Tips on exiting certain emulators with a button press or a combination of button presses.

Im looking to recreate the emulation station hotkey setup where Start + Select closes out your current emulator and brings you back to Bigbox. I had this working with RetroArch before but never could figure out how to do it with Dolphin or PPSSPP. Anyone got any tips?

Use Controller Automation. It has to be configured in both Launchbox and Big Box.

In Launchbox it's in Tools -> Options -> Input -> Gamepad/Joystick -> Automation. You need to enable automation and then indicate a key to "hold" and then another button to combine with it for different functions. In your case "Close the active window":

I can make the current game exit in Dolphin but then get a prompt "Do you want to stop current emulation" I cannot get back to Big Box till hitting yes on Keyboard. Is there any way to get around this?? I want to exit back to Bix Box directly from Gamepad without keyboard being needed.
