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 on the SNES controller. On modern controllers, this is Back (Xbox), View (Xbox One), Share (PS4) and various others.

Button combos

The following button combos are available:

  • 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

In-game menu

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