Universal Keyboard Mapping

fsa317

Hi, I'm still building my cabinet but playing around with the config while the paint dries. I'm using https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-Retrogame-2Player-BPlus as a reference to how I'm going to map things out. However what I found is when I map my keyboard controls using this I have some issues. Right now most notable is when using the NES emulator the start button (1) also brings up this "select state" menu, also the A button which I have mapped to button 2 or LEFTALT doesn't seem to work at all.

Could someone describe their keyboard mapping to get things working across NES, SNES, FBA & MAME4ALL?

In Raspicade the same keyboard mapping is used for all emulators see config files in my github repo https://github.com/ian57/Raspicade-configuration-files. Here is the pisnes keyb config :

[Keyboard]
# Get codes from /usr/include/SDL/SDL_keysym.h
#Using default Mame key mapping
A_1=306 #LeftControl
B_1=308 #LeftAlt
X_1=32 #Space
Y_1=304 #LeftShift
L_1=122 #z
R_1=120 #x
START_1=49 #1
SELECT_1=53 #5
LEFT_1=276 #Left
RIGHT_1=275 #Right
UP_1=273 #Up
DOWN_1=274 #Down
QUIT=27 #Escape
ACCEL=8 #Backspace
#player 2 keyboard controls, disabled by default
A_2=97 #a
B_2=115 #s
X_2=113 #q
Y_2=119 #w
L_2=101 #e
R_2=116 #t
START_2=50 #2
SELECT_2=54 #6
LEFT_2=100 #d
RIGHT_2=103 #g
UP_2=114 #r
DOWN_2=102 #f
ACCEL=9 #tab

what was wierd was the leftalt wasn't working the nes emulator, but then after messing around with the fceux.cfg i got it working. Some of these key mappings overlap/conflict with fceux but I was able to get everything working (at least everything I've tested) by editing fceux.cfg

Howdy, Stranger!
