In Kodi, game playback can be controlled similar to movies. Pause, rewind and fast-forward are possible if supported by the emulator.


Button combo reminder

Kodi uses button combos inspired by RetroPie (see RetroPie documentation). A reminder is shown the first time a game is played:

The help dialog

To open the game menu, press the buttons on your controller that best match Select + X as they appear on the SNES controller. On modern controllers, the Select button is called Back (Xbox), View (Xbox One), Share (PS4) and various others.


Button combos

Games in Kodi can be controlled with the following button combos:

Button combo Player action
Select + X Pause/resume
Select + Start Exit
Select + Left trigger Rewind
Select + Right trigger Fast-forward
Select + Right stick Change volume
Hold Start Pause/resume

The in-game menu allows for some basic playback controls and shows the button combos.
