@zing it's not true, I'm out from home and I don't resolve this problem because I didn't try anymore (I'm at hospital for COVID).
Why are you saying that there was a conflict with es? I never said it. As I told before, in discord I wrote the first solution (the sintax) and I post the second question, nothing more.
When I will try your suggests, I will write in this thread.
@zing I'm sorry, I was sure to have written the solution in the previous thread, so I opened another one for a different trouble... But I has written how I had solved it only in discord. Sorry again.
The first problem I had was very simple, it was the sintax! I was writing for select and start "5" and "1", while the correct sentences were "num5" and "num1". Done it, everything was working fine and still it is.
Now I'm trying to do the next step: overload the keyboard inputs for a single game (overload of an overload). I read in the wiki that it's possible, but as I wrote before, after done it, the keys are "confused", it seems that when I press "A" is like I'm pressing A+B (and if I press B, is like B+A).
I wrote the lines of the two files and you can see that I only swapped two keys.
That's the problem I have now.
Do you have any idea about it?
P.S. if you want, I can write the solution of the other topic and tag it as SOLVED (sorry again).
Hi everybody,
I'm using recalbox 7.2.2 on a x64 pc, with an ipac2 (usb keyboard controller emulator).
I changed the default keys config by using a .retroarch.cfg (overload) in the share/roms directory.
Everything is fine.
But I have problems when i want to overload my overload config for a single game: i put another retroarch config file in the mame directory, i named the cfg as read in the wiki (gamename.zip.retroarch.cfg) and then start the game.
What i want to overload is the keys config, but what happen is a sort of "confusion" on the keys functions. With the new config i want to swap two keys, but the result is that by pressing each of them, the system behave as i'm pressing both of them.
This is the main overload file (.retroarch.cfg):
input_player1_b = "alt"
input_player1_a = "ctrl"
input_player1_y = "shift"
input_player1_x = "z"
input_player1_start = "num1"
input_player1_select = "num5"
input_player1_l = "space"
input_player1_r = "x"
input_player1_left = "left"
input_player1_right = "right"
input_player1_up = "up"
input_player1_down = "down"
input_player2_b = "a"
input_player2_a = "s"
input_player2_y = "w"
input_player2_x = "i"
input_player2_start = "num2"
input_player2_select = "num6"
input_player2_l = "q"
input_player2_r = "k"
input_player2_left = "d"
input_player2_right = "g"
input_player2_up = "r"
input_player2_down = "f"
and this is the per game overload file (wboy.zip.retroarch.cfg)
input_player1_a = "alt"
input_player1_b = "ctrl"
input_player1_y = "shift"
input_player1_x = "z"
input_player1_start = "num1"
input_player1_select = "num5"
input_player1_l = "space"
input_player1_r = "x"
input_player1_left = "left"
input_player1_right = "right"
input_player1_up = "up"
input_player1_down = "down"
input_player2_a = "a"
input_player2_b = "s"
input_player2_y = "w"
input_player2_x = "i"
input_player2_start = "num2"
input_player2_select = "num6"
input_player2_l = "q"
input_player2_r = "k"
input_player2_left = "d"
input_player2_right = "g"
input_player2_up = "r"
input_player2_down = "f"
As you can see, I only swap A and B keys.
Anybody can help me?
@zing thank you very much for your answer.
I tried to overload retroarch inputs by adding a .retroarch.cfg file in the roms directory.
The content is:
input_player1_a = "alt"
input_player1_b = "ctrl"
input_player1_y = "shift"
input_player1_x = "z"
input_player1_start = "1"
input_player1_select = "5"
input_player1_l = "space"
input_player1_r = "x"
input_player1_left = "left"
input_player1_right = "right"
input_player1_up = "up"
input_player1_down = "down"
I rebooted the system, but nothin is changed. Am I doing something wrong?
I will try the first two options you suggested.
Hi all, I have a big issue with recalbox 7.2.2 and keys configuration with ipac2.
The ipac2 is configurated as keyboard and MAME mapped.
Recalbox is installed on a Intel NUC PC, with 2 HDs.
When the system is running, keyboard is configured as ES config file, and I changed it with no problem.
The issue is when i try to play with retroarch: keyboard doesn't have an hotkey to enter RA settings, so i plug in a Logitech USB Joypad, then i start a game (mame), i enter inside settings, controller, P1 and P2, I remap all the keyboard keys.
I save the current configuration (in recalbox 7.2.2 the cfg file is called retroarchcustom.cfg) and resume the game. everything is fine.
but if i quit the game (and so retroarch), the mapping becomes the default. By SFTP i can see that the file is overwritten by the system.
I try everything i found on forums to have a permanent configuration, but nothing works for me.
I don't want to configure ipac2 as a game controller, because the hardware is inside an old arcade cabinet, with coins and 7 buttons per player and i need the flexibility of a keyboard to make everything working right.
Can you help me please?
Thanks a lot.
@voljega
Yes I have it.
The games in ADF format start without any problem. Only WHDL...
@voljega
These are the screenshots of amiberry configuration in RETROPIE (it works!):
But when i use them in RECALBOX (F12 - Amiberry), i only have this result:
Bios are exactly the same.
I really don't understand the problem
@voljega
Yes, I understand that configuration is set by default, but I did many attetmpts to try it, and maybe i break the right combinations. So, if you can send me your actual config, it could be usefull for me too.
Tnx
@voljega
The problem is with every game. Note that in Retropie everythings is good at the first start. Bios and Rom are the same.
I tried many times with Turrican2_v1.7_0029.lha - It is the only one that was started once, I don't know if, and what, I changed anything that stopped amiberry to work.
Do you have some screenshots of amiberry configuration to use?
@voljega thanks
this is the situation shown by recalbox manager:
Everything seems OK
Also with no .uae files the roms don't start
Is there any amiberry cofig file that i could manage?
@voljega thanks for the answer. Later I'll try without UAE. If the how to is obsolete, which bios do I have to use? Which configuration in amiberry?
Thanks a lot
Hi all, these are my first attempts to work with amiga emulation in recalbox.
I think that I did all the steps described here and in the arcade mini-how-to.
this is my bios directory:
and this is my amiga600 rom directory:
The uae files are empty and the roms are in .lha format (zip doesn't work and folder unzipped are not showed). When I run games, the amiberry emulator starts (I see Amiberry logo), the screen becomes black and virtual leds stop flashing. Nothing happens anymore. Only once the Turrican 2 rom started, I played it, but at the second run, everything becomes black. Everytime I run games.
I tried to change kikckstart rom from amiberry panel (F12) in ROM section, but nothing changed.
The WHDL files are from the famous collections.
Someone can help me, please?
