Hotkeys not working since update to 3.9

[cathaldub]

I'm sure I read a fix for this but can't find it in the search
P1+BTN1 for credit, P1 for 3 seconds to esc, etc

That's odd. I don't remember hearing of any issue with it before... Is it everywhere or just a particular emulator?
Have you edited /boot/hotkeys.ini or /boot/run.sh at all? They should be the only files effecting the hotkeys operation.

Oddly enough they work on the SNES Emu. I’m gonna have another look now.

This is what my hotkeys.ini file looks like

Code: Select all

# Hotkeys config file
# Only player 1 controls can be used at this time
# To disable a shortcut delete the line, do not comment it out
# Limited joystick axis support as follows
# Joystick down = Y1,  joystick right = X1,  NO SUPPORT FOR UP OR LEFT
# JAMMA buttons map to Xbox button names as follows 
# B1 = A,  B2 = B,  B3 = BLACK,  B4 = Y,  B5 = X,  B6 = WHITE,  Start = START
#examples of other options available
# add a coin 2 shortcut
START+B=key:KEY_6
# use P1 Start + Button 3 to exit emulators
# START+BLACK=key:KEY_ESC

[ui-axismap]
START+Y1=key:KEY_P

[ui-buttonmap]
START=BTN_START:KEY_ESC:5000
START+A=key:KEY_5
START+WHITE=key:KEY_F1

# EOF #

and my run.sh

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash

## Setup dispmanx for SDL1.2
export SDL_DISPMANX_IGNORE_RATIO=1
clear

## Redirect audio to RPi analog output rather than HDMI
#amixer cset numid=3 1

## Now loading message
/boot/nowloadn.sh

## Start hotkeys
hotkeys start

## If you want to auto load a game put it here
#/boot/launchers/advmame.sh simpsons >/dev/null 2>&1

## Scan roms for Attract-Mode list
## accepts 1 command 'all' 'arcade' 'console' 'acnoporn' or 'allnoporn'
bash /boot/launchers/ScanRoms_V007.sh allnoporn >/dev/null 2>&1

## Bugfix for SDL2.0 keyboard input to terminal bug for a cleaner Attract-Mode
stty -echo

## Launch Attact-Mode (games list)
attract >/dev/null 2>&1

## Launch Attact-Mode again (service menu)
attract -c /home/pi/.attractsm/ >/dev/null 2>&1

## Restore terminal keyboard output for a usable terminal
stty sane

## AdvanceMenu frontend 
## NOTE: AdvMenu is now considered  depreciated so the config file is out of date, some config will be required to use AdvMenu
## If you want to use AdvanceMenu disable all romscanning scripts as they are not used by AdvanceMenu
#/home/pi/.advance/advmenu >/dev/null 2>&1

Weird, I just hashed this out and it's fine now
START+B=key:KEY_6
to
#START+B=key:KEY_6

good stuff, that was the only thing I could see that seemed odd. Glad it fixed it.

If you do want the extra coin shortcut it needs to be added to the [ui-buttonmap] section.
