(Q): How to map the "System back" option to a button on gamepad?

[Redmigamer]

hi all,
a cool feature that was added recently to dolphin for andriod was the


"Android: Use Back to open the emulation menu on all devices"

which is rather niet and works great,
but how can this be mapped to a gamepad button?

on MMJ, there is a "system back" option for mapping a button to,
but i cant seem to find an option for this in the dev version of dolphin

any way to do this on a gamepad? or add the feature in a future andriod update of dolphin?

thanx

There currently isn't a way to do this (unless Android already has mapped one of the gamepad buttons to Back for you). Thanks for letting me know though, I didn't know that this was something people would want until you mentioned it.

hmm, MMJ has this feature, the dev version does not (or i can't seem to find it),
but having this niet feature to map any button for system back on a gamepad to launch the menu (for load/saving) is rather useful and quick to do,

this would also eliminate the need to swipe the touch screen for accessing the menu,
not sure if this would be possible in a future update to add in?

also the latest verion of dolphin or as of 5.0-12606 the save states from previous versions don't work,
as i tried multiple games that i had states for and couldn't load them, good thing i had hard saves for games

from 5.0-12600 and before states would work fine reguqrdless of the update.

aonther thing i noicted in version 12625 is that some games that had issues beofre now seem to work alot better
for some reason, eg shadow the hegiog, metriod prime 2, etc.

not sure if adding the widescreenhack to some games makes them play alot better?
