ALIE Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 In RetroArch I use the M keyboard key to bring up the core menu. In works in all other tested cores but not here. It is set in this core as well has anyone ever seen this happen before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 "M" is the default keyboard key for "Next Shader" perhaps you have it bound to both things and it's conflicting. Personally I just stick with the default "F1" to bring up the menu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Windows does use F1 for the Help but when Retroarch is loaded it doesn't do that, it pulls up the RA Menu screen. Even if I put RA into windowed mode F1 still brings up the menu. By the sounds of it something extremely weird and out of the ordinary is going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember not being able to use F1 for the menu. guess i just stopped trying wonder if its my keyboard I just realized F1 has this weird picture that my old wired doesn't.

Lordmonkus Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Very strange, F1 has always worked for me on more than a few systems and builds of RA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well guess I unintentionally found the answer to my issue. I tried F1 on my wired keyboard out the square on the key. And it works guess it's my strange Microsoft wireless keyboard that has been messing with me for so long ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Maybe your wireless keyboard has that key pulling double duty and the you have to press another key like "Fn" to get the "F1" to work, like on laptops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIE Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Yah probably something stupid like that. Gonna look for a better wireless keyboard needed one anyway. Bye the way it's Logitech not Microsoft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIE Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 googled it and it seems like there might be a software from them that can reprogram it removing their stupid key function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, that made me check my wireless Logitech keyboard (K400r) and its F1 key is shared, the F1 is coloured blue and you have to press and hold the FN key that key which is located beside the Windows key. I loaded up a game in Retroarch is just pressing F1 on its own simply minimized RA but pressing and holding the FN key and then pressing F1 while FN is held brought up the RA menu. Of course this is with the default settings of RA so make sure yours is still set that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
