Hello !

It sounds like you have a button set up on your IPAC which triggers some sort of emulator function.

My suggestion would be to look in the controller configurations of the RetroArch.cfg file, (located in /opt/retropie/configs/all/ if you are using the latest RetroPie image) and to see what is already mapped to your keyboard (make sure to check any hotkeys too since they may be mapped to the keyboard). It helps a ton to initially setup your 1p keys with emulation station (remembering to hold a button to skip through stuff you can’t map), then go back and edit this config file specifically with your keyboard configuration. Saves a ton of headache. (esepcecially when most emulators run via RetroArch)

Don’t forget, you can also reprogram your IPAC using the Windows software. (A good thing to do since the default setting misses out a ton of shift keys you could set to random keys. You could map stuff like R2 and L2 and analogue sticks via button press combos)

Here is what I set my main IPAC keys to:

P1:
Up: UP ARROW
DOWN: DOWN ARROW
LEFT: LEFT ARROW
RIGHT: RIGHT ARROW
1:a
2:s
3:d
4:z
5:x
6:c
7:5
8:6
1p Start: 1

P2:
Up: I
Down: K
Left: J
Right: L
1: t
2: y
3: u
4: f
5: g
6: h
7: 5
8: 6
2p start:2

Also if you are using pisnes or pifba, you will need to find a patched binary (I made a thread yesterday about it that might help), since the emulators have P2 keyboard controls disabled by default.

I always use Street Fighter 2 to test my key setups since it uses all 6 main buttons. (Snes, MAME, and FBA versions I’d recommend)

Can you share your retroarch.cfg please ?

After reconfiguring the IPAC and the retroarch.cfg… the buttons don’t work…

If I put again “space” and “k” on the IPAC and on retroarch.cfg. it works again on MAME FBA, but not anymore on SNES… :'(

Hello !

I did reconfigure the IPAC and I switched the space by R and the K buy T… I updated the retroarch.cfg, it works for the the SNES emulators, but now for Mame and Neogeo these two buttons don’t work anymore… :'(

[carlux3]

Unfortunatly nothing works … I’ll see to buy a new dongle…

Thanks

Hello !

It seems the default buttons of the IPAC countains some active buttons of the retropie configuration …
I mean that “space” and “K” are used to put a kind of TURBO or a STOP during the games in SNES, NES and at least MEGADRIVE.
So I reconfigure those buttons on the IPAC in R and T and reconfigure retroarch.cfg, and now it seems it works !
Last point on the SNES games at like to switch the buttons 3 and 6 (but only for SNES) do you know how can I do that ?

Thank you !

On my old RP1 i had a TL-WN725N too.
You have to install the driver manually and every time again after a stystem update.

can you tell which driver you use and how you install it ?

cheers

[carlux3]

Thanks, but still nothing :'(

Typically mine has double quotes like the example listed under option 2 here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-Up-Wifi
See if adding double quotes changes anything.

it doesn’t change anything

If its not even showing try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

see result below :

pi@retropie ~ $ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

Hello,

Yes I did but it doesn’t help.

My encryption was : WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] and changed it to WPA2-PSK [AES] and then to WPA-PSK [TKIP] but nothing changed

if I do a ifconfig, the wlan0 doesn’t appear.

Do I need to put the SSID and pasword between “” ?

if I do ifup wlan0 :

pi@retropie ~ $ sudo ifup wlan0
wpa_supplicant: wpa-roam can only be used with the "manual" inet METHOD
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
