Playstation dual shock 4

[dragonjab]

Hi, I’m using the Playstation dual shock 4, everything works perfect on every emulator even mame. The only problem I’m having is with FBA, final burn alpha. I’m using the lr-fba. All my controls work except for the start and insert coin button. What could be the problem? I even put the controls directly into the fba retroarch file and without any luck. Is also weird because my hotkey works. My hotkey is select and when I hit start and select I exit out the menu. I went tot he rgui and it says coin select and start is the start button in my case button 9.
select = 8
start =9

Hi,

This is a known issue, although it doesn’t appear to have anyone interested in fixing it, yet! https://github.com/libretro/fba-libretro/issues/46

HI @dankcushions
I figure out the solution to my problem. Since the hokey on my controller is set to select and the Coin for the emulator is set to select. The emulator would choose the hotkey over the coin. So what I did was set a different hotkey just for FBA. I did this by going into the FBA retroarch file.
So at first my hotkey was
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “8” // select

and then I change it on the FBA retroarch file using sudo nano
the new config is
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “4” // which is my L1 bumbper button

so now hotkey = L1
and
Coin = Select

I would love to get my PS4 controllers to work on this beauty!

Thanks
