Using a second controller for the hot key
-
Hey all,
I use a USB SNES controller, which has been great so far but with some games I need the pause button (which I usually map as the hotkey)
I have no spare buttons - is it possible to map a keyboard key as the hotkey, but continue to use the SNES controller for control?
When I map the input controller buttons for the controller and get to hotkey, it doesn't recognize the keyboard input
Hope someone can help - my favorite games await me!

Note: it's a wireless keyboard, but I have no issue typing when scraping

You cannot map inputs from 2 separate input devices in EmulationStation, each one should be mapped separately. Try mapping your keyboard as well - separately from your SNES gamepad - and choose a hotkey there.
TAhis works because your 2nd device is a keyboard and it works as P1 (just as your gampead), otherwise you wouldn't be able to use a 2nd controller for hotkey - only P1 has hotkey control.
