Editing controller

[Electromaster64]

I have two genetic USB controllers and I am trying to get rid of the start+select=exit hotkey
I went to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
and did the following but it still exits when pushing start and select. All other buttons work as they should.

input_player1_joypad_index = 0
input_player1_a_btn = 0
input_player1_b_btn = 1
input_player1_x_btn = 2
input_player1_y_btn = 3
input_player1_l_btn = 4
input_player1_r_btn = 5
input_player1_start_btn = 6
input_player1_select_btn = 7
input_exit_emulator_btn = 8
input_player2_joypad_index = 1
input_player2_a_btn = 0
input_player2_b_btn = 1
input_player2_x_btn = 2
input_player2_y_btn = 3
input_player2_l_btn = 4
input_player2_r_btn = 5
input_player2_start_btn = 6
input_player2_select_btn = 7

I am trying to get rid of the start+select=exit hotkey

So do you want to disable the "Hotkey" function all together?

input_exit_emulator_btn = 8

And you want it to exit the RetroArch emulator when you press button #8 on your generic USB controllers?

I think you have to set the hotkey to null so try added this to your retroarch.cfg

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "nul"

If that doesn't work also add this:

input_enable_hotkey = "nul"
