      Hello,

      I am running a Raspberry Pi 3 with Retropie 4.1.3 with RetroArch 1.3.6 and selecting F1 on my keyboard does not launch RetroArch. I am able to run that from within the Retropie settings menu, however there are no cores to load, and most of the sub menus don't have anything. I have confirmed that there are core files located at \retropie\configs\all\retroarch\cores info.files. I have confirmed the settings > directory seem right in RetroArch. I am also properly connected to my network. I am trying to modify the graphics on some PSX games.

      Am I missing something obvious? Are the cores not really the info files? do I have to download them? Also my keyboard works just fine, isn't F1 the default. Is there a way to change that.

      Thanks so much for the help!

        @Hanky42 f1 is the default IF you don't ha e hotkeys enabled (which are enabled by default with RetroPie) which means you have to press select+x (or whatever you configured those buttons as on your keyboard)

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

          Hello,

          Thanks for the reply, I didn't configure anything except my controller. F1 doesn't work, and I did not configure any hotkeys. Where can I manually configure the hotkey for my keyboard?

          Thanks!
