Bob Benson Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I have an arcade xtension control board based on the ipac. I just upgraded the fw to enable mode switching so I can have xinput for steam games. Previously I was using vjoy to enable 2 player joysticks in steam games and I have it set up to semi automatically switch to vjoy on launch and exit when the game closes. But I'd like to switch to using native xinput. The question is whether there is anyway to script this. For those not aware the mode switch works by holding down 2 buttons on the control board. Any ideas? Anyone come up with any solutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Benson Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Just to update for any lurkers trying to figure out the same things; I got it halfway there. I am able to run via commandline the winipac program and force it to load a profile for the kb. Which will switch it out of xinput mode if it is currently in it and back to kb. But I can't seem to do the same thing to force it to xinput. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying to switch back and forth between keyboard and xinput mode depending on the emulator/launch game but have not been able to get it to work correctly.

JHarbinger Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Wondering if you all ever figured this one out. Have been searching the forums without success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildini Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Has anyone come up with a way, batch file, to execute before starting a steam game to enter the Ipac in Xinput mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReInstall Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I use Keyboard2Joy with an autohotkey script to switch my IPAC mini "keyboard" into an xbox controller and back to keyboard after https://gitlab.com/SchwingSK/Keyboard2Xinput You can use the built in mode switcher by holding P1 start and a button (1,2,3,4) to switch modes instead, but this works seamlessly and is faster. Using Keyboard2Joy I've set up various button mappings for different control layouts too eg: analog stick to digital joystick, twin stick etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
