Enhancement : Recalbox P2K ?

[soaresden]

Since the new version of Recalbox called Recalbox 7, each game can be remapped with a small file called P2k (Pad2Keyboard)

Example : "DukeNukemII.pc.p2k.cfg" which is the Foldername + .p2k.cfg

It would be Great to generate this file with the conversion with a "default" scheme. It would be Awesome to Give a personnalized layout for each game (too much work ?) Since 80% use CTRL+ALT+SPACE ENTER and Escape, and arrow keys, I think the default one is a good choice

Below is the inside of the file:

# Recalbox's Pad-to-Keyboard configuration
#NAME OF THE GAME - Duke Nukem 2
#DOS

# dpad to arrow keys
0:up = up
0:down = down
0:right = right
0:left = left
0:j1up = up
0:j1down = down
0:j1right = right
0:j1left = left

# Start is enter
0:start = enter ;; Entree
# Select is escape
0:select = esc ;; Back
# X is space
0:b = space
# O is ctrl
0:a = leftctrl ;; Jump
# /\ is nothing
0:x = 
# [] is Alt
0:y = leftalt ;; Fire

#L1 is F1
0:l1 = F1 ;; Game Options
#L2 is H
0:l2 = H ;; Help

#R1 is F5
0:r1 = F5
#R2 is B
0:r2 = b
#L3 is N
0:l3 = n ;; No (N)
#R3 is Y
0:r3 = y ;; Yes (Y)

#hotkey to quit DosBox
0:hotkey = F9 ;; Hotkey with reset (CTRL+F9)

#Format to Respect : 
#n°PAD (0 as default):ACTION = KEYBOARD KEY

I can do that no problem, but the formatting of github messes up the content of the file, can you repost the file content on pastebin ?

[soaresden]

here the file

it's a textfile, so rename it p2k.cfg instead of txt 👍 P2K template.txt

here some documentation about it : https://recalbox.gitbook.io/documentation/v/francais/utilisateur-avance/configurations/pad-to-keyboard

[Voljega]

thank you

so the DukeNukemII.pc.p2k.cfg file must be at the same level as the DukeNukemII.pc folder right? not inside it ?

for the personnalized layout there two competing options :

• from what I understood they should be on screenscrapper, and will be downloaded when you scrap
• there is an alternate project called keyb2joypad which wants to map all dos games command, it's mostly a Google Sheet at the time, so not mature at all, when the project advance it could be translated to recabox format

[soaresden]

Yes, the same level.

Yes, normally people like me upload their files to screenscrapper. But don't mess with it. When people scrap their games, they will take it too (if avalaible), and overwrite the default one you integer?

[Voljega]

yep i was saying that for custom ones

@soaresden Compatibility has been added and is part of the just released 0.6-beta

@soaresden If you can tell me if it works, that would be nice, thanks :)
