IPac and retropie???

[sillygoat]

Hello, recently I have been trying to get my IPac 2 to work with my Raspberry pi 1 Model B. I am running the latest software and am having some problems.
My main problem is configuring the IPac. As you may know, this is a small device that turns inputs into keyboard signals. I have 2 joysticks and 14 buttons in total. My problem is that I cannot use some of the buttons (like h, which is reset) because they are set as keys to do certain functions in retroarch. I have attempted changing the config for retroarch inside an emulator using F1 to no avail. I have even gone into the config file and deleted the button key after the function (eg deleting the “h” after the reset part) which didn’t work either.
If there is a way to remove these functions please tell me. I have heard of changing the IPac setting so that it acts like a controller instead of a keyboard although I have no idea how to do this.
Any and all help is much appreciated.

Set the values to nul
So in the config file, instead of the function being … = h update it so its … = nul

thanks for the reply, but reset and other buttons are still activated :/
is there a way to just delete the hotkeys entirely? the only one i actually need is the exit emulator button combo

Post your /all/retroarch.cfg up at pastebin.com
I’m fairly sure you need to set them to not work, otherwise the default will be active.

You can see my approach here:

How can I copy all of my config? Do I have to manually type it all in?

[Floob]

Just use the samba share, or FTP to get the file then copy the contents to pastebin.com

Did you watch the video from about 35:40 in?

Thanks so much for the video, it should help a lot! I’ll try it out tomorrow when I have time
