@echdaron This is solved by the override .cfg - created one with a single value (under /recalbox/share) and called it .retroarch.cfg...

Hi there,

I had some issues with my controller (NES30 Pro) but discovered it has something to do with the option to configure the settings from within Recalbox.

So, as I wanted to change the default hotkey button (set at '13' - which is the press on the left joystick) and change it to '10' (the SELECT button), I went into the CLI :

1. found the .cfg under /recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch (retroarchcustom.cfg)
2. vi'd the setting (changed it to '10'), saved it, rebooted the Pi and noticed that it was back at '13' (input_enable_hotkey_btn)
3. tried to change it via the Retroarch menu (press '13' and the B button), entered '10' as the hotkey, saved it as the main config, rebooted and it stayed at '13'.

Anyone having any ideas please?
thanks!

Small update : saw this posting : https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/27603/8-1-issues-on-my-pi-4/8 - mod was suggesting an option override... Will try it later but it's still strange that the changes are not being saved/kept. Even in CLI...

Hi there,

I gave Recalbox a try yesterday and I loved it - great UI and it seems to be nicely configured out of the box. I was also able to immediately link my 8bitdo NES30 Pro (oldy but still love it) and went to bed.

This morning, I noticed that my NES30 Pro doesn't link automatically when Recalbox is started - as the FW on the NES30 is currently at 4.1, I can only assume it's just pushing the ON button until the blue lights flash? And if a connection is made, it slowly pulses?
Tried switching it on during several stages of the boot process but alas... I can only use it when I reconnect it again using the Bluetooth pairing.

Other problem : something goes 'wrong' with connection? I start a game, am able to play it but as soon as I enter the Retroarch menu or press the hotkey (SELECT in my case), all the inputs 'freeze' (not even the keyboard works) - I have to switch my NES30 off (Recalbox states that the controller is disconnected) and after that, I can use the keyboard again (and I can use my NES30 again after I switch it on).

Testing was done with the latest Recalbox and on a Raspberry 4.

thanks for any pointers/help
