IPAC 2 and extra buttons (ESC etc)

[Colin Williams]

Hi,

I'm running an iPAC2 in a custom box with Recalbox 4b5. Buttons for both players work perfectly including coin, p1&p2 buttons...

My problems is that I can't get hotkeys, ESC, select, enter etc working...which means I have to run the box with a keyboard attached just to exit a game

Is mapping the additional buttons I've added to my controller possible? I've checked with WinIpac utility and the missing buttons are all mapped appropriately to the extra outputs on the IPAC (i.e., 1A, 1B, 2A & 2B) and if I test these, they send appropriate key presses...I just can't figure out how to get Recalbox to register them?

Thanks for any help

Thanks. That got my "ESC" key combo working

I might just look at putting an additional IPAC2 in the cab and install the "keyboard" firmware on that so that I can connect my utility buttons directly to it.

@Colin-Williams why not use hotkey instead of esc ?
And why the enter button ? Computer games ?
