OpenBOR Issues with 2 Players using keyboard

[Jonnieboyrevel]

Good Evening

I have OpenBOR set up on my Bartop and the games all load and run fine. However, my Bartop uses an IPAC Ultimate keyboard encoder for the buttons.

OB does not like 2 players being set up with keyboard controls. It appears that certain keyboard buttons are hardcoded into OB, I assume to ensure you can control the menu, however, it means that controls used by player 2 also trigger actions for player 1.

I've found various post where people have the same issue but never a solution. Does anyone know of a way to disable the hardcoded key map so that 2 players can be set up correctly?

The only other way I can think of to get round it would be if Retropie could somehow do a virtual key remap when OB launched. I could then leave my keys as they are and just virtually map them over to match the OB defaults (like you can in Autohotkey with A::B etc...) Although this isn't a functionality I've ever come across in Retropie.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to have OB working correctly. At worst I can have it as a 1 player only emulator, however, a lot of the fun of beat-em ups is playing them with a friend...

Thanks in advance
