X-Arcade button layout?

[Cirion]

I usually do not play those... But I see the problem. So in games like SF2 the triggers are not used?
I'm just thinking of the Xbox 360 controller and with triggers I mean L2 R2.

I have no problem with your setup, just wondering why you reverse the XY and AB buttons?

Where do I change the Mame buttons so that I get them in the correct sequence?

[Cirion]

Yes, only 1 flipper, (just like the Tankstick, the second on the tankstick is a mousebutton).
I was hoping it would be possible to use the same button as Select/Coin and as a Hotkey.

The layout is the one of a SNES pad, not a xbox pad. That's why X/Y and A/B are flipped

[Cirion]

The layout is inconsistent.

If I boot Recalbox the button layout is like I configured it.
If I start a NES or SNES game it works fine.
When I exit it, it is still the same.

If I start a NeoGeo or MAME game, when I exit X/Y and A/B are flipped.
It might be others too, but I have no way of finding that out.

If I do not start NeoGeo or MAME but just let i stay on for a while, the same thing happens.

@Cirion for neogeo, i used the retroarch "core remap feature" tonset a different layout and have the 4 buttons almost "aligned" : the "L2" button + the "B A R1" row

And how do I reconfigure when I do not have the button layout? I'm unable to enter the menu and when I try all hell breaks loose. Suddenly I have Sega starting, and I can still hear my old seesion in the background. If I exit the Sega game I'm back in emustation but still I hear the old session in the background. Everything is revered and a reboot is the only thing that works.

The stupid thing is that I can not find the correct button layout so I can navigate the menus.

It works with my 360 controller, but I can only configure that one with the 360 controller.

Last thing that happend now was that suddenly most systems are no longer scraped. I had scraped them all. I did make a backup of the gamelist.xml so I could copy them back in. The problem is WIFI stopped working. I get a configuration error. Same settings as earlier.

There is something going on with my setup, I can't figure it out, and the button layout is wrong.

I received a Xin-Mo adapter in the mail yesterday. Maybe I should just use that for the X-Arcade and order a new one for my kabinet. The buttons and sticks have not arrived.

Does your controller get reversed if you enter Neo-Geo Metal Slug and exit?

I guess you can't determine if the xarcade driver started. Let me sum it up : the xarcade is a keyboard emulator. Recalbox doesn't handle keyboards. BUT ES and some emulators can handle keyboards against "recalbox' will".

So, i really recomment you do start the driver late in the process like i do, by editing ~/custom.sh and adding the launch from there. Do you need some.more help to do that ?

[Cirion]

I know how to edit files, but I need help with what to write in the custom.sh to launch the driver.

I started with a fresh 8GB SD class 10 card, since I am now using a 250GB USB HD.
I figured out why the games where no longer scraped, and it is due to a write error so the gamelist.xml files where corrupt.
I had all but 1 in my backup so they are back and working. I have to be better at shutting down instead of pulling the power.

Wifi is also working now.

I have not changed the layout of the X-Arcade this time, and out of the box a/b and x/y are swapped after starting a NeoGeo or Mame game. And they stay swapped until reboot.

This does not happen when starting NES or SNES games.

your custom.sh can just have :
