Hi there,

I’m trying for a week to exit retroarch emulator with my xbox 360 controller by adding

input_enable_hotkey_btn = 8
input_exit_emulator_btn = 9

to my retroarch.cfg file but it’s not working when I hold select+start buttons.
Below this is my retroarch.cfg :

## Skeleton config file for RetroArch

# This will be overridden by explicit command line options.
# savefile_directory =

# This will be overridden by explicit command line options.

# RetroArch will automatically load any savestate with this path on startup if savestate_auto_load is set.
# savestate_auto_save = false
# savestate_auto_load = true

# Load libretro from a dynamic location for dynamically built RetroArch.
# This option is mandatory.

# that appears to support the extension of the ROM loaded.

# libretro_path = "/path/to/libretro.so"

Could you tell me if you see something wrong in it ? Do you have a solution to help me make this option working ?

Thanks for any reply
best regards
