Hotkey not working correctly
-
I tried renaming my configs/all/retroarch.cfg file, rebooting the retropie, starting an emulator, and trying again, thinking that a fresh retroarch.cfg file would be created and fix the problem...no effect.
bad move. retroarch.cfg is customised by retropie. you don’t want one that retroarch has generated. you need to undo that change.
do that, then
Choose Manage Packages.
Choose Manage Core Packages.
Choose emulationstation (Installed)
Choose Configurations / Options (it may also be named Configurations Tools)
Choose the option to Clear/Reset Emulation Station input configuration.
Choose Yes to proceed to clear the controller settings.now when you reboot you will be able to rebind your controller, hotkey and all.

@dankcushions Oh, I already undid that change. That's why I renamed the file rather than deleted it. That way, can just rename it back.
-
@dankcushions I thank you for the suggestion, but it did not have the desired effect. The hotkey by itself is still acting as if I pressed hotkey + x.

@Amishgamer please upload your /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg, and a verbose log as per https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@dankcushions Here is my retroarch.cfg file. The verbose will come later when I have a couple of minutes to sit down with my Retropie

@dankcushions Well, I attempted to get you the verbose logs, and I discovered another symptom...when launching any emulator now, when I try to hit A to get the run command menu, I get no response; just goes right into the game as if I hadn't pressed anything. Very frustrating.

that looks like you’ve saved over the retroarch.cfg that retropie provides as it should be much shorter. however i don’t see anything that causes your problem at a glance. the verbose log should help.

@dankcushions Did that, no effect. I'll google to see how else I can get a verbose log, but last time I didn't see anything.
