Thinking about changing my default keys on my Ipac 4 to something different than what it came with and was wondering what people are using thats  good with all emulators? The more I add to my system Im starting to see some dont like shift, alt, ctrl.

 

Ideas?

It's no big deal to re-configure your iPac at any time. It literally only takes a couple minutes to remap it if you need. I adjust mine as needed if I run across a game that conflicts and I can't re-map it with keymapper/autohotkey

Currently mine is set up as:

1P joystick: up, down, left, right directional arrows (R Alt, L Ctrl, Backspace, Delete)

2P joystick: W, C, A, F (Page up, Page down, Home, End)

1P start button: 1 (and also my shift button)

2P start button: 2 (tab shifted)

Coin button: Enter (ESC shifted) this way it works as a coin button and as a start button for PC games.

1P buttons top: X, B, N (f1, f2, f3)

1P buttons bot: S, Space, L Shift (F4, F5, F6)

2P buttons top: T, Y, U (F7, F8, F9)

2P buttons bot: D, H, R Shift (F10, F11, F12)

And I have my volume control app set to Page up/down so I can adjust volume with the 2P joystick shift.

Let us know what you settle on!

Did you use the guide off the dropbox link? I was just looking at that for Player 1 and Player 2 thinking that might be the best theres no shift,alt or ctrl that seem to throw other things off.

Yes I used the document from the Dropbox link. Players 1 and 2 is identical to the document.

But I have a 6 button layout....

Cool deal thank you for the info that helps a lot. Did you just go into each emulator and re map the keys or did you do it from rocketlauncher?

You can't map emulator keys in rocketlauncher directly (meaning the rocketlauncher controls won't translate on to your emulator controls).

You can launch a game/emulator from rocketlauncher, and assuming the config menu is available then map the keys for that emulator...
Or you can launch the emulator from windows explorer and map it that way.

I do both ways.....
But I tend to launch retroarch via rocketlauncher then configure it.
