Reply To: Can't open RGUI; Hotkeys are working only sometimes

Thank you, but I already saw this video. It’s very good.. but he explains how they should behave.

After some hours trying to solve the problem by editing the configs, I decided to begin from scratch. This time with a Raspian image and RetroPie compiled from sources. After that I configured my XBOX360 controller:

input_player1_joypad_index = "0"
input_player1_b_btn = "0"
input_player1_y_btn = "2"
input_player1_select_btn = "6"
input_player1_start_btn = "7"
input_player1_up_btn = "13"
input_player1_down_btn = "14"
input_player1_left_btn = "11"
input_player1_right_btn = "12"
input_player1_a_btn = "1"
input_player1_x_btn = "3"
input_player1_l_btn = "4"
input_player1_r_btn = "5"
input_player1_l2_axis = "+2"
input_player1_r2_axis = "+5"
input_player1_l3_btn = "9"
input_player1_r3_btn = "10"
input_player1_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
input_player1_r_x_plus_axis = "+3"
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = "-3"
input_player1_r_y_plus_axis = "+4"
input_player1_r_y_minus_axis = "-4"

..and added input_exit_emulator_btn = “6”, because I want to be able to stop the emulator via controller. Then, without changing any hotkey behaviour, the follwing works (not):

SNES:
Exiting via ESC doesn’t work
RGUI via F1 doesn’t work
Switching shaders via M&N doesn’t work
Exiting via SELECT (btn#6) works

Playstation:
Exiting via ESC doesn’t work
RGUI via F1 doesn’t work
Switching shaders via M&N doesn’t work
Exiting via SELECT (btn#6) works

N64:
Exiting via ESC works
RGUI via F1 doesn’t work
Switching shaders via M&N doesn’t work
Exiting via SELECT (btn#6) doesn’t work

Then I changed the hotkey behaviour to “Press ALT to enabled hotkeys“:

SNES:
Exiting via ALT+ESC works
RGUI via ALT+F1 works
Switching shaders via ALT+M&N works
Exiting via SELECT (btn#6) works

Playstation:
Exiting via ALT+ESC works
RGUI via ALT+F1 works
Switching shaders via ALT+M&N works
Exiting via SELECT (btn#6) works

N64:
Exiting via ALT+ESC works
RGUI via ALT+F1 doesn’t work
Switching shaders via ALT+M&N doesn’t work
Exiting via SELECT (btn#6) doesn’t

I’m really confused. :/ I didn’t change any other configs..

..just for fun I tested input_exit_emulator_btn = “9” to have the analog stick for exiting the emulators: It doesn’t work in SNES, N64 and Playstation. :(

PS: After compiling I had to run this command, because some directories were owned by root. Is this normal?

sudo chown -hR pi:pi /home/pi/

I hope somebody can help me..
