I dunno, maybe this is the British way of thinking and we Americans have it backwards, like how we list the date as the month, then day, then year. Having the leftmost column show, for example, "select + X", implies that this is the function itself, and gives no indication that the RGUI can be accessed another way. Description of what the press actually does should be the leftmost column, and then the other columns describe what you press(ed) to assign it, or what was the default assignment. But the tables where it lists this are backwards they have "hot key + " in the leftmost column, and the function in the center or right column (depending what page you are on), which doesn't make logical sense. I saw something like this in the Retroarch controller setup info. I'm assuming - and I might be wrong - that in the auto config file (assuming I can get there), when I null the hotkey as you described up above, that the other functions listed can be assigned to a single button as I described. The way the hotkeys work and are programmed is very unclear to someone who has never used a Raspberry Pi before, never worked in Retropie before, and has no programming experience.Īlso note, the video you reference is like 35 minutes long, very slow, shows him getting to screens I've never seen (without explanation of how he got there), and one of the first comments below says it's out of date and the current menu doesn't look like that. If it were clear, I wouldn't have asked again. However, if it's complicated (or glitchy), I would probably just do an 8-button layout and use the "'Select' button is the hotkey" No, it's not clear for someone who has never done this and never done programming. If individually mapping the "hotkey functions" can be done fairly simply, I would go with a 6-button layout, and mount dedicated buttons for each of these functions across the top or on the side faces of the panel.
Long story short, I want this panel to be intuitive for young kids and visiting friends, and "hotkey + other button" typically isn't (unless I add graphical instructions on the panel itself, which I'd prefer not to do).
When I start Retropie the first time and assign controller inputs ( ), do I also get to assign the hotkey functions? In other words, will it ask me to assign a button as a hotkey, and/or individual buttons for Load, Save, Exit, Reset, RGUI menu, etc.? But I have no programming skills and frankly most of the documentation about editing config files somewhat befuddles me. This thread indicates it's possible ( ), in post 6 even indicates "the new style", but that was 2 years ago. I would like to have dedicated buttons in place of the "hotkey+button" default. I also bought a package with (2) coin buttons along with 1P and 2P buttons, so I have 24 total buttons.
The package I bought has (2 sets of): joystick, 8 normal buttons, 2 smaller buttons, and a generic USB control board. I searched these topics and only find two threads, both of which are several years old, and I did not see a good explanation in the Docs, so apologies if I somehow missed this (it's also possible that capabilities of the Retropie system have changed in the past 2 years.)
