Solved Recalbox + iPAC2 + 2 player control

[crimsonblaed]

Hi @Substring, thanks.

I figured it was going to be something like that. Looks like it's back to keyboard emulation.

@crimsonblaed I guess you forgot looking for the wiki https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Keyboard-encoder-configuration-(EN)

[crimsonblaed]

@Substring thanks I found that previously after I had changed to gamepad mode and was hoping I didnt have to remap again.
Anyway all done and both player stations are working.
Just having issues with getting the hotkey working now, which seems to ge a common problem also.

Cheers

OK, so my hotkey is mapped as per the Keyboard encoder configuration (EN) that was linked above (currently Key_V, it tried KEY_3 but that didn't work).
I have the hotkey connected to 1SW8 on the iPAC2, is this correct?

appreciate and Suggestions/answers you can offer, thanks

@Substring Any suggestions please ?

@crimsonblaed mine is mapped as default mapping as seen on ipac's website. Never understood what the mapping on the page was about.

But i'm on a previous version of recalbox so maye it has changed before and i can't help you further.

You shouldtest your buttons with evtest after configuring everything and check that every button is firing an event

[crimsonblaed]

@voljega thanks.

What is evtest? Where would I find it?

[voljega]

@crimsonblaed it's a linux command you must connect to the pi in ssh or open a terminal and type it

[crimsonblaed]

@voljega, ahh cool, thats easy. Ill give it a go. cheers

EDIT: OMG that was just the trick I needed, I have solved my issue and both players are working perfectly. Thanks for your suggestions @voljega they were truly helpful ..

@crimsonblaed noprob had a few weeks of scratching my head myself when I tried to make my ipac2 work, turns out if was just the line in recalbox.conf was doubled
