Map "Menu" to a button

In Retroarch, it’s possible to open the menu by pressing back. But there are a number of handheld Android devices (like the JXD s7300, the GPD G7, and others) that don’t have a proper back button, and require keeping the Android menu bar open, precluding fullscreen.

IS there a way of mapping the menu button to a physical button? Or is this something that can be implemented in the next release? It would sure come in handy.

You mean the GREEN menu?

This is my windows guide but I guess it should work http://www.libretro.com/index.php/wiki/ … ows-guide/

input_menu_toggle_btn = “” opens RGUI (the green menu)

I have never edited the config file by hand on android though

I can’t find the retroarch.cfg file for android. I don’t know where it might be.

Other Android emulators can map functions to buttons very easily. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to do with Retroarch.

It’s not hard… it’s on /data/data/ RA supports many platforms, that’s it’s strength.

I saw a commit that might make that easier for next version.

There’s nothing in my data folder for retroarch at all. Retroarch leaves nothing in there.

Yes, many systems are emulated well by Retroarch. But of what use is that when the current interface makes everything so difficult?

It’s not that it emulates many systems… it works on android, ios, windows, linux, mac, gc, wii, xbox, ps3. Things are getting fixed. It just takes time

Anyway, the cfg is in /data/data/com.retroarch as I mentioned
