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

good deal, is there a way to make the start button double as credit across all the arcade emulators??

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.
