      I'm trying to add:

      input_screenshot = "0"
      input_pause_toggle = "2"
      

      to my controller's auto configuration file at /opt/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/ but the additions are being ignored by RetroArch. Is this by design or am I somehow adding them incorrectly?

        I was adding them incorrectly. I took the syntax examples from retroarch.cfg which only defines keyboard keys. To add joystick buttons, _btn must be appended as seen below.

        input_screenshot_btn = "0"
        input_pause_toggle_btn = "2"
