IPAC 2 doesn't work properly

[mitu]

@alexjshepler Didn't you already configured your retroarch.cfg for it ? That should be enough. As I said, back up the file before configuring the IPAC in EmulationStation and restore it afterwards.
If your IPAC doesn't work in games, then please specify what games are you launching and what emulator is used.

Ok, I will try that, how do I configure it tho so that the buttons stay the same throughout the wole system? Like when I assigned A to one button it goes to another when I try to chagne the settings?

[mitu]

I don't understand, can you give an example ?

[alexjshepler]

So, when i'm on the home page, I am using a white button for A but in the settings I have to use the red. Its like when I'm on the actual home page (where you select the rom and game) its going off of the butt that was assinged to A (east button) but in the settings its the button that is south

So for the xbox controller, I set A to A (even thought it reconmends that you set A (retro pie) to the east button (on the controller) but I set A to A and when I'm in the settings (blue background) it uses whatever button is east so on the xbox controller B

@alexjshepler So what's stopping you from mapping the way you want it ? Just swap A and B when configuring the IPAC.

[alexjshepler]

I've mapped it so A is A but whenever I go to the settings it uses the right button instead of the button that I mapped it to, and when I go back it maps it to the button that I want

EmulationStation's settings menu is not opened by 'A/East', it's opened by pressing the button you mapped as 'Start'. Are you referring to the RetroPie-Setup settings ?

[alexjshepler]

Yes, that is what I mean. Sorry

[mitu]

Then open RetroPie-Setup, go to Configuration/Tools, choose emulationstation and toggle 'Swap A/B buttons in ES' configuration option.

Ok, thank you
