      Ive searched the forums a few times, and have only come across posts discussing how to change the keybindings via auto-configs for different controllers.

      What I would like to do is have multiple controllers be able to hotkey/exit within a game. My use case is a bit odd, and that is probably why this may not be a feature -- my controller is across the room (long USB) and using MAME's key bindings for multiple devices it is working in the game, but its not considered the primary input, hence, not hotkey

      Ive found brief reference to this config

      iniSet "all_users_control_menu" "true"
      

      https://pow.gs/mirror/RetroPie-Setup/commit/18ba900157b9a55ace44aee5033d019d17837441?view=parallel&w=1

      But that doesnt seem to be what Im looking for, and there are many conflicting posts about if it actually broke and is no longer supported. Again, vague references.

      Any help would be appreciated

        In RetroArch, only the P1 controller can use the hotkeys - and therefore exit the game.
        See https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/7818 or https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/3337.

          Thanks @mitu .. Found at least one of those as well -- those are dating back quite some time, hence why I wanted to ask if was a possibility. Ill figure some workaround - -
