Controller Pulls Up RetroArch Menu

Hi!

I'm sure that I am not the first to post this, but I have tested a few different emulators and controller keys (down on dpad for example) save state, or bring up the RetroArch menu. How do I disable this?

Hello
Which controller are you using ?

Should have added that. 8BitDo SN30 Pro+

and do you change something on controller mapping ? Which is the mode of your 8bitDo ?

Which Retrobat version you were using ?

Hello, Did you set up a hotkey ?

I set the hotkey as the home key (pictured here: https://support.8bitdo.com/ultimate/sn30pro_plus.html ).

Can you share your es_input.cfg file located in retrobat\emulationstation\\.emulationstation ?

Hopefully the formatting isn't too messed up.

Hey, the mode is Android. Windows mode does not work in RetroBat for some reason.

Latest build: v5.3.0-stable-win64

You should retry, because many users (even on the team) use this controller without trouble on windows mode.

I've tried multiple times. I have a second controller I can try to rule out an issue with the specific controller. Let me try that now.

Change your hotkey to the same key as select

Also change your controller to switch or xinput mode, not android

tartifless wrote:Also change your controller to switch or xinput mode, not android

That seems to have worked (changing it to switch). I will set the hotkey to select too. I really appreciate the help from you and getupor

But really do try the XInput mode for very best experience, Switch pro controller does not work with all emulators

Maybe through a driver update of the controller with the 8BitDO app

I'm using the app and the controller is up to date. I will play with the XInput mode to see if I can get it to work properly.
