I’m having a slight issue with accessing the menu from within the emulators. I think people normally access it using F1 on a keyboard.

When I press F1, nothing happens. It did work once, before I configured my Xbox360 wireless pad, but now I can’t get it working.

I’ve looked at the retroarch.cfg file and I presume the button needs to be mapped to the menu input command, but even when I change this to F1, nothing happens. I’ve also tried mapping it to a button on my controller (ideally the home button – 15 I presume) but nothing works. Even if I map it to a known button (ie. A button) I still can’t get the menu to appear.

Does anybody know how to access the emulator menu in a game using the Xbox360 wireless pad? If so, what does you retroarch.cfg file look like?

Would be eternally grateful for any help as this seems to be the only problem I have to my otherwise perfect setup…

EDIT: I have now resolved this issue. I mapped the hotkey to F2 on the keyboard, then held F2 down before pressing F1. This then accessed the GUI from within the emulator and I was then able to assign my own button map using the settings in there. I then saved this as a new config file and replaced the retroarch.cfg one (the autosave feature saves it as a different .cfg file).
