SNES random button presses in game?

@batesman Same - my info is up in the first post of the thread

I am going to try a different libretto emulator and see if the issue persists.

@batesman There are other issues with the other emulators as well, so it is a pick your own poison situation it think. 9x2010 works great for single player and I don't have the exiting game issue, so I am going to stick with it for now.

I have changed the emulator to lr-snes9x and since making that change have not experienced any random non button presses. I've put in about 2 hours playtime since making the change.

@batesman any other noticeable bugs?

@TMNTturtlguy None yet, but I'm on the lookout!

So after...several hours of gameplay (5ish), I was playing Link to the Past and while in a boss fight, the Retroarch menu popped up. When I selected "close retroarch", the game exited to Emulation Station.

I have a hotkey config setup that allows me to exit games which is why I think it is exiting to desktop. I think the phantom key presses are hitting my hotkey exit combo.

It's a long shot, but it's the only explanation I've got.

@batesman Which emulator are you using? you just state lr-snes9x.....9x2002? 9x2005?

I'm going to explain this to the best of my own understandng.
lr-snes9x is an emulator. The 2002, 2005, and 2010 emulators are all main packages but there are other optional snes emulators that are libretto core. These are included as optional pacakages. lr-snes9x is one of the optionals.

So far, I have used lr-snes 2010 and lr-snes9x both have exhibited the issue, but lr-snes9x took much longer to do so.

@batesman hi, i have been having the same problems with my 8bitdo. Did you ever manage to fix the problem? I just got my 8bitdo today and while i was playing super mario kart it just steered me into a wall on a few occasions, then started resetting the game or just going back to the game list menu. worked 100% ok playing golden axe 3 for megadrive so only noticed it in the snes emulator.
