RetroPad buttons not working in menus (latest git)

Hi,

Just installed the git version of RetroArch on Arch Linux from AUR; noticed that I can no longer use the A and B buttons (X and Z respectively on the keyboard) to navigate the menus, I have to you Enter and Backspace. In game controls appear to work fine as expected.

Does anyone know if this is deliberate? Thought I’d ask before I raise a Github issue.

Thanks!

It is deliberate. Retropad buttons should still work, just the keyboard mapping is hardcoded to enter/backspace (this was demanded by the NOOBS people to get Lakka included in their installer). In the latest code, there’s an option in the settings to go back the old behavior (“unified mapping” or something like that)

Thanks hunterk, Unified Menu Controls (says “Use the same controls for both the menu and the game. Applies to the keyboard”) is what I was looking for.
