@zing many thanks for such a detailed response. For now I have put the IPAC in to dual controller mode and everything seems to be working fine. I will work my way through those links to find a more permanent solution.

Thank you.

Hi,

I am an amateur, but I have installed the Retropie edition several times, without any problem with my joystick / IPAC2.

Being French, I said to myself, let's test a French product. Honestly, the RecalBox interface is really cool, but the simple configuration of a joystick kit on a Bartop with the IPAC2 usb interface is really a hassle.

I flashed my RecalBox several times on my SDCARD to be sure to leave on a fresh installation, and did many tests, without success. The behavior is as follows, I configure my joystick and its buttons without any problem in the RecalBox interface, I access all the menus.
But as soon as I launch a game (in this case those provided automatically, for example nintendo) the start or select button is not effective, and of course the hotkey does not work either.

I read all the forums, all the references to this famous link: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Keyboard-encoder-configuration-(EN)

I am still blocked. It's a shame, the product looks nice, but if the recognition base of a joystick does not work hard to go further.

Regards Krys

@angryfruitsalad you'll find all configuration info here : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Keyboard-encoder-configuration-(EN)

But contrary to what is said in the tables, do not change key mapping, keep the default

@nightfall freat ! the wiki is not that bad afterall 🙂

@voljega @Substring thanks replying so quickly and for the information. This is information, while disappointing for my project, is understandable. I think I'm going to have to investigate other options in this case.

Thanks again.

@Kai-Christoph consider upgrading to the stable version 🙂
And try the tutorial, so you can tell me if you have problems going through it 🙂

Thx for clearing that out Subs.
i'll just continue setting up my cabinet with future vision for setting up ratio per game when 4.1 gets released .(any idea about a timeframe for that )

Further I would like to thank you guys for this great frontend.
I think the simplicity in controlling the frontend is what makes me choose recalbox over retropie .(less is more) and must not forget a great "favorites" system is a must as I use that a lot on my windows based cabinet (Gameex).

cela dit, pour info, tu peux juste cabler tes sticks sur le GPIO, ce qui est largement mieux (sauf si tu as prévu autre chose avec le GPIO)

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

Bonjour,   Pourrais-tu expliquer un peu plus précisement ce que tu entends par "configurer retroarch directement" ? En fait j'utilisais la retropi avec mon ipac et j'avais gardé les boutons et leurs correspondances mais aujourd'hui je ne sais pas où le mettre dans recalbox ....
