I have had the same issue. I thought that i commented twice last night on this post but i checked this morning and my replies were not there so i am posting this one. My solution is only a temporary fix so if anyone has a better and permanent solution please share. I did this last night so i might be a little confusing. If you need clearer instructions i can set up my controller again and write down the exact steps to post on here. The first thing i did was launch a game, in this case it was Super Mario World on the SNES emulator. I had the same error message as you did, “PS3 Controller (1356/616) not configured”. To fix this i used my keyboard pressed F1 to bring up the menu and then i went to settings. For me to continue was to press ‘x’ and to go back was to press ‘z’.From settings i went to driver and made sure that the input driver and the joy pad driver were both set to udev. Then i went back to the first settings page and then down to video and selected full screen. When i say selected it i mean that i pressed the button to choose it, i did not press the arrow keys to turn it on or off, from what i can tell it does not matter if you keep it on or off as long as you press ‘x’ while highlighting the full screen option. Doing this i would get a yellow message in the bottom left of my screen saying that my controller is configured. i then resumed the game. this caused only my PS3 controller to work and not my keyboard but it did seem i had hotkeys on my controller. When i hold down the button i set as select, which in my case was the select button, and then press another button. in my case i pressed select and square, my square was set to ‘x’ for the game pad. This opened another prompt in which i was able to navigate and find something labeled as analog to joy pad driver, you could probably have done this step before you resumed the game. Once i found that i set it to the left analog and this allowed me to use my left analog in game. Again if you want me to have clearly instructions i can run through it again myself this time writing down the steps. Also if anyone else has a better and permanent solution please share.
ok, i got my controller configured again!
i had to do it from inside RetroArch’s menu (loaded up a game, pressed F1)
then i manually configured each button again and saved this configuration. it created a new file in my retroarch-joypads directory
i have since added in all the hotkeys again
I am uploading this file for you all to use: “http://iruberleet.org/files/Logitech F710 Gamepad (XInput).cfg” – please copy this entire link inside the quotation marks and download it
i had this controlled set to the “X” position for xinput, i will likely create another for direct – i do not guarantee that this will work for you all but if you do in fact have the F710 this should work in xinput mode
Direct Input (D): “http://iruberleet.org/files/Logitech F710 Gamepad (DInput).cfg” – can’t get the hotkeys to work but the regular stuff works perfect now – just leave it in XINput
Hello guys, first of all sorry for my bad english ^^
I recently receive a Rpi 2 and I wanted to do a Retropie like everybody here ^^
But I’ve got some issues and I became crazy xD
It has been a long time I try to do hotkeys for my X360 controller. I configured my controller and it works great (tested on snes with super mario world) but my hotkeys to save and load the game don’t work :( I would like that when I press the “button 7” my game save as .smr in the folder and when I press “button 6” I continue my last save game !
OR
I would like a auto save files, each 5 seconds (I’d tried before but not working too :( )
Thanks for replies !
I have a previously working retropie with my bartop arcade and all the buttons mapped out and it works flawlessly xin-mo 2 player usb controller with 8 buttons per player and 4 hotkey buttons on the front of the machine. i did update to the 3.1 and it worked no problem, but i updated last night to the 3.2.1 for some of the new features and when retropie booted back up none of the controls would work. i did the setup script install rebooted and then did the binary install, then i copied over the bios folder and the config folder from the previous install and pasted it in the new install bios and config folders and still nothing. what folder can i copy over to the new install so that my retroarch controls will work as they did in the old version that i have.
I have tried to configure it to use the analog stick instead of the dpad without any luck. I have edited /opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg like this…
input_remapping_directory = /opt/retropie/configs/fba/
input_up_btn = "-1"
input_down_btn = "+1"
input_left_btn = "-0"
input_right_btn = "+0"
I got the numbers from the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/PLAYSTATION(R)3Controller.cfg file.
input_device = "PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller"
input_driver = "udev"
input_r_y_plus_axis = "+3"

Has anyone accomplished this?
It’s always the little things ;) glad you got it sorted.
I’ve clarified the wiki:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation#default-hotkeys
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly
I would like to tackle the exit emulator button first.
All my emulators aren’t exiting.
Nes Snes game boy, megadrive.
Do you have to do anything else other than write in the text
Input_enable_hotkey_btn = 1
Input_exit_emulator_btn = enter
I am typing this in config/all
roms not saving won’t have anything to do with the exit emulator button – what roms do you mean? what emulator?
setting up the hotkeys, again, it depends on the system, emulator, etc. it’s all in the wikis but maybe we can direct you to the right bit.
