Before I start I want to make it clear that I have gone through the Wiki and understand how to set up the iPac creating the files in the recordbox2jstick directory etc. Here is the issue I have run into. I am using an older PS/2 iPac board and have seen many people say they made it work. What I haven't seen is anyone who started Recalbox and only had the PS/2 converter but not the iPac show up. This is what I get:

I even tried creating files in the xarcade2jstick directory using the names of the USB converter which I hardly thought would do anything but it was an act of a desperate man. Any ideas would be appreciated.
