      Hi people!

      I've read a lot the last months during my Super Game Boy Project (RP3, RetroPie 4.4) , but I still a newbie got one problem, maybe its easy to solve for you guys. I've setted up a couple of hotkeys in my retroarch.cfg to save, load, in/decrease sound. But when I use the hotkey for input_exit_emulator (start+select) my screen just blinks because somehow it dont goes proper back to emulationstation, I guess.

      In the retroarch.cfg file I read "# On Unix-likes, SIGINT/SIGTERM allows a clean deinitialization." Now I want to try different ways to kill retroarch, maybe it will goes back proper to emulationstation. But how do I use these arguments (sigkill, sigterm, sigint etc.) ?

      More exactly, how should look the line with a "special" way to exit the emulator? Now the line looks like this:
      input_exit_emulator = enter

        The screen blinks and then what? What happens? Does the game continue? Do you see the prompt?

          After pushing this hotkey that I am back in emulationstation, it can hear the sound and can choose a game etc., but the screen (connected over composite) goes black, seems like it loose the connection, comes back for a millisecond and goes black the hole time. The physical conection of the screen is not the fault, it must be something with the hotkey and my retroarch.cfg. (I have different kinds of retroarch.cfg in each emulator.)
