      Konichiwa!

      I'm having trouble with my arcade cabinet because I want my 2nd controller to have the option to reset/exit a game.

      Right now, I can only exit a game through player 1 controller.

      Is this possible?

      all users control menu = true

      Any help is much appreciated :)

      Thanks guys!

        @granderjoree No, only P1 can control the hotkeys - and exit the game. It's a Retroarch feature/limitation.

          @mitu Thanks for the reply.

          Can I assign 2 buttons to do the same task?

            @granderjoree Doesn't it work like this now (P1 Hotkey + Start exits the emulator/game) ? You'll need to give more details about your system - controller, RP version, etc. - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

              Rpi Model B+ / DS PS3 Controllers / Running latest version of Retroarch/Retropie.

              Right, sorry for the lack of info. Right now it's Hotkey + Start to exit the game, but can I make it --

              Hotkey + Start = Exit (existing)
              and
              Hotkey + Select = Exit

              Is this possible?

              Thanks for the quick reply!

                @granderjoree I don't think that's possible either. The input_exit_emulator_btn can only have one value.
