      @mitu Ok! After working on this for literally almost a year I finally figured it out!!! So for anyone that is having this problem in the future here is the solution.
      When you are in emulation station, open up the retropie menu and go to retropie setup. Once it opens, go to “Configuration / Tools”, then find the file called configedit, it should be file 200. Click “Configure basic libretro emulator options”, then “Configure default options for all libretro emulators”, then click “Choose joypad order”. Then play around with which joystick is listed as player 1. You need to set your player one joystick to be listed as player 1 in order for the Start+Select hotkey to work. I’m assuming this works with controllers as well. Hopefully I can be one of those forum legends that helps someone with the same problem 8 years later lol. Anyways, thank you mitu for the help!

        In other words, your P1 was on another joystick than what you thought it was.

          @mitu Actually it still wasn’t working properly turns out that was only part of the problem. Apparently my retroarch hotkey configs weren’t saving when I quit retroarch so Start+Select wasn’t even set to be the exit emulator buttons. However after enabling “Save configuration on quit”. My settings saved and now it is working fine and dandy!
