Reply To: hotkey button "stuck" in RetroArch

[rev138]

Well, it looks like my problem was that I had followed this blog post: http://weekendengineer.wordpress.com/2014/09/02/auto-detecting-controllers-in-emulationstation-2-0

I had to deviate slightly from the instructions because the controller detection option in retroarch-config doesn’t seem to work (no output), so I ran joyconfig manually and copied the output to a file in /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/configs. This apparently does not work properly.

I appended the contents of my custom config file to the main retroarch.cfg, and now the controller behaves properly (though it doesn’t switch mappings when I plug in a different controller, as was implied by that how-to.
