HELP I want to disable the hotkey + (X) setting

[sleve_mcdichael]

@iLouzze try editing the file with nano text editor. You'll either have to "escape" the spaces in the filename with back-slashes (\) before them, or wrap it in 'single' or "double-quotes":

nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/DragonRise\ Inc.\ \ \ Generic\ \ \ USB\ \ Joystick.cfg

...or:

nano "opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/DragonRise Inc.   Generic   USB  Joystick.cfg"

Note: one space, three spaces, three spaces, two spaces.

Use ctrl-s, ctrl-x to save and exit.

@sleve_mcdichael said in HELP I want to disable the hotkey + (X) setting:

nano "opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick.cfg"

ok, I'm in but it says that there's no directory

I already tried to write on it the thing below:

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"

input_exit_emulator_btn = "7"
input_reset_btn = "0"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "3"

#input_save_state_btn = "5"
#input_load_state_btn = "4"
#input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "h0left"
#input_state_slot_increase_btn = "h0right"

but when I click on save then it tells me this:

@iLouzze that's my bad, I missed the slash (/) before "opt". It should be:

nano "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/DragonRise Inc.   Generic   USB  Joystick.cfg"

@sleve_mcdichael does it must appear a black screen after I enter the code?
because when I access this happens:

I copied the code you wrote before on the black screen and added the hashtags before the functions that I didn't wanted, but they were still working when I tested them with the hotkey.

[sleve_mcdichael]

@iLouzze it shouldn't be blank, I would expect there to be some definitions in it already from the auto-configuration. Maybe that's not the right file name? Can you list the directory contents with:

ls -l /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig

...and post the output?

@iLouzze it's probably that one with, looks like two more spaces at the end, after Joystick and before .cfg. Try it with:

nano "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/DragonRise Inc.   Generic   USB  Joystick  .cfg"

@sleve_mcdichael
All right, it worked! The menu just appeared when I wrote your command and I was able to eliminate the configs I didn't wanted. Thank you so much for your help, I really don't know what'd I have done without it, thank you very very much :)

@sleve_mcdichael I have a little question, by any chance you know if there's a way to configure a time schedule in the raspberry so it turns on and off at a certain time of the day?

[sleve_mcdichael]

@iLouzze I don't know if there's any way to turn it on automatically without an external timer. You could probably set up a "cron job" to shut it down (I don't know how to do that, though, I have only heard of it as a way you can set up scheduled events.)
