Suggestion: retroarch configuration changes

[Oskari Rauta]

What happened?

I suggest 2 minor changes to retroarch configuration.

-input_exit_emulator_btn = "3"
+input_exit_emulator_btn = "nul"

This configuration option disables feature which exits emulator with combination START+SELECT which quite often seems to accidentally happen at least on RG280v.

-quit_on_close_content = "0"
+quit_on_close_content = "1"

This option exits retroarch when content is closed. Mostly retroarch is started for specific rom from SimpleMenu - and this way, one can exit emulation from quickmenu by closing content making switching games easier/faster.

---

Other changes that I have made to my configuration maybe are not that much something that would be added to public distribution; but for curiosity, here goes:

-global_core_options = "false"
+global_core_options = "true"
-menu_show_latency = "true"
+menu_show_latency = "false"
-menu_show_rewind = "true"
+menu_show_rewind = "false"
-menu_timedate_date_separator = "0"
+menu_timedate_date_separator = "2"
-menu_timedate_style = "11"
+menu_timedate_style = "10"
-playlist_sublabel_last_played_style = "0"
+playlist_sublabel_last_played_style = "10"
-quick_menu_show_add_to_favorites = "true"
+quick_menu_show_add_to_favorites = "false"
-quick_menu_show_controls = "true"
+quick_menu_show_controls = "false"
-quick_menu_show_information = "true"
-quick_menu_show_options = "true"
+quick_menu_show_information = "false"
+quick_menu_show_options = "false"
-quick_menu_show_save_load_state = "true"
+quick_menu_show_save_load_state = "false"
-quick_menu_show_start_recording = "true"
-quick_menu_show_start_streaming = "true"
+quick_menu_show_start_recording = "false"
+quick_menu_show_start_streaming = "false"
-rgui_menu_color_theme = "16"
+rgui_menu_color_theme = "15"
-rgui_particle_effect = "5"
+rgui_particle_effect = "3"
-rgui_particle_effect_speed = "1.500000"
+rgui_particle_effect_speed = "1.100000"

Following options suppress quick menu to contain less options for un-cluttering of menu, full options available if you exit quick menu, I also chose to use global configuration, and made some changes to appearance.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I consider it a problem to make changes to navigation and important key shortcuts like that at this moment. If I had to start I would probably make different decisions about these and other topics. But currently making such changes today would surely annoy a lot of users.

Opinion appreciated, but I am pretty sure that you should at least consider avoiding emulator exiting without any notification when pressing start+select at same time. If something is annoying, it would be that if you’ve made progress and accidentally press both buttons and you are back to square one.. And before I changed that, it happened already too many times. Worth looking for it. At least on RG280v this happens very easily.
