Ipac4 not changing to Xinput
« on: November 03, 2024, 12:11:44 am »
I recently purchased an IPAC4, but I’m having difficulty changing its mode to Xinput. Currently, it remains in keyboard mode, which makes it challenging for me to configure the emulators as I need.

I have attempted switching modes multiple times by holding START and pressing SW1 through SW5, as described in the instructions, but there has been no change. Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue? Is there another way to enable Xinput mode? Firmware is 1.56

I would appreciate any assistance or troubleshooting steps you could provide.

Thank you very much for your time and support.
Seb

You might want to reset the board and start fresh.
I do recall having problems programming one once but I had accidentally loaded the mixedmode firmware to mine.

If all else fails you can send Andy an email directly and he is always extraordinarily helpful.

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools! I can fix it.

Thank you so much!!! I realized that START button had to be in Shift mode. Now, it’s working!!!

Good to hear.
Those devices are awesome when they are working the way you want them to.
Andy put a lot of work into them obviously and they work across so many use cases still.
