I've got a Mister stack from misteraddons setup inside a bartop right now. I only have 5 buttons I call Start, Select, A, B, and C. When I do the input assignments from the main menu it allows me to define a 2 button combo for the OSD.
What I would like and from researching doesn't seem like a feature yet is the ability to map a 2 button combo to Alt-F12 so I can press Start+Select to do quick core swaps. I know I can switch cores from the OSD but its too many steps for anyone else using the system.
Any reason this isn't a good idea? I'm pretty confident I could figure out how to change the code myself.

Re: Main Menu button mapping for Alt-F12
If you want simplicity, the best is to reset to the menu core.
You can use discrete components (transistors or IC) to make a two/three button combo that triggers the MiSTer physical reset button. Basically one or two AND gates wired to said button.
For example: Start+Select+A triggers a reset. Then for OSD you can map a different combo such as Down and Start.
Edit: switching between cores sometimes result in video corruption, and you have to reset to fix it. So using a physical reset anyway is better if you want something that doesn't need you to be around.
