Henderson33 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hi, for some reason when i enter a game that uses retroarch through hyperspin i cant get the retroarch menu up using the green button on the joypad. I have to force close hyperspin. If i go direct through retroarch the menu works fine. Is there a way to reset all button configs without having to uninstall and reinstall retroarch? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Mingmong I don't know of a way round this. Unless you have root access. Or maybe you could try plugging a sub keyboard in and trying that to get in the menus with that Have you set any hot keys up? I'm sure you have tried all the buttons but if you set a hot key for enable hotkeys the you need to press that first before the shield button. If you do uninstall I suggest changing your directories in both hyperspin retroarch and normal retroarch to a folder you can access. It is doable just needs a little time to sort out.

badhemi Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 If I'm in a game thru hyperspin I have to hit the back button to Go in retroarch. If im in retroarch messing around with a game not thru hyperspin ibhave to hit green button twice. I changed the got keys to pressing the right stick down to get out of game and back to hyperspin. Go in settings then to input then to hit keys Then look for exit retroarch. Then it's your choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henderson33 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks for the replies. I have tried every combo possible. I did set enable hotkey as press right stick like badhemi but for some reason no combo using right stick will work. Looks like reinstalling is looking like the only way. thatman84 what do you mean by "If you do uninstall I suggest changing your directories in both hyperspin retroarch and normal retroarch to a folder you can access"?? How do i do that? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do i do that? Thank you So I had a play around and as soon as I enable hotkeys (I did right thumb) it won't let me enter the menus with the shield button. Not had any time to see what button combos will work. I editted my core config file and turned off enable hotkeys Mingmong. I mean if you can't sort your problem and do uninstall. I have changed where all the retroarch files save to so I can access them. I can edit the .cfg files if I make a mistake. It's worth doing. There is another thread on here about controls I did a mini guide but didn't work for the that person. I assume you have a file explorer. On first open of retroarch (not through hyperspin) Don't update anything Go to settings and directory have a look at the paths create folders to match on your shield (I put mine in com.retroarch/files) except core/core info & cache Go back to retroarch change your directories to the new folders Go online updater and update everything except cores Now all the retroarch files are easy to access I'll do some better detail in this soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Got it to work with R2 as enable hockey & shield button have to do it twice and quickly. Mine really didn't like using the thumb stick as enable hotkey. But only with the shield button. The exit combo of both thumb sticks works fine!

badhemi Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I don't know why you guys are having problems. If you are in hyperspin and want to go to retroarch menu you have to hit back button. If you are in retroarch playing around you have to hit the green button twice fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in retroarch playing around you have to hit the green button twice fast Try changing your enable hotkey to a thumb stick and you will see the problem. I want to use the back button and thumb sticks for games I play not for menus and exit. So need a combo to get out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badhemi Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I do have mine set to the right stick. If I push it in it exits game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 That sounds like the quit retroarch hotkey If you set an "enable hotkey" then you press that first then your right stick to quit. That is where the shield button problems start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badhemi Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm confused. My setup works perfect. I must me missing something. I like my setup. It works great to exit game and hit shield button twice to get retroarch menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do i do that? Thank you Not sure if I'm confused now! If you press right stick only at anytime retroarch quits back to hyperspin wheel? If you hit back button only on hyperspin launched games you get the retroarch menu right. When playing through retroarch only (not hyperspin) you hit shield button you get the menu. If that's all correct then I think you have 2 sets of config files and you don't have "enable hotkey" setup. If not we'll I don't know:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatman84 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Which one the regular, debug or develop Not sure which one, guessing latest nightly normal the autoconfig folder is locked to the root folder structure. If you can't get at it you would need to follow some of my other posts about changing your directories under RA settings directory. Once you have changed the directory before closing go to online updater and update autoconfig. It then downloads all the files RA uses to your new directories. (You have to create the folders, I put all mine in com.retroarch/files) Best to do this in regular RA first then just change your Hyperspin RA directories I think if you try in HS it won't update until you save on exit. Then if you open up again it won't see any files so you will be stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
