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

Thank you very much!

@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.

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 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?

Sure!

recalbox.conf

/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/inputs/fba_custom.cfg (with 666 permissions)

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.

Hi all. I'm trying to use a custom keys configuration for FBA. I've followed the instructions here: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/How-to-use-custom-config-for-emulators-(EN)

But at the end my custom configuration is just not loaded. I've tried with all these configurations in recalbox.conf:

fba_libretro.configfile=/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/inputs/fba_custom.cfg
fba-libretro.configfile=/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/inputs/fba_custom.cfg
fba.configfile=/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/inputs/fba_custom.cfg
retroarch.configfile=/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/inputs/fba_custom.cfg
neogeo.configfile=/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/inputs/fba_custom.cfg

But at the end, when I run it, this is what I can see in the logs:

['retroarch', '-L', '/usr/lib/libretro/fba_libretro.so', '--config', '/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/retroarchcustom.cfg', '/recalbox/share/roms/fba_libretro/1942.zip']

using the default configuration instead of mine.
I'm using Recalbox 4.0.2 on Raspberry pi 2.

What am I doing wrong?
