      @eb2016 most people don't get overexcited and kick a button by mistake which is not all near the ones used for playing.

      It never happened to me to click the hotkeybutton by mistake on a xbox360 or ps3 controller, I don't see how it would even be possible while playing, I woukd have to lift my fingers from the buttons I use in play, move one of them right to the middle of the controller and press.

        @voljega I'm curious to as why all the other systems have the exit set up as an 2 button combo then.

          @eb2016 not all of them and because the ones which have that feature are libretro cores, but reicast isn't.

            Indeed 95% of systems are emulated with retroarch which has the combo hotkey+keys sortcuts feature.
            Other systems are emulated by standalone emulator which in most of the cases don't have this feature.
            In the best case we can map a gamepad button to exit, but often we can't and the only way to do it using a keyboard...
            Si that needs to patch, rewrite the source code of each emulator (if possible) to manage the hotkey feature.
            That requires, programming skills, time, tests and time.
