      Is there a way that i can change the shader or render-mode with the controllerso that i can switch directly in every emulator?(Using RP 3b and RetroPie 3.8.1) I really can´t even find how to do it, just found some older tutorials for retroArch but is there a way to do without going into retroArch? Because the last time i followed a tutorial i bricked my controller configuration, cause the tutorial was for an old version. And just can´t find how i get it to work (maybe i am using the wrong google words). Would apreciate if anyone can help.

        You can change the shader using your controller by assigning hotkeys.

        In your controller file (/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/{controller-file} you would add these lines inserting the button code for the button you want to have that hotkey function.

        input_shader_next_btn = ""
        input_shader_prev_btn = ""
        

        Or you could just tweak it on a per system basis here:

        Please read the Docs before asking a new question.

          thx, worked perfectly... just changed the config of my controller in the path you have written with these two lines and used the buttons for pushing left and right (plus the standard hotkey "select" of course.
