Topic: Retroarch and Hotkeys
My setup is 99.99% working but I am having problems getting hotkeys to work. My config file is pasted below. It is pretty much a copy and paste of the one that comes in the RetroPie-Setup directory. I have tried with and without quotes.
I would like Select + Start to exit the emulator.Right now if I press start it automatically exits the emulator. The emulator is ignoring my input_enable_hotkey_btn = “6” line.

Do I have to enable hotkeys with a “true” someplace in the config.
Also I have cleared out the retroarch.cfg file of all lines except needed paths and enabling joystick auto detect (which is working)….so nothing is doubling up on the control settings.
Thanks for the help

Topic: Enable Hotkey w/ Keyboard
This might be common knowledge, but I thought I’d share… I discovered after enabling the hotkey to be able to exit via the controller, none of the keyboard commands would work…
I had to add as second hotkey binding entry, but point it to a key on the keyboard. Once you enable the hotkey, you need to use it for every command…
Here are my input settings in my retroarch.cfg file

Even though I looked and looked, I cannot make the RetroArch Master System emulator quit a game with pressing start and select at the same time.
The interesting thing: I can quit games with start+select, as long as I’m using the Atari 2600, MAME, Genesis, NES, Turbografx 16 or SNES emulator. Just for the Sega Master System, it does not seem to work.
this is the interesting part of ~/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg :
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "2" input_exit_emulator_btn = "3"I just resolved some very frustrating issues that I was having with my retroarch.cfg joystick config file. Default behavior was strange in some of the emulators, and I couldn’t quite get input_enable_hotkey_btn and input_exit_emulator_btn to work correctly. NeoGeo emulation using FBA did work for some crazy reason, but the other emulators did not. When I removed the input_enable_hotkey_btn line from the config, it would exit whenever I pressed button 0 instead of the button that I tried to configure to the cfg file. I ended up restarting from scratch, and seeing the difference between my old config files and the new config files to find out the difference.
My first error was piping instead of appending when I used the retroarch-joyconfig program found in RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch/tools.
What I typed was:
./retroarch-joyconfig | ~/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgI should have typed:
./retroarch-joyconfig >> ~/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgI then compounded my problem by manually copying and pasting the following lines into my config file (using vim over ssh, if I remember correctly):
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8" input_exit_emulator_btn = “9″I had not realized two things:
My config doesn’t need the quotes.
I had accidentally pasted two different types of quotes (“ and ″) into a config file, which likely caused the program to freak out and not read the configuration properly.After loading RetroPie 1.9.1 onto the card from scratch, I noticed the error of my ways, updated the configuration file correctly, and I am now able to exit emulators effectively and continue to play games.
Learn from my lesson, RetroPie users! Beware the quotes!

Prerequisites
1. For the following I assume that RetroPi was installed and is running with other controls (like keyboard, joystick etc.). I followed the excellent tutorial http://supernintendopi.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/an-a-to-z-beginners-guide-to-installing-retropie-on-a-raspberry-pi/ for this (using the “RetroPie Project SD Card Image”).
2. You have a blue-tooth dongle (sometimes called blue-tooth adapter). For a list of dongles known to work with Raspberry Pi see http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Bluetooth_adapters#Working_Bluetooth_adapters ).
Note: Put the dongle in one of the USB ports of the Raspberry Pi directly, don’t put it into a USB hub (I read somewhere that it doesn’t work even with an active USB hub).
Installation
Now install the needed parts:
sudo apt-get install bluetooth sudo apt-get install python-cwiid sudo apt-get install wminputGetting the wiimotes to work
. uinput device needs to work with non-root users. To do so, create a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/wiimote.rules with the following line:
KERNEL==“uinput“, MODE:=“0666“Reboot the Raspberry Pi to make this change active.
. Check that the blue-tooth dongle works: Command
/etc/init.d/bluetooth status
should return that bluetooth is working. Scan for the wiimotes. Start
hcitool scan
and press 1+2 on your wiimote(s). After a short while, the output should be something likeScanning ... 00:19:1D:87:90:38 Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 00:19:1D:88:EF:12 Nintendo RVL-CNT-01Take a note of the addresses of your wiimotes (the 00:19:1D:87:90:38 in the output above), we need that later.
Note: If the scan is not successful try it again. Sometimes you need to try it several times (I read that somewhere, but it always worked for me the first time).. Correct usage of wminput
For every wiimote, we need one wminput command to map the wiimote (and the classic controller) buttons to something emulationstation and the emulators can work with. wminput comes with configuration files (in directory /etc/cwiid/wminput). I created my own configuration file, which works if you use a wiimote with or without a classic controller. Create the file /home/pi/mywminput with the following content:Classic.Dpad.X = ABS_X Classic.Dpad.Y = ABS_Y Classic.LStick.X = ABS_HAT0X Classic.LStick.Y = ABS_HAT0Y Classic.RStick.X = ABS_HAT1X Classic.RStick.Y = ABS_HAT1Y Classic.A = BTN_A Classic.B = BTN_B Classic.X = BTN_X Classic.Y = BTN_Y Classic.Minus = BTN_SELECT Classic.Plus = BTN_START Classic.Home = BTN_MODE Classic.L = BTN_TL Classic.R = BTN_TR Classic.ZL = BTN_TL2 Classic.ZR = BTN_TR2 Wiimote.A = BTN_A Wiimote.B = BTN_B Wiimote.Dpad.X = -ABS_Y Wiimote.Dpad.Y = ABS_X Wiimote.Minus = BTN_SELECT Wiimote.Plus = BTN_START Wiimote.Home = BTN_MODE Wiimote.1 = BTN_X Wiimote.2 = BTN_YIf the Raspberry Pi is started and emulationstation starts, we want to register the wiimotes so they can be used with emulationstation and the emulators.
I did it the following way:
mkdir /home/pi/bin
create file /home/pi/bin/attachwii.sh with the following content:#!/bin/bash hcitool dev | grep hci >/dev/null if test $? -eq 0 ; then wminput -d -c /home/pi/mywminput 00:19:1D:92:90:38 & wminput -d -c /home/pi/mywminput 00:19:1D:84:EF:33 & else echo "Blue-tooth adapter not present!" fiNote: You need one wminput line for every wiimote you want to use (i.e. the above is for two wiimotes)
Note 2: You need to replace the addresses of the wiimotes above by the addresses of your wiimotes (shown by command „hcitool scan“ as shown above).
make the script executable with
chmod 775 /home/pi/bin/attachwii.sh
have the script be started just before emulationstation starts. To do so, edit the file /etc/profile
The last line should be
[ -n "${SSH_CONNECTION}" ] || emulationstation
right before this line, add the line
/home/pi/bin/attachwii.sh
and save the file.If you now do a reboot, wait until emulationstation has been started. When it did, press 1+2 on all of your wiimotes to register the wiimotes. Now you can „tell“ emulationstation and the emulators to use the wiimotes (and the classic controllers). Here are my configuration files.
For emulationstation:

input_player1_b_btn = "0"
in the retroarch.cfg file before adding my lines, remove (or out-comment) the whole section. If you want to use more than two wiimotes, search for the line
input_player1_joypad_index = 0
in retroarch.cfg and add the a corresponding line for the other wiimotes. For example you should have the following lines in retroarch.cfg for four wiimotes:input_player1_joypad_index = 0 input_player2_joypad_index = 1 input_player3_joypad_index = 2 input_player4_joypad_index = 3Finally, add the following two lines at the end of /home/pi/RetroPi/configs/all/retroarch.cfg:
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "0" input_exit_emulator_btn = "1"This will exit the emulator when you press A+B simultaneously on the wiimote (or the classic controller).
Note: the config files above work for wiimotes with or without classic controller.
Note 2: If you want to use the wiimote (i.e. not only the classic controller) and you are using my config files, you need to hold the wiimote horizontally (with the power button on the right).Hope that helps.
Hey all I was wondering if somone could help me
I installed my xbox360 controller to my Pi today and went through the input program on Emulation station but afterwards I decided to follow the guide on http://supernintendopi.wordpress.com/ to set up my controller properly so I had a hot key for exiting the emullators.
Everything works fine on the SNES and Megadrive emulator but the GB,GBA and Mastersystem emulators are still using the old controllers and thus unless I press escape on a keyboard I have no way of exiting them. I cant see what I have missed to make them work differently, my config looks like this at the bottom
# input_enable_hotkey_btn = 6
# input_exit_emulator_btn = 7
# input_rewind_btn = 3
# input_save_state_btn = 4
# input_load_state_btn = 5
# input_player2_a_btn = 0
# input_player2_b_btn = 1
# input_player2_x_btn = 2
# input_player2_y_btn = 3
# input_player2_l_btn = 4
# input_player2_r_btn = 5
# input_player2_start_btn = 7
# input_player2_select_btn = 6
# input_player2_left_axis = -0
# input_player2_right_axis = +0
# input_player2_up_axis = -1
# input_player2_down_axis = +1
input_player1_joypad_index = “0”
input_player1_b_btn = “0”
input_player1_y_btn = “2”
input_player1_select_btn = “8”
input_player1_start_btn = “9”
input_player1_up_axis = “-5”
input_player1_down_axis = “+5”
input_player1_left_axis = “-4”
input_player1_right_axis = “+4”
input_player1_a_btn = “1”
input_player1_x_btn = “3”
input_player1_l_btn = “4”
input_player1_r_btn = “5”
input_player1_l2_btn = “6”
input_player1_r2_btn = “7”
input_player1_l3_btn = “11”
input_player1_r3_btn = “12”
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 = “+2”
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = “-2”
input_player1_r_y_plus_axis = “+3”
input_player1_r_y_minus_axis = “-3”
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “8”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “9”Is this all correct or do I need to edit a different file.
Also a couple of quick questions.
-Is there a guide to get mame to work, every time I click on a rom it just goes straight back to the rom screen again
-can you add different hot keys? I have it so that If I click start and back it exits the emulator but I also wanted and hot key to toggle fast speed?Cheers