I know this has been a topic that comes up all the time, and i have done some research, but i cannot for the life of me figure out why my hotkeys wont work.
I am using retroie 3. and an ipac2.
Both players controls are working fine.
The roms are not saving. which i am assuming that its because i dont have an exit emulator button. I cant seem to fugure out how to get the hotkeys to work. and i think i have tried everything.
Is there a nice tutorial out there that anyone has used, and got it working?
i have mapped the hotkey button to a few different buttons. the select button, and even the A button. and i have paired the exit emulatr button with the start button (enter)….. nothing.
Please please help.
i have been working on this thing for what seems like forever.
Thanks in advance
Liam
this came up this time. So it looks like the hotkey is enabled but not working for some reason.
You may want to brush up on your Linux terminal command knowledge:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/ssh
The hotkey is select so its select+start not start+select.
What is the output of
ls -lah /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads
Also BTW that video is outdated. (I need to make a new one) the official wiki is the only thing kept consistently up to date.
ive tried the start then select to exit hotkey and it doesn’t work. So ive been trying to get into the config file to set it up myself, but every command i have found doesn’t seem to work.
I watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0FT4i2CQVI and was able to config the retroarch file with the controller, even though i did that already through emulationstation and when he gets to opening the file to see the hotkeys that are already in place. i get this command does not exist.
It automatically configured hotkeys when you configure your controllers through emulationstation
Are your hotkeys not working?
So im new to this and seem to got it mostly working, but I cant figure out how to input the hotkey for start-select to exit the emulator. I have searched and searched and tried all kinds of different ways. Very frustrating. I was able to go into retroarch and save the set up for the controller. I am using a usb SNES controller, but everytime i try to enter the file, it says the command doesnt exist.
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs
doesnt work
I am using retropie 3.2.1
Any help would be great. There are some other inputs i have tried and its like the retroarch config file doesnt exist.
I never knew that. I actually questioned it before I posted on here and was about to pull out my physical NES to confirm. Glad you mentioned it. I also understand the HOTKEY issue as well. Thanks for the info.
Hotkeys are only enabled for player one.
It’s all in the documentation:
https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki
Retropie: the whole project together.- basically a customised Linux distribution built on top of raspbian.
(https://www.petrockblock.com/retropie/)
Retroarch: an emulator front end for many emulators (in the form of cores) retroarch makes controller configurations easier to manage and adds support for shaders, hotkeys, savestates, etc. (http://www.libretro.com)
Emulationstation: the front end for launching and managing games (its the first interface you see when it boots up) (http://www.emulationstation.org)
Any help to make the L and R buttons as hotkeys, for instance, save and load save games?
Hello
I’ve run Retropie from V2 through V3 now. I’m running into an issue with a Logitech Dual Action gamepad when mapping controls via the RGUI menu in each emulator.
My controller seems to auto-map correctly, but the NES emulator and SNES emulator map buttons to the wrong location on the gamepad. This seems to be by default. So I’ve been trying to manually map buttons for each emulator, saving a config file specific to each emulator once the buttons are accurately mapped.
The main issue I’m running into is when binding buttons for my gamepad and saving the configuration, after exiting the emulator and re-opening the emulator, the saved config file with specifically assigned buttons and a RGUI menu toggle button (choosing L3 + R3 via the menu) does not work. It works fine while I’m still in the emulator after configuring everything (without exiting the emulator), but after exiting the emulator it loads the retroarch.cfg general settings rather than the emulator specific config files I set and saved the last time the emulator was open. The problem is I can’t get to the RGUI input menu via a hotkey (L3+R3), I have to use a keyboard.
I want to save it in a way that automatically loads the config each time the emulator runs. Otherwise I’ll have to use a keyboard to get to the menu to reconfigure the button mappings each time the emulator is loaded.
Any advice? Thank you
the mode key might work, but it might be used for internal functions of your controller (eg, mine has a ‘turbo’ button) and not be usable by the pi.
maybe re-run the controller configuration and bind C button to select? if that works then it looks like there’s an issue with not binding a hotkey, as i would expect that to just disable hotkey functionality, rather than bind it to single buttons.
not sure about your xbox issue, sorry! looking at https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-up-the-XBox360-controller, once you’ve installed the driver i would follow step 1, but you’ll only need 1 entry if you have only 1 controller
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 0 --led 2 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
sleep 1
(probably best to have someone who has the controller confirm first!)
it almost seems like your hotkey is configured incorrectly, as all of these functions should normally be only triggered when the hotkey is held AND those buttons are pressed.
when you run the controller configuration thing in emulation station, what do you use for ‘select’? that is the default hotkey, and i’m guessing the megadrive controller clone doesn’t have a select button? perhaps there’s an issue with NOT having a hotkey defined…
Hi,
I am running Retropie SD Image 3.2.1 on RPI B+. I am having trouble getting the hotkey and the another button which it binds to work at the same time.
eg. I bind the hotkey to the select button. The hot key would work but the select button wouldn’t. If I bind the hotkey to the L1 button, L1 button wouldn’t work but hotkey would work.
