How do you get to the Duckstation settings? I am using it and it will not let me exit out by pressing select+start.

I hooked up a keyboard, but it will not let me access anything.

You need to assign a hotkey in EmulationStation and when you are in Duckstation standalone its the hotkey.

I’ve noticed that there is no auto controller config for duckstation standalone so I created one. 🙂

It’s currently in testing for more information see:

> To enable:
> 1. SSH in and copy set\_duckstation\_joy.sh in /emuelec/bin.
> 2. Add duckstation\_auto\_gamepad=1 in emuelec.conf. like so:
> \`\`\`
> echo "duckstation\_auto\_gamepad=1" \>\> /emuelec/configs/emuelec.conf
> \`\`\`
> Good luck testing and thanks.
