Start + Select on USB SNES Controller not working

[BuZz]

Please can I see your other controller configuration also (the one which the hotkeys don't work on) - from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads

@BuZz

It's all good man. You can tell who is super helpful on here and you are one of them. I appreciate all that you are doing. I couldn't do this without the support of everyone on the forums.

I think I got slightly confused too. The topic for this issue is about my Start+Select. I realized you and I discussed this already and came to the conclusion it is about which controller I use to launch a game and that controller will have active hotkeys.

Half way through this topic I mentioned my Page up and Page down hotkeys are not working. THAT is when we switched this discussion and maybe things got confusing.

OKAY, so, I need your help getting the page up and page down functionality to work now.

My configs:
2 Player Xin-Mo: http://pastebin.com/1zdHiHaD
USB Snes Controllers: http://pastebin.com/egUNHy30
My etroarch.cfg: http://pastebin.com/HTWaqzSK
My es_input.cfg: http://pastebin.com/NEQvnAyp

The es_input.cfg is incorrect - did you edit it manually at any point from the es_temporaryinput.cfg ? as they use different attributes.

Anyway, the leftbottom / rightbottom should be changed to pagedown / pageup

eg

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<inputList>
  <inputAction type="onfinish">
    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/scripts/inputconfiguration.sh</command>
  </inputAction>
  <inputConfig type="joystick" deviceName="Xin-Mo Xin-Mo Dual Arcade" deviceGUID="03000000c0160000e105000001010000">
    <input name="a" type="button" id="11" value="1" />
    <input name="b" type="button" id="8" value="1" />
    <input name="down" type="axis" id="1" value="1" />
    <input name="left" type="axis" id="0" value="-1" />
    <input name="pagedown" type="button" id="2" value="1" />
    <input name="right" type="axis" id="0" value="1" />
    <input name="pageup" type="button" id="5" value="1" />
    <input name="select" type="button" id="9" value="1" />
    <input name="start" type="button" id="10" value="1" />
    <input name="up" type="axis" id="1" value="-1" />
    <input name="x" type="button" id="1" value="1" />
    <input name="y" type="button" id="0" value="1" />
  </inputConfig>
  <inputConfig type="joystick" deviceName="USB,2-axis 8-button gamepad  ">
    <input name="pagedown" type="button" id="5" value="1"/>
    <input name="start" type="button" id="7" value="1"/>
    <input name="pageup" type="button" id="4" value="1"/>
    <input name="up" type="axis" id="1" value="-1"/>
    <input name="a" type="button" id="0" value="1"/>
    <input name="b" type="button" id="1" value="1"/>
    <input name="down" type="axis" id="1" value="1"/>
    <input name="right" type="axis" id="0" value="1"/>
    <input name="select" type="button" id="6" value="1"/>
    <input name="left" type="axis" id="0" value="-1"/>
  </inputConfig>
</inputList>

@BuZz

That fixed it. Not sure why those were changed like that.

Hi guys,

im struggling on some kind of the same problem.

Since id like to use the "ingame save option" its needed to end the emulator in a proper way.
this seems to be working fine with the NES emu, but not for the SNES emulator.

Im using a USB Buffalo SNES controller.

i tried editing several files to get this working, but it seems like my changes didnt affect anything.

Id really appreciate some help here. If i need to load up some of my conigfiles just let me know.

btw sorry for my bad english its not my native language :)

Thx in advance

Hi again,

since im not able to edit my post.
Here some important information:

Model: Raspberry Pi 3B
Version: Linux 4.4.13-v7+ armv7l GNU/Linux !? (not sure if this is the correct information)

Im pretty sure i used the preconfigured SD-Card image.

I am very new to this and I would like to know how to fix mine. I have the same problem with select / start issue. I have been working on this for two days. How can I get some help?

@wesleybilly It'd be best if you started a fresh thread and provided the information from the link: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first
