cannot access the hotkey actions. You cannot press P1 Hotkey + P2 Action key to perform the action.
As for how to assign a single key to exit - disable the Hotkey and assign the 'Exit' action to a single button/key. But it also depends on what emulator are you using - which MAME emulator are you talking about ? Retroarch has this usually mapped to the ESC key when using a keyboard, but you can also set it to a button.

@mitu Hi, thanks for that.
As per the tags, I'm using MameLibretro.

I'm unsure what you mean when you say P2 cannot access the hotkey actions.
I did go through the Controller Config many times, but I don't remember seeing an "Exit" action.

@dchurch24 Oh. I also had a keyboard plugged in at certain points, and the [esc] button also didn't take us out of the game. In fact, I pressed every single key on the keyboard; nothing exited the game at all.

Which one ?

Only Player1 can invoke the Hotkeys, P2 cannot (i.e. open RGUI, exit, Save/Load state, etc.).

Under Settings -> Input -> Hotkey binds.

@mitu Ah. Sorry, my fault for not being clear. I meant that we assigned our "Player 1" button and "Player 2" button (on the same controller) to [Start] and [Hotkey] respectively.
I'm afraid I don't know...it's the latest version of RetroPie, so whichever version that pulls down from Git to install once Roms are in place.
The retroarch settings will be as they are out-of-the box, as I haven't touched them (or even viewed them - I get a bit confused as to what it is - You have RetroArch, RetroPie, EmulationStation and then finally the emulators themselves - it all seems a little over-complicated).

@dchurch24 My guess...from that list is: lr-mame2003

It only sees .zip files, and is using 0.78 romset.

OK, so when you configured the controller in Emulationstation, what did you choose as Hotkey ?

dchurch24

@mitu Our [Player 2] button.

mitu

@dchurch24 Re-map the controller and skip the 'Hotkey' assignment and it will prompt you to use Select as Hotkey - choose Yes/OK and then try again in-game to see if exiting works.

dchurch24

@mitu Ok, thanks. I'll do that when I get home later. Thank you for your time, truly appreciated.
