      Hello,

      I built an Arcade Running a Raspberry Pi 3b+/Retropie. This is a 2 Player Setup. I originally ran cheap Amazon buttons and encoders. It was plug and play and worked perfectly.

      I recently upgraded the buttons and joysticks running off of an IPAC2. This was done 7/10/2020 and the Ipac has the latest firmware allowing me to easily put in dual gamepad mode (Dinput) as opposed to being recognized as a keyboard.

      I plugged it up, Retropie recognized two new gamepads and everything works pretty well. I went ahead and cleared all previous configs before setting new controllers up.

      The issue I'm having in all consoles (SNES, NES, MAME, etc). Is my Select/Coin (Hotkey) + Start to exit game. My cheap encoder board worked perfectly, however the Ipac doesn't. Sometimes it will exit the game first try and other times I have to hit select + start several times until it exits the game. We make it work but it bothers me.

      Any thoughts?

        @zrs6v4 Try testing the hotkey combo with jstest and see if the buttons register ok when pressed at the same time.
