Reply To: RetroPie Hotkeys not working

[ragnaer]

Hi Floob, thanks for the help again !! :-)

Ok so i’ve done as you have suggested, and have made some progress – the exit game hotkey seems to work now, although for some reason it is only working when I hold num2 down and press num1 (not the other way around). ANyway this is fine – as long as it works ! :-)

The next step is saves – can you suggest what to change to get this working?

I used your base file and changed the keyboard section to:
# Keyboard input, Joypad and Joyaxis will all obey the “nul” bind, which disables the bind completely,
# rather than relying on a default.
input_player1_a = ctrl
input_player1_b = alt
input_player1_y = shift
input_player1_x = space
input_player1_start = num1
input_player1_select = num5
input_player1_l = z
input_player1_r = x
input_player1_left = left
input_player1_right = right
input_player1_up = up
input_player1_down = down
input_player1_coin1 = 5
input_player2_a = a
input_player2_b = s
input_player2_y = q
input_player2_x = w
input_player2_start = num2
input_player2_select = num6
input_player2_l = i
input_player2_r = k
input_player2_left = d
input_player2_right = g
input_player2_up = r
input_player2_down = f
input_player2_coin2 = 6
input_exit_emulator = num2
input_exit_emulator_btn = num2
# input_player1_l2 =
# input_player1_r2 =
# input_player1_l3 =
# input_player1_r3 =

In addition, the last line in the file is:
input_enable_hotkey = num1

Thanks for your help !
