I've tried to search but help all seem from a while ago.

Is there a way to swap the X and O buttons in RetroArch please, I keep forgetting when in other apps etc.

Thanks

Go into ux0:/data/retroarch/ in vitashell
Open retroarch.cfg
Scroll down until you find both
menu_ok_btn="8"
menu_cancel_btn="0"
Swap the numbers and voila.
Ok should be 0
And cancel should be 8

Thanks for detailed reply I'll have a go, appreciate it as I say I'm new and keep pressing wring button!
Sure no problem!
And i literally found out this was possible today lol
It was only because of your post that i went digging in the retroarch.cfg
Before that i thought since it wasn't in the retroarch app settings i thought switching x and o was impossible.

Is the Vita version of Retroarch outdated as recent builds have a X/O swap option in settings?
I'm not sure where it's at compared to other consoles/devices, i didn't see the option in settings though. It was in the .cfg so it should be popping up in settings right?

I have the latest stable version installed and only thing i can think is maybe it's an oversight or bug in an update somewhere because if i recall correctly a much older version had the option in settings, but somewhere along the updates it just disappeared.

Unless it's just me, it's not present in the vita version, i had to do it through the config.
