Controls¶

RetroArch Hotkeys¶

Button Combo	Action
`Function`+`START` ^(x2)	Quit Game
`Function`+`R1`	Save State
`Function`+`L1`	Load State
`Function`+`X(NORTH)`	Open RA Menu
`Function`+`Y(WEST)`	Show FPS
`Function`+`R2`	Fast-Forward

Notes:¶

By default ROCKNIX will detect your controller and configure RetroArch hotkeys automatically. This is controlled by the "AUTOCONFIGURE RETROARCH HOTKEYS" option in the Settings > Controller & Bluetooth menu. While the option is enabled, RetroArch hotkeys will be overwritten by the above defaults each time RetroArch is launched. If this behavior is not desired that option can be disabled and your user-defined RetroArch hotkeys will be used instead.

Mednafen Hotkeys¶

Button Combo	Action
`Function`+`START` ^{(hold for 2sec)}	Quit Game
`Function`+`R1`	Save State
`Function`+`L1` ^{(hold for 2sec)}	Load State
`Function`+`Y(WEST)`	Show FPS
`Function`+`R2`	Fast-Forward

Notes:¶

By default ROCKNIX will expand the configuration file according to the first controller mednafen finds. This only happens when the config file doesn't exist (meaning the first time or if you manually delete it). After the initial expansion you are free to customize the controls.

Mupen64Plus-SA (Nintendo 64)¶

Notes:¶

Z and L button assignment can be changed directly in EmulationStation
- Highlight the game and press X(NORTH)
- Select ADVANCED GAME OPTIONS
- Set EMULATOR to MUPEN64PLUSSA
- Then change INPUT ONFIGURATION
  - Default: L1 = L, L2 = Z
  - Z & L SWAP: L1 = Z, L2 = L
You can also create your own custom controller configuration and add it to /storage/.configs/game/configs/mupen64plussa. Then update INPUT CONFIGURATION to CUSTOM following the same steps as above.

PPSSPP-SA (PSP)¶

HDMI Output¶

Press L1 + START + SELECT while in EmulationStation to swtich between Screen and HDMI output.

While this should work; it doesn't always result in the correct resolution. The best way to get consistent results is to turn off the device, plug in an HDMI cable and reboot.

"Why doesn't hot-plugging just work?"... Hot-plug HDMI switching is a fairly complex action to accomplish and not something we have implemented on any device. If you are a developer and interested in helping to build this functionality please start here: Contribute
