      This is inconsistent to all other emulators. It should be "hotkey + start" and not just "hotkey".

        i think it's link to the fact Reicast don't use Retroarch like almost all other emulators, so there is no choice for a multi key shortcut here.

            @marcdk this will be implemented in a future release.

                @marcdk I don't really see difference between HK=exit or HK+Start=exit ....
                This emulator don't support hotkeys / shortcuts features as savestates, rewind, etc...

                  @rockaddicted it's a weird and inconsistent behaviour. And doesn't Reicast support screenshots?

                      @rockaddicted But I can make screenshots from the recalbox manager (web frontend). Obviously it does support screenshots. 0_1512323469281_screenshot-2017-12-03T17-50-16-114Z.png

                        @marcdk do you really think the only way to make a screenshot is to ask the emulator to do it ? What about capturing what's in the GPU memory ? Do you really think we are that stupid and you feel smart trying to teach us anything ? You've been saying quite some nonsense for weeks, this really starts to exhausting

                          Dreamcast emulation on Rpi is in a beta stage, a lot of games don't run properly or at constant full speed.
                          I don't see the point of 2 key shortcut (wich is not coded in the emulator), nor in a screenshot feature, even more if you can take one with the web frontend like you did.

                          so... i don't get the point of your post.

                            And why don't you set the shortcut to the same function which takes screenshots in Recalbox manager?

                            And what is your problem? Batocera has this already fixed. And since I care for recalbox and prefer it over batocera I would like to see all the good things it does right in my preferred retro os.

                            The answer of your community guy was OK. Even if you don't plan to implement it I see that someone at least thought about it. Don't make this personal. I really only want to help to male recalbox better.

                              lol
                              Why is it so important to take a screenshot of an emulator who don't even run flawlessly ?
                              if batocera is better because of this feature, ... 🙂

                                Hey, you guys. Don't take it personally! I think we have a missunderstanding here. I just trying to find out if it is technically possible. If you don't want to implement it is ok. I thought it would be ok to at least ask why.

                                PS.: For me it is. I often write about games and everything related. I take screenshots of game I write about. Even if they don't work without problem. Sometimes this is part of the idea for the article like in the case of the odroid vs rpi3.

                                  I just tested out the Dreamcast emulator and also noticed the home button/hotkey was exiting the game.

                                    @eb2016 yes and it is not a bug, bug the normal behavior with this emulator.

                                      Is there a way to change it? Seems a bit risky if you accidentally b*mp that home button that you'll exit your game.

                                        @eb2016 be careful and that should be ok 😄

                                          @rockaddicted Not to sound overbearing on the issue but merely being careful probably isn't the best way. The home button is right in the middle of the controller and common to b*mp and seeing as most people don't stare at their controller while playing games, it'll be an annoying fault for people playing Dreamcast.

                                            Don't have time to work on this kind of "cosmetic" feature for the moment.
