Hi again,

https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/releases

That is a bad link. Code is now on gitlab, not github. Releases can be found here: https://archive.recalbox.com/

I'm sorry for that. I thought to post in english increases my chances to get help. But by then, it was to late to delete my post in german language.

Will not happen again...

@rk-aus-s

very good and much success

@dh04000
cant find the release of 4.0.0 or 4.0.1 on archive.recalbox.com

[RK.aus.S]

Now, I'm totally confused; I installed Recalbox 4.0.1 - and it seems I have the same troubles to hit "OK" on the end of Keyboard configuration as with current version. (How the hell did I configure the Pimoroni PCB 2 years ago?)

But another question: If I do the configuration from this link

https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Keyboard-encoder-configuration-(EN)

which @voljega provided, the buttons do work. But in some games, I don't know how to terminate from the game? My Pimoroni PCB emulates the [ESC] and the [ENTER] keystroke, but they have no effect. The [ESC] - button on an additional, secondary connected USB-Keyboard works instead, so I can exit all games if I press [ESC] on this USB-Keyboard. But it's not my intention to leave connected a secondary keyboard all the time.

Maybe all is right and only I am to dumb to use Recalbox...?

PS. I could remove my Pimoroni PCB and connect the Joystick and the Buttons direct via GPIOs, explained here:

https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/GPIO-controllers-(EN)

But how can I exit/terminate/kill an Arcade game which resists to get exited - if there is no [ESC]-button available?

[voljega]

@rk-aus-s well at least make the effort to read the manual on the wiki and other pages, exiting a game is done by hotkey + start

[RK.aus.S]

Sorry, sometimes you are so absorbed in a problem that you overlook the simplest things. Maybe this has happened to you at some point - that does not always have anything to do with laziness.

Anyway, thank you for the hint.

[voljega]

@rk-aus-s no problem, hope it works fine now, so for future questions, did you have to modify your key bindings or did it work without it ?

and if you had to modify it, did ou use the bindings from the wiki page ?

[RK.aus.S]

@voljega

Will find out now the shortest, easiest possible procedure (for appleying the Pimoroni PCB) und post it here for you / all users respectively.

If there emerge additional questions or issues, I hope I can count on your valueable hints.

Thank you so far.

...
And anyway I will support only 6 buttons + start +select + hotkey, no more than that.
...

To understand you right; I can now configure the joystick and 7 buttons: A, B, X, Y, START, SELECT, HOTKEY - no more. I'm slightly confused that you write "...6 buttons + start +select + hotkey" that's all in all 9 buttons (joystick not countet)?

[voljega]

@rk-aus-s on my IPAC I can also configure L1 and R1 in addition to those you mentioned

And yes it's with joystick not counted

[RK.aus.S]

Well, I've now a general procedure to get Recalbox running on a Pimoroni Picade.
Because I think this could be a valueable information, I decided to finish this thread and to open a new and fresh one. So nobody has to read through all the posts in this thread to come to the solution.
