Swap Buttons A and B in RetroArch RGUI only

vbs

@dankcushions said in Swap Buttons A and B in RetroArch RGUI only:

@vbs can be adjusted in RGUI or retroarch.cfg. eg:
# Menu buttons.
# menu_ok_btn          =
# menu_cancel_btn      =
you'll have to ucomment them first if they're commented like the above. i've never set them. guess it's set to the numeric js button. probably easier to do through the RGUI.

Sorry me again with this issue. I have this in my config for a while:

menu_ok_btn = "0"
menu_cancel_btn = "8"

and it worked well so far. I didn't touch Retroarch in a while but now it does not seem to work anymore. My A and B buttons are again "wrong". I also tried several other IDs instead of 0 and 8 but no difference at all.
Did something change there or any other ideas what the reason could be?

I also noticed that closing the menu using "Select + X" does not work anymore (which used to work in the past). I can open the menu with it but I cannot use it to close it again. I always have to choose "Resume" from the quick menu.

EDIT:
Sorry I think I did not mention the environment: I am using latest Retropie on an Intel i5 NUC on Lubuntu 16.04 with Xbox 360 Wireless controllers.

@vbs the hotkey to exit retroarch is a known issue - there is an upstream ticket and at least 2 topics on it - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5161/unable-to-exit-retroarch-menu / https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/3899#issuecomment-259129721

The other issue should be reported to retroarch.

Ok, thanks I reported that issue with the menu button mapping.
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/4111

I really feel a bit unsure if the error is maybe just on my side. Can someone confirm that it is a general bug in current RetroArch?

@vbs I noticed it (A and B reversed) on my Android (using a RetroArch buit on 2016-11-27). I'll update from source on RetroPie and check it.

UPDATE: I've just noticed that someone answered your issue with some news: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/4111#issuecomment-264021380

@vbs I think you're going to see this on your issue, but let me put it here for future reference:

The menu_ok_ btn and menu_cancel_btn are now deprecated on RetroArch. The Retropad B button is "Cancel" and the Retropad A button is the "OK". The only option you have is to swap them setting menu_swap_ok_cancel_buttons = "true".

edit: corrected the option name.

@meleu
Thanks alot mate!
But I think the option is named menu_swap_ok_cancel_buttons(rather than menu_swap_ok_cancel). Just if someone else stumbles upon this...

@vbs you're right. And it was already fixed. :-)
Cheers!
