      Hi. So I recently loaded up Recalbox and configured my USB controllers (arcade button kit). A B X Y L R Start and Select all working for both players. I also set up a dedicated Hotkey button, but whenever I try to use any of the Hotkey Combos it never works with my dedicated button and only works on the Select buttons, how do i fix this? Please and Thanks

          @OyyoDams It's a USB encoder from a kit that came with arcade buttons and joysticks and then plugs into the Pi through USB.

            @nero ok. Your "dedicated" button is mapped to which button ?

              @oyyodams I have it set up as a seperate button in the top-centre of my control panel. It's plugged into K8 on this diagram and in the controller configuration screen it says it's mapped to "Button 7"

                @nero ok please try again:

                • setup the hotkey on this button
                • make a support archive and post the link here

                  Did you configured both players ?
                  I think you must configure only one player...
                  I think if you configure second player without hotkey, it will erase first player...

                    @zetof The configuration menu won't let me setup without a hotkey so P2 hotkey is set to P2 Select

                      @nero no, you must NOT configure a hotkey to P2. Please bypass it.

                        @oyyodams It won't let me bypass, it says input required, I can't skip it I pressed down on the P1 joystick and it allowed me to bypass it. I now only have hotkey setup for P1

                          @OyyoDams So i now have it only configured for hotkey for P1 and not P2, it still only works with Select. I'm not entirely sure how to make a support archive but hopefully this is what you mean

                              @oyyodams I pressed "Launch Script" in the "Support" tab and it says "Internal Server Error"

                                @nero in this case you can try by ssh, but please upload the archive file, not the script 🙂

                                  @oyyodams I'm really sorry, I'm very new to this, and as such I simply don't know how to do that. If i connect via ssh, what do I type in to get the archive file. Sorry to seem ignorant I'm just very new to recalbox.

                                    Reconfigure only player 1 with your dedicated hotkey.
                                    Do not configure player 2.
                                    And it will work.
