      Dear forum,

      I am using an iPac2 and arcade sticks/buttons with my RetroPie setup (no USB gamepad or something like that). The iPac2 sends - as you probably know - keyboard press events to RetroPie, so from a pure technical perspective I'm using a keyboard to control ES/AM, etc.

      Currently I am using AM (attract mode) as a frontend to my games collection.

      Recently I noticed that the key press sensitivity seems to have become much higher. Everytime I navigate the menus (config menu, game selection), a simple short tip on the stick for "up"/"down" lets me jump 2 or 3 lines at once.Basically it seems as multiple up/down events are send at once. So I have to rather very very briefly tip the stick a couple of times until I end up on the actual menu item I want to select.

      Also, when I start a game in AM that uses retroarch I am presented with an "Quit AM and return to ES?" dialog once I quit a retroarch/libretro core and return to AM. It seems as if an ESC press is forwarded to AM even after leaving a retroarch emulator.

      Also, is there a key binding available which brings me directly to a screen where I can select my AM screen directly from a list (e.g "Jump n runs", "Arcade classics", "Street Fighter collection", etc....) ? Navigating like 30+ screens for the various emulators and collections I have in my setup is rather time-consuming.

      Thank you!
