Quick Menu

The Quick Menu is effectively RetroArch's pause menu.

Controls

The Quick Menu can be accessed by pressing a certain gamepad combination, pressing the F1 key on your keyboard, or tapping on the "Invader" or "Menu" button on most Gamepad Overlays.

The RetroPad button combination for opening the Quick Menu can be changed at Settings>Input> Hotkeys> Menu Toggle. Users select the combination from a list (Custom combinations cannot the applied): * None * Done + Y + L1 + R1 * L3 + R3 * L1 + R1 + Start + Select * Start + Select * L3 + R1 * L1 + R1 * Hold Start (2 seconds) * Hold Select (2 seconds) * Down + Select * L2 + R2

Features

The Quick Menu provides access to many core-specific settings and options while the content is paused in the background. Options include (but are not limited to) adjusting the video resolution and system region, remapping controller inputs, managing Load/Save States, cheats or shaders, and taking screenshots or recording video clips.

Close Content

The most important function exclusive to the Quick Menu (aside from Resume Content) is Close Content. This safely 'shuts off' the emulated system and its content, returning the user to RetroArch's main menu without having to quit RetroArch completely.

Disc Control

Another "exclusive" function that appears with certain cores is swapping discs using the Disc Control option: See Disc Swapping.
