      Hi everyone,

      I recently set up an arcade system using an eight-button Pandora's Box connected to a Raspberry Pi 3 running Recalbox. Overall, everything is working well, but I've hit a snag with the Select and Start buttons.

      Here's the issue:

      Select and Start buttons work individually: Both buttons function as expected when pressed separately. For example, I can use Select to add credits and Start to begin a game.
      Select + Start together not working: When I try to press Select and Start together to open the Recalbox menu, nothing happens. This combination should normally bring up the Recalbox menu, but it doesn't.
      Things I've Tried:
      Recalbox Configuration: I've checked the controller configuration in Recalbox, and everything seems to be mapped correctly.
      Wiring Check: Double-checked the wiring to ensure there are no loose connections or crossed wires.
      Rebooting: Restarted both the Pi3 and Recalbox multiple times.
      Questions:
      Has anyone else encountered this issue with a similar setup?
      Are there any specific settings in Recalbox that I might be overlooking?
      Could this be a firmware issue with the Pandora's Box or a compatibility issue with the Pi3?
      Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’m really looking forward to getting this resolved so I can fully enjoy my arcade system.
