Help ! Commands / Input pb

[kokobowl]

Hello,
I use a Picade. I configured it and MAME was working perfectly.
I configured also another gamePad to test N64 games. I disconnected
the gamePad and reconfigured the input. But now, I've got a pb. When
I use DOWN + B button (linked to DOWN + left Ctrl according the settings), it
displays a "Reinitialisation" message or "Save slot 1". And I cannot reinit the first configuration. Moreover, my SELECT+START combination to exit MAME doesn't work anymore...
It seems to be a global setting because the same behavior exists into Game&Watch games and GBA games....
So, is this any file to delete to perform a fresh retroarch configuration for MAME ?
Thank you

@kokobowl said in Help ! Command in MAME pb:

I configured also another gamePad to test N64 games. I disconnected

How did you configure the N64 gamepad ?

[kokobowl]

@mitu I configured a XBOX 360 pad (EasySMX). But I disconnected it and I reconfigured the Picade joystick.

This post is deleted!

[kokobowl]

The file I edited is

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

@mitu Down + Left Ctrl executes a RESET...

[mitu]

Copy the default .cfg from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist over /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and your edits will be removed.
You can configure your gamepad from EmulationStation - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Controller-Configuration/ - without editing configuration files or using RetroArch's RGUI. This is the recommended method in RetroPie.

So, when I play 1942, START is known as "Start record video". I launched the Emulstation Input configuration and the problem is away ! Thank you. Now, just another stupid question, when I recorded the Hotkey key, I pressed ESC instead of a key combinaison (ESC + RETURN or START + SELECT). Is this a method to do it without restarting the procedure ?
Thank you !

[mitu]

The 'Hotkey' is a single key, not a combination. It can be used in combination with other keys to trigger the 'hotkey actions/combinations'. See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Controller-Configuration/#hotkey.

@mitu I need to read a lot of documentation. Thank you !
