Controls

RetroArch Hotkeys

Button Combo Action
SELECT+START (x2) Quit Game
SELECT+R1 Save State
SELECT+L1 Load State
SELECT+Y(NORTH) Open RA Menu
SELECT+A(SOUTH) Reset Game
SELECT+X(WEST) Show FPS
SELECT+B(EAST) Take Screenshot

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.

Installation

This family has WiP status. Release kinda works, but needs manual intervention.
Use the image and instructions from Custom build. Basic flashing instructions are on the Install page.
