wemr97dl Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Ipac is a keyboard you need to set it up in each emulator you use with launch box to play game, mame, retro arch, etcSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakemoyer Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 I was able to map those controls in MAME. They work great! Thank you for the suggestion! New issue: Upon launching LaunchBox, I cannot change my key input for my selection buttons. It asks me to input my key but upon pressing of that key, nothing happens. What do you think...

wemr97dl Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I had no problems with that, it worked fine for me, maybe someone else could chime in. Just to note when I map my controls for other systems I try to stay consistent and also if you use retro arch, it's a pain in the ass with an I PAC, for some reason it would see some controls as extended keyboard keys. I had to go into the config file and change them manually.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly is not working? Controlling inside Launchbox, controlling a game launched from Launchbox? Since iPac is basically a keyboard LB does not have key mappings for keyboard encoders. Launchbox only has mapping optons for a game controller. You mostly move around with the mouse. Game wise you need to make sure you bind your buttons directly in the emulator.

I am having the exact same problem, when you are in LB yeah mouse and keyboard is great. however when you are in big box, I would like my arcade/winipac 4 to do most the work. should I set something up like a REwasd or x controller?

JoeViking245 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I think you need to set up the keyboard/controllers in BigBox separately. [in BigBox] Options, Keyboard Mappings. and Keyboard Automation. Or if you have your IPac-4 set to XInput, then you probably need to look at Options, Controllers. and Options, Controller Mappings.

blakemoyer Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 I went through each of my emulators for mapping the different consoles. However, for MAME I went directly through BigBox. The only issue I have now is I'm not sure how to wire the trackball lighting so its been dark ever sense my build. Here is my build: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
