Hi,
I installed retroarch on my openelec HTPC and I am using it to play snes e genesis games. I would like to use it for playing CPS1 and 2 games… currently it is working, but I cannot access the service menu of the machine in order to change game difficulty, enable free play, disable turbo and so on.
How can I configure my retroarch.cfg in order to use such buttons?
I am using this build of openelec (generic):

you must go to RGUI, core options and toggle diagnostics mode
But when I choose core options it says that there is no options available.
For CPS2 at least works here
Maybe I am doing it in the wrong way…
Firstly, I open the retroarch menu using the following command:
retroarch -c /PATHTOCONFIGFILE --menu
Then I choose the core: first option “Core”… I choose fb_alpha
After that: I go to the fourth option “Core Options”… and I have a message that there is no options available.
Do I have to load the game first? If yes, how can I come back to retroarch menu from the game?
When I do the exit command it leaves the game and it does not come back to menu. I exit retroarch pressing two buttons simultaneously, just as shown bellow:
“input_enable_hotkey_btn = 8” “input_exit_emulator_btn = 9”
The default hotkey for the RGUI menu is F1.
Is there a way to map it to the controller, using a combination of keys just as I do to exit the emulator?
Thank you very much for your support.
Yeah, I think you can set it just like you did the other one. That is, hotkey button + map.
But what is the code for the menu? For the exit, it is
input_exit_emulator_btn

You DO have to load a game first and then return to game.
Also the option is somewhat broken… it’s not enable / disable, it’s more like a toggle, if you change it it you will enter the menu
input_menu_toggle = “”
Thank you. It worked perfectly… I also configured a shortcut to menu into my joypad.
