Can't use FBA custom configuration

[lcapone32]

Anyone helping here? I guess it should be something trivial, but I haven't found the solution in the docs or searching in the forum.

@lcapone32 lemme check

It does work the way intended. Can you do a hastebin of your recalbox.conf please ? are you sure the file you're referencing do exist ?

[lcapone32]

Sure!

recalbox.conf
https://hastebin.com/uxizififil.php

/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/inputs/fba_custom.cfg (with 666 permissions)
https://hastebin.com/uhayulalaj.ini

@lcapone32 looks like someone decided to go full keyboard lol

Well, it does work. Regarding your case, there was a fba-libretro bug for a while as the expected configfile would not match the system name. But anyway, it should work for neogeo at least

[lcapone32]

@substring Thanks! I only want to use it for fba_libretro. The multiple system overrides in the config are only failed attempts to make it work. Do you know what version of Recalbox / fba_libretro fixes this bug?

[lcapone32]

And... any trick I can do meanwhile? I have a cabinet with the buttons mapped to the keyboard, so I really need the keys configured to be able to play.

[Substring]

@lcapone32 we could consider a trick if you can force your "keyboard" (is it an encoder ?) To strictly follow the mame crappy mapping as seen on xarcade devices. This all depends on your experience with linux

[lcapone32]

@substring But the cabinet uses Mame keys!
Mame works great with no need of a customization, it's fba_libretro who doesn't follow that mapping and uses the default retroarch keys.

@lcapone32 juste tell me : does neogeo work with a custom configfile ? Because it should.

Have you tried fbalibretro.configfile ?

[lcapone32]

@Substring Ok, now I'm feeling very stupid. Yes, I had not tried using "fbalibretro", and it worked perfectly.

Thank you very much!

@lcapone32 you can't feel stupid as it wasn't working the right way, as i told you on my forst post in your topic. Take care once 4.1 is out, you'll have to switch back to fba_libretro
