    Hi All,

    Running latest version of download from here around 2-3 weeks ago.

    New to Retropie but been reading loads and gotten quite a way through myself without having to ask any noob questions, but I can’t sort this out.

    Question 1, If I launch the SNES emulator the games load, I can play the games, restart using the start + select combo, great. But for some reason the X button restarts the emulator also????
    Here is the retroarch.cfg details for the control pad:

    ## Skeleton config file for RetroArch

    Question 2, how do I configure the second control pad? I’ve tried copying the above and pasting, but changing player1 to player2 and the joypad_index = “1”, but when this code is in place it controls both P1 and P2 from the one control pad.

    Any ideas or pointers welcome.

    look at this part: input_exit_emulator_btn = “9”
    that is what is likely causing it to close the emu

    Yep I’ve tried that before, it works but stops the key combo for exiting the emulator so once I’ve launched a game I’m pretty much stuck.
    Any ideas when the Start + Select options doesn’t even include the X button.

    Found out what it was, followed the instructions in this guide, seems like the quotation marks I was using for the reset were the wrong type.
    So I just copied ones from the line above and changed the text before hand, this gave me the same format as the ones used by the .cfg file.

    A bit more info here: https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/solved-issues-with-retroarch-cfg-configuration-for-joypads-exit-emulator/

    Just need to sort the second control pad now.