Here is my config. Anyone knows what I need to do?

input_menu_toggle_btn = “2”
Alright, so I’ve tried everything short of updating to the latest lbr-fba-next from source, and I can’t seem to find any way to access the service menu for Neo Geo ROMs.
I’ve seen mention online of a supposed “Enable Diagnostics” toggle in the Core Options for fba-next, but that’s not present in my Core Options. Was it removed in a recent version or something?
I’ve also seen mention of a hotkey (similar to the one used to access the unibios menu) that can be used to jump right to the service menu, but nothing I’ve tried thus far has worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just want to turn on blood in games like Metal Slug 1-3.
Hi,

I wanted to switch around keys in FBA so i’ve change the following
/opt/retropie/configs/fba/fba2x.cfg
[Joystick]
# Get codes from "jstest /dev/input/js0"
# from package "joystick"
# Defaults to XBOX 360 Controller
A_1=1
B_1=0
X_1=2
Y_1=3
L_1=4
R_1=5
START_1=7
SELECT_1=6
#Joystick axis
JA_LR=0
JA_UD=1
[Graphics]
DisplaySmoothStretch=1
# Display Effect: 0 none, 1 scanlines
DisplayEffect=0
DisplayBorder=0
MaintainAspectRatio=1
DisplayAutoRotate=0
[Sound]
I switch around a and b for instance but the keys stayed exactly the same.
also editing the retroarch.cfg within the fba folder had no effect.
(did a proper reset in between aswell)
Can someone tell me what I can do to fix it?
kind regards,
Peanut
Yes this is my 3rd post on this …and I aks on behalf of Arrenone whom is havign the exact same problem.
Solutions have been offered but the more progress i make the more “in mud” i get. I need to focus attention elsewher ein my life but this “small” problem is ALL consuming.
OK, running a Pi 2b retro Image 3+
I had ALL working perfectly, re imaged now ALL Emulators great with PS3 controller BUT MAME nothing, if I use the TAB otion (GEneral) to assign keys it doesn’t register the Gamepad.
Someone suggested going to an other emulator such as lr-imame4all ..did that no trouble BUT since my PS3 doesn’t have a hotkey to assign coin/start game (default keys 5 and 1 in MAME) I couldn’t start a game to test the sucess…ALSO the others listed under the GitHub such as Lr-MAME2003/2010 they are not there ..where are these?
Someone then suggested ASSIGNING hot keys to this (makes sense!!) But can not for the life of me find my PS3 config file, I have found some in opt/retro../supplementary but they do not have a list of moves/keys.
SO my questions are where is this file AND What is the code should i wish to assign L1 button to insert coin and R1 to start game.
Hope to be able to sleep again soon…
Mate did you ever solve thisd? as having the exact same proble.
Solutions offered include:
Put them in lr-imame4all which uses the Retroarch configs HOWEVER there isn’t a map/hotkey via my PS3 set up for insert coin/start game (by default 5 and 1 on keyboard!)
SO then someone suggested setting upa hotkey.. BUT i am struggling to locate my PS3 USB mapping file. I saw Floobs video on it, well spoken and described BUT it was running on an old version and my set up / file positions seem totally different.
Sorry to not offer you a solution but anything I find or if you have a solution we sould share.
Definitely, I need help, I think I tried all but nothing success to INSERT COINS.
I have two players connected directly to GPIO.
Each player has START + SELECT + 6 BUTTONS + JOYSTICK
ES works with SNES Emulator, no problem, I can choose the emulator and play to Street Fighter, but I can not play to MAME games !!!
The problem, is the Insert Coin, I try all, but doesnt work !!

But when I run the config file there isn’t a ” edit hotkeys” option – I am running RetroPi 3+
I is proper frustrating as the thing is running PERFECT other than this.
I had a previous img and set the insert coin/start game to the L1 & L2 buttons. However I re-imaged (larger SD card) and now MAME will not recognise the pS3 controller at all !!
