    We have rebuild an old dead Arcade cabinet and fitted it with retropie, image: RetroPie SD-card Image for Raspberry Pi 2 Version 3.0 BETA 4

    It uses two seperate “DragonRiseInc.GenericUSBJoystick” joystickcontroller.
    As the arcade cabinet only has 3 buttons+start+coin on each side, there are plenty of button connections left on the controllers.

    I would like to dedicate a button to exit the emulator and return to the retropie frontend.

    I have managed to do so in AdvMame and Mame4All, but am having trouble in FBA.

    The exitbutton is wired to js0-button 10 (verified by jstest /dev/input/js0)

    my /opt/retropie/configs/fba/fba2x.cfg is as follows. As you can see, I tried to add QUIT to the joystick portion.

    [Keyboard]
    # Get codes from /usr/include/SDL/SDL_keysym.h
    A_1=306
    B_1=32
    X_1=308
    Y_1=304
    L_1=122
    R_1=120
    START_1=13
    SELECT_1=9
    LEFT_1=276
    RIGHT_1=275
    UP_1=273
    DOWN_1=274
    QUIT=27
    #player 2 keyboard controls, disabled by default
    A_2=999
    B_2=999
    X_2=999
    LEFT_1=276
    RIGHT_1=275
    UP_1=273
    DOWN_1=274
    QUIT=27
    #player 2 keyboard controls, disabled by default
    A_2=999
    B_2=999
    X_2=999
    Y_2=999
    L_2=999
    R_2=999
    START_2=999
    SELECT_2=999
    LEFT_2=999
    RIGHT_2=999
    UP_2=999
    DOWN_2=999

    [Joystick]
    # Get codes from “jstest /dev/input/js0”
    # from package “joystick”
    A_1=0
    B_1=1
    X_1=2
    Y_1=3
    L_1=4
    R_1=6
    START_1=9
    SELECT_1=8
    QUIT=10
    #Joystick axis
    JA_LR=0
    JA_UD=1
    #player 2 button configuration
    A_2=0
    B_2=1
    X_2=2
    Y_2=3
    L_2=4
    R_2=6
    START_2=9
    SELECT_2=8
    #Joystick axis
    JA_LR_2=0
    JA_UD_2=1

    [Graphics]
    DisplaySmoothStretch=1
    # Display Effect: 0 none, 1 scanlines
    DisplayEffect=0
    DisplayBorder=0
    MaintainAspectRatio=1

    [Sound]

    I also altered my /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg file and added:

    input_exit_emulator = escape
    input_exit_emulator_btn = 10
    input_enable_hotkey = nul

    I’m not sure thats possible to be honest:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/pifba/files/

    I’ll let you know if I find a way.

    Try

    Or otherwise use uinput key_ESC to exit

    I had the same issue using “zero delay encoders”. The problem is that they aren’t “true” keyboard encoders, but are seen as generic “joysticks”. I used adafruit’s guide and used their retrogame tutorial and program to program a GPIO button (much like Matthew did) to key “ESC”.

    Here is the link: https://learn.adafruit.com/retro-gaming-with-raspberry-pi/buttons

    Works like a champ and gets me out of FBA/Mame every time.
    read the instructions CAREFULLY.
