So I made a save in-game, exited cleanly back to ES, reloaded my game and had a save waiting for me and .srm file saved to my ROMS folder. Thanks for all the help floob!

Alright so I added the lines

input_enable_hotkey_btn = “7”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “6”

to my controller file, and upon reboot I was able to use start+select to exit back into EmulationStation. I’m going to go start a new file in Earthbound and save in game and see if a .srm is created after exiting cleanly.

If I added input_exit_emulator_btn =
to this file would I be able to list both start and select buttons 6 and 7 as exit buttons? I can use escape on my keyboard to exit emulation station but my ultimate goal for my RetroPie is to be able to primarily use the controller once I have everything completely set up for the most part.

Well in my file for my controller I have these lines here

input_device = “USB,2-axis 8-button gamepad ”
input_driver = “udev”
input_b_btn = “1”
input_y_btn = “3”
input_select_btn = “6”
input_start_btn = “7”
input_up_axis = “-1”
input_down_axis = “+1”
input_left_axis = “-0”
input_right_axis = “+0”
input_a_btn = “0”
input_x_btn = “2”
input_l_btn = “4”
input_r_btn = “5”

Alright I’m guessing my issue is more with how I am exiting my game then actual permissions. I guess my next question would be how are you exiting back to EmulationStation? I use a SNES Buffalo USB Gamepad controller that I setup using the RetroArch setup and start+select does not work for me as it does for others.

Forgive me for my noobiness but how do you write permissions? I’m trying to get .srm files to be created automatically for Earthbound (am using Retropie and Emulationstation), but so far I have not had any luck… :s
