Controller start button opens emulator menu

Gamepad acting up? Keyboard not responding properly? Can't get that other user to work? Read and post about it here.

Controller start button opens emulator menu

Post by Kinne »

I can't find any options to turn this off. I can't pause or skip cutscenes because every time I try to, the emulator menu opens. And no, I don't have joy2key or anything else like that open. Nothing has mapped the start button to esc, because if that was the case, I could close GUI windows by pressing start (I can't). Using a logitech cordless precision ps3 controller.

Try the GUI keybinds dialog, it allows you to set (or unset) keys or joypad buttons to various GUI actions, including opening the GUI from the game.

None of them were set to start button. I posted here when I gave up trying to find the problem, and a little while later, I accidentally pressed L3, and got a keyboard. It turned out steam big picture was using controller inputs despite having neither big picture nor a steam game open. I finally found the options to change it, hidden away like you would expect from valve, and stopped big picture from using desktop inputs.

Oh! It was the Steam Big Picture pause screen, not the emulator! Oops. Feel free to share that, I can't think of the exact steps off hand, but I could probably try to hit up a search engine, now that you've mentioned what to search for.
