🙂 Thanks! but if I could press F7.. I wouldn't need the virtual keyboard.

@Stoomkracht or probably type trust XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX after pairing.

To modify the EmulationStation menu mapping, edit the file /recalbox/system/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg. In the 'deviceName="Keyboard"' section, set the 'id' property of each input to the SDL keycode for that keyboard input. To map virtual gamepad button "a" to keyboard key "1", locate the input with 'name="a"' and change the value of 'id' to "49".

<input name="a" type="key" id="49" value="1" code="168" /> <!-- gamepad a ==> keyboard 1 -->

[EDIT] In this example, the SDL keycode for keyboard key "1" is 49. SDL keycodes are listed here - https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/SDLKeycodeLookup.

@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 @johnodon

As far as I know, it's not possible to remap keyboard.

Sorry,
David

Amiga is a computer and the original machine has a real keyboard, so an USB keyboard will act as... a keyboard 🙂 Not a Joystick.
You'll find some game working with the keyboard though.

@lacazet2k there is already a VK accessible from within the webmanager, as far as I remember.

Holy sh...! It's alive again! I cannot pin the reason down though, but I'm certain it was something I made wrong again and again. Maybe sth. to do with the windows ssh shell (didn't want to set putty up because I find that confusing). Anyway, thanks so much for guiding me through. 🙂

@rustymg I think select alone make the main device switch between mouse and joystick, maybe only when virtual keyboard is up
