Change RetroArch hotkey (Xbox Guide button)

[protoman]

Hi, guys!

I want to change my RetroArch hotkey (by default, the hotkey is the "Back" button) on the X360 wireless controller. How to assign the "Guide" button to be the default RetroArch hotkey?

Thanks! :-)

@protoman google about jstest tool and discover the number of the button you wanna use. And then edit the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/YourJoypadName.cfg.

I'm gonna try this. Thanks!

Did you get it to work?
I'm on the same setup, with the same goal. I've tried changing the input_enable_hotkey_btn (to 10 according to jstest). But changing the value to anything other than the default (8) value (select button) stops the hotkey functionality to work at all. At least for me.

I just edited /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Xbox360WirelessReceiver(XBOX).cfg and changed:

input_enable_hotkey_btn = 10 #Guide

If that doesn't work then make sure to put " (quotes) around the number 10 or if you already have the quotes then remove them.
