disable config menu and pause shortcuts

Post by cymaltek » Tue Feb 12, 2019 7:05 pm

Is there a way to disable right joystick and start to access the config menu or down start for game pause? Often I accidentally bring up the menu and pause.

Absolutely.

The shortcuts can be changed in /boot/hotkeys.ini, if you delete these 2 lines it should do what you want:
START+X1=key:KEY_TAB
START+Y1=key:KEY_P

Not without going into each emulator and setting it that way manually. The closest you have is the start+b1 combo.

I guess you could change the exit shortcut and use long hold start for credit though.

Would I be able to move exit with button held down to the credit button? I'm not sure what credit would be called when I add the line?

In a slightly related topic, is there a way to increase the length of time the start button needs to held down to quit?

Absolutely.

In /boot/hotkeys.ini find this bit:
START=BTN_START:KEY_ESC:1500
and make the 1500 a larger number to increase how long it needs to be held down to exit.

Thanks! I figured that number set the duration, but wanted to confirm.
