After more reading I see this is only available in the beta. Ill try v3.0.

OK so I answered all my questions myself. For the sake of completion:

– You can find the numbers for the buttons you need in the Emulation Station controller configuration (it tells you the button number when you set them up).

– The format above is correct but you must login to the Pi with the root account to edit the file.

– For anyone using the SNES controller, the SELECT is button 9 and the START is button 8.

Thank you everyone! Working great now. I wish this was part of the core install somehow.

Is this what I am suppose to be doing?

system_directory = /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/../BIOS
config_save_on_exit = false
video_aspect_ratio = 1.33
video_smooth = false
video_threaded = true
input_enable_hotkey = escape
input_exit_emulator = escape
rewind_enable = false
rewind_buffer_size = 10
rewind_granularity = 2
input_rewind = r
video_gpu_screenshot = true
input_shader_next = m
input_shader_prev = n
video_shader_dir = /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/shader/
input_player1_a = x
input_player1_b = z
input_player1_y = a
input_player1_x = s
input_player1_start = enter
input_player1_select = rshift
input_player1_l = q
input_player1_r = w
input_player1_left = left
input_player1_right = right
input_player1_up = up
input_player1_down = down
input_autodetect_enable = true
joypad_autoconfig_dir = /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/configs/
input_enable_hotkey_btn = 6
input_exit_emulator_btn = 7

Looks perfect! Glad you got it to work. Any idea how to find out what button numbers are assigned to my START and SELECT buttons? How did you determine that you needed numbers 6 and 7?

To access the file, I plugged the Pi into my network using the Ethernet cable. Then fired up FileZilla (you can use any FTP client) and connected to the IP address of the Pi (in my case 192.168.1.15). Make sure you use SFTP (SSH) and not FTP. The username is pi and password raspberry. From here it will list the directory tree. Click the root (/) at the very top to open the system folders and then browse to:

opt/retropie/configs/all

The file can then be copied to your desktop, edited, and sent back. My issue is I don’t know what to put int he file!

I have the file and am using a SNES USB controller. I would like to hold the START and SELECT buttons down to return to the main page so could someone please tell me how to find out what button numbers these are and how to edit the retroarch.cfg file? Thank you!

Would you mind giving us deadbeats a HOWTO on how you managed to get it to work? Where is the file, what did you use to edit, and what did you enter in the file and where? Very much appreciated.

+1 I have the exact same issue. I can not find the /home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all path anywhere accessing the RetroPie via FileZilla or CyberDuck. I am using the PI account as the ROOT is disabled. This worked perfectly in the v1 release but I can not find the file anywhere in v2 to edit to get the “exit to menu” from the controller.
