Voljega: I read the suggestion of using WinSCP elsewhere on these very forums but failed to take action. The files were successfully uploaded by way of WinSCP. I am pleased to report SegaCD emulation now functions without deficits. I would like to extend a special thank you to everyone who replied to this thread for their able assistance.
After some searching I figured out that I can customize the controls in Kodi by modifying "/recalbox/configs/kodi/input.xml". This is a good start, but this only configures "global" controls.