Pain in the a***
Hello,
I was using a retropie 2 with a IPAC2 to play to my arcade cabinet, after few difficulties it was working quite well with FBA and Mame roms.
I built a new one, and I took this opportunity to change my SDCard and reinstall the last retropie.
Before that I thaught to save the configuration for my IPAC2 that I paste in the retroarch.cfg of the new installation and my roms that I tested on retropie 2 that I paste also in the new installation.
Unfortunatly when I started… most of the roms are not working anymore ! any idea ?
And the IPAC is working much less :
– when I’m in a rom, to left it, I had to push both start buttons, but now it is not working any more.
– the button 3 and 6 switched I don’t why
– the coin button (select) was not working
I read that now I have to check the
input_enable_hotkey = num5
when I disabled it, I could leave the rom with the two start buttons, but :
– the button activate a kind of “turbo” and it is not working as a button
– the button 2 is a “reset”
– the button 4 is going to “retroarch menu”
I’m bit lost, do you have any information to help me ?
thanks !
Then that means there is an issue with that game saving. Info you should have provided in the first post, would have helped out a bunch. This is emulation, not all games will work correctly IE: memory card saving not working. I had the same issue with colin mcrae rally “saving” but not actually saving. In these cases, if you set up the save state and load system, it will still allow you to save, but just remember, every time you save on the game it will overwrite the previous quick save file.
All you need to do is go into the retroarch.cfg for psx, or if you want to do it for all systems, which is what I have done, the retroarch.cfg in “ALL”, and set buttons for quick save and quick load. I use an Xbox 360 controller and have my hotkey set to the left joystick button, and have quick save set to the start button and quick load to the select. This works great, specially for games like the above that don’t save correctly via the virtual memory card.. It’s also very nice to have this feature for all retroarch cores as it makes playing some of the classics a lot more fun due to the fact that you can now save in game, also makes them a lot easier which I consider a good thing as I don’t ever remember them being this hard when I was a kid :P
Buzz,
I ran through each of those scenarios. They all functioned identically. No discernible difference between the two.
I realized my MAME emulator had switched off of a libretro core. Once I fixed that, the controls worked fine with the Xbox 360 controller.
I continue to have the same reproducible issues with the F310s. The controls do not work at all UNTIL the back right trigger is pressed.
My LogitechGamepadF310.cfg files reads as such:
input_device = “Logitech Gamepad F310”
input_driver = “udev”
input_r_y_plus_axis = “+4”
input_l3_btn = “9”
input_r_x_minus_axis = “-3”
input_r_axis = “-5”
input_save_state_axis = “-5”
input_l2_btn = “4”
input_start_btn = “7”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “8”
input_l_y_minus_axis = “-1”
input_l_axis = “+2”
input_load_state_axis = “+2”
input_up_btn = “h0up”
input_r_y_minus_axis = “-4”
input_a_btn = “0”
input_b_btn = “1”
input_reset_btn = “1”
input_down_btn = “h0down”
input_r2_btn = “5”
input_l_x_plus_axis = “+0”
input_l_y_plus_axis = “+1”
input_r3_btn = “10”
input_right_btn = “h0right”
input_state_slot_increase_btn = “h0right”
input_x_btn = “2”
input_menu_toggle_btn = “2”
input_select_btn = “6”
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “8”
input_l_x_minus_axis = “-0”
input_y_btn = “3”
input_left_btn = “h0left”
input_state_slot_decrease_btn = “h0left”
input_r_x_plus_axis = “+3”
For reference, on jstest, that back right trigger is axis 5 and default value is “-32767”. When fully pressed, it is “32767.”
To me, this seems like a driver error with the F310. And it didnt happen with 2.6 and prior, so something changed.
So I’m convinced it has to do with the the back right button. I tried a total of 6 F310s, including 2 brand new ones. Same result every time.
So i wanted to go back to the original setup, so I restored my config files back to their original setup (so F310 .cfg file set to “udev”.
In all the systems that are working…none of the controls work until the back right trigger is pressed. The easiest way I’ve been testing this is to load up the emulator and attempt to exit via the hotkey (button 8), as I know this isn’t a game specific key. It does absolutely nothing initially. However, after I press the back trigger key once. The controls and hotkeys all work fine.

you have linked the original project, i have linked the more recent branch in which 9 puttons are supported for each player . Look at the /master/ vs /hotkeybtn/ on the links.
I don’t know how compile this, (the ./install.sh script is the same on both links, maybe a cut & paste error?)
