I have been lurking here for a while and decided to join. I am a project member over at hyperspin-fe.com. Just want to say Retroarch is incredible and I am looking forward to 1.1!
From what I understand currently there is no way to map keyboard keys within RGUI which is fine. I am trying to map some of the special characters like forward slash and I can’t seem to find the correct naming. What standard is being used for keycodes?
Also is there any way to bind key combinations like shift+5? I have 7 different joysticks, 2 of them being wireless xbox 360 controllers and the rest are in an arcade cabinet. My goal is to be able to use 2 or more joysticks for player 1 so I can seamlessly switch between playing on the arcade and playing on a tv using the wireless controllers. I am using xpadder to remap my controllers to keyboard keys. Key combinations would give me more options because there are not enough single keys on a keyboard to map 4 players.
RetroArch uses its own system for dealing with many different input APIs across the platforms it supports. The following link should clarify.
