Retroarch / assign hotkey to D-pad

[bradipo666]

Hi all!

I've enabled hotkeys whit "enter" and I have set hotkey to D-pad (up arrow -> load state; down-arrow -> save state) but does not work 

Is there a way to do it? thanks

wait what button are you using for a hold hotkey on your controller

I'm using a keyboard encoder on bartop. I have set ->input hotkeys binds->enable hotkeys on ENTER

[DOS76]

so this is a separate controller your using with it with a dpad? if so set a hot key with the controller also it will take an imput form the keyboard and controller. if you press the button that is equivalent to enter on the bartop and the d-pad at the same time  it isn't working?

no, nothing happens...

It is a keyboard encoder like i-pac2 (smartASD https://www.webasd.com/public/foto/ASD261D/ASD261D_Foto2.jpg) inside a bartop with joystick&buttons.

If I trying to remap d-pad like this:

 

User 1 up D-pad  --> keypad8 (↑)

User 1 down D-pad  --> keypad2 (↓)

User 1 left D-pad  --> keypad4 (←)

User 1 right D-pad  --> keypad6 (→)

 

directional keys does not work .. (only work by default) I can't remap d-pad

Currently, the only "solution" is to keep d-pad by default setting and assign hotkeys, not to directional keys, but at the others buttons/keys so I can save state (for example with combo ENTER + B button)

Do you have any idea to fix it?

No I'm not sure what to do I have a 2 joystick encoders in my bartop and I use my coin button as the hotkey and when I hold that button and press the 5 button it save and 6 button loads. All of my button combos works maybe some one with keyboard encoders may be able to help.

Thanks for you reply. I try to explain it better

I would like to do this:

1) ENTER = enable hotkeys

2) SAVE STATE =  "ENTER" + DOWN D-pad

3) LOAD STATE = "ENTER" + UP D-pad

Okay but you have a bartop do you have a dpad or just the analog joystick?

[bradipo666]

I have two digital joysticks but the problem also occurs using a normal keyboard  Can you remap the keys as below?

1) ENTER = enable hotkeys

2) SAVE STATE =  "ENTER" + arrows down

3) LOAD STATE = "ENTER" + arrows up

in this way, I can understand if the problem is encoder or RA...

help

[bradipo666]

@DOS76 can you help me out?

[DOS76]

I don't know what else I can tell you boss I'm out of ideas and I don't have the hardware to play with and figure it out.

[bradipo666]

I've found solution: in RA 1.6 I have changed driver input to RAW. Now works [emoji106]
