Mapping js1 button to js0 on Xin-Mo

AlexMurphy

@hexagone Have you tried adding input_player2_enable_hotkey_btn = "whatever the button input number is"to the retroarch.cfg file? It's not a standard command but worth a shot. Also, I have to say I love the cabinet art. Is this your own work?

hexagone

Thank you for your reply.

I just tried your suggestion, but there is no effect...

When I planed to create my cabinet i liked so much the original Star Wars design.
Also the cabinet I wanted had specific dimensions, so I reworked the original arts (moving elements, extending the death star and stars, rebluid the frame...).

@hexagone Can the Xin Mo be mapped as keystrokes rather than controller inputs? If so it definitely can be done. It's a bit of hassle but should achieve what you want.

But it is impossible to use a button from the Player 2 controller (my js1) with input_enable_hotkey_btn on Retroarch.

If it doesn't already exist, try adding the following to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

all_users_control_menu = "true"

I also tried to the all_users_control_menu option... With this you can control the menu via Player 2 but not active the hotkey. :(

@hexagone after that did you set the button number you want to be the hotkey?

hexagone

Yes... I tried all_users_control_menu = "true" with the specific button (n°11 only on js1), and also with a button present on the 2 players (n°8 on js0 et js1).

In the two cases, the buttons from Player 2 (js1) are not taken as a hotkey.

It's all a ploy to keep the liquor stores in business.

Where exactly did you set this part?

hexagone

I set it directly in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/THTTHTArcadeconsole2PUSBPlayer.cfg

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"

If I use the Retroarch menu (Settings/Input/Input Hotkey Binds/Enable Hotkeys), I can't set it to 11 because is on js1. I can only set button from js0.
