Single button binding for modifier combo

[janky-jayne]

I have an internal LaserBear mod kit in my GameCube.

I like the feature where I can set a button combo to do things like shutting down the console, resetting wired controllers, etc. However, I am frustrated by the need for 4 unique buttons to be pressed to activate it! It usually takes me 3-5 tries to successfully turn off the console. I think the default is something like L+R+Start+A or something crazy. This is hard to remember and the GC doesn't even have that many buttons so, I could easily just use any one of the many available unbound buttons instead!

I'd like it if I could either:

1. Set the same button to all 4 combo actions or,
2. If you only set 1 or 2 combo buttons, that is all that is needed.

In my use case, I'd like to use the Capture button on a Switch controller, or the PlayStation button, or the Home button to activate the combo feature. This way, I could do something simple like Capture+Home to turn my system off, or Capture++ to pair a new controller.

Please add something like this! It would make me very happy and would be super useful.

Hi
This is how I make a button combination (disconnect all controllers):

1. Go to https://blueretro.io/advance.html

2. Sync your Blueretro module

3. Locate the Source tab and select PS4/PS5 controller. Select GameCube as the label.

4. Go to the end of the button configuration list and press (+). Add as many lines as the number of buttons used in the combination you want to create.

5. For example, for the EXIT function, you need to add four lines for the PS button (R + Z + B + D-Pad Down).
   It would look like this:
   .
   .
   .
   PS---- R
   PS---- Z
   PS---- B
   PS---- D-Pad Down
   (save)

6. Press Save and it will automatically save.

7. On a PS4/PS5 controller, L1, SHARE, R3, and L3 buttons are available for other combinations.

For other on/off functions, I have no help; it must be more electronic, like using a relay.

So, if I have my combo set to L+R+Z+B, and I set the Capture button to output to each of those actions, it will still trigger the combo?

yes

Yo, this did not work. I set the Switch "Capture" button to D-pad up, down, left, right and then set different buttons for poweroff, pair, reset. Doesn't work as intended. I also tried setting capture and combo to L R X Y, also didn't work.

Can we please just get it so if there is only 1 combo button in the list, that is all that is needed to trigger the combo? That would make life a whole lot easier. And/or if you could just directly set the same button as the input on all 4 combo items. This is janky as hell and also not working for me at all. Would make things a lot more straightforward to users.

EDIT: It also doesn't matter which button I set to trigger the action itself, which buttons I set for the combo, etc. Using a single button doesn't work for me. I'm even using the GC GamePad Tester homebrew app to ensure all 4 buttons are firing and they are. Doesn't matter. None of the actions are working, not reset, poweroff, connect controller, wired reset. It's not working at all. Please, please just make is so we can have a single-button combo by removing combo 2, 3, 4, or set the capture or PS button, etc. to all 4!!
