Street Fighter IV Keyboard Configuration?

[Warborg]

Ok, so I know you have to have one "gamepad" type device and can also have 1 player use the keyboard...  No problem, my P1 stick is an Ultrastik so it's a USB Gamepad, works fine for P1.  Then I was able to get into the menu and set the directional controls and the kick/punch buttons for P2 through my keyboard encoder (Keywiz).  NOW, the one question I have, and perhaps I'm just being thick (which would be unsuprising), is there somewhere to configure the P2 "Start" button to the keyboard??  I can't start a VS match because, even though all controls are configured, I can't come up with a P2 Start button!  Please help me before I do something self-destructive like tinkering endlessly on my cab again...!  o_O

Sorry, I don't have much helpful information for ya, as I canceled my PC order on SFIV because of the ---smurf-poop--- controls Capcom (mis)coded in.

I was under the impression that P1 had to be the keyboard, and P2 the joystick. That's pretty incredible, but not surprising if they forgot to allow the start button to be mapped for the PC version... considering it's a straight Xbox360 port. I've lost so much respect for Capcom over this release, it's actually rather humorous.

I'm fighting with this right now.
Just discovered the pad_default.ini in the config folder.

Anyone else figured this one out?

You CAN'T have 2 players mapped to keyboard in this game...  This is a fault of the game.

This is normal on most PC arcade ports anyway and Im not surpricly on this game, which use many buttons. I guess the reason is the many ghost key that was, so they designed in this way (like Sega games).

So mightbeen software like XPAdder or such can help to remap the missing button and if can works that way?

IMO, it's due more to how microsoft set up directInput & XInput, its recommendations on its website, and for easier UIs. 

It's way earier to set a one to one, controller to player, relationship in both coding and designing a GUI, than a one to many (IOW, one keyboard to 2 players) or other possiblities.  FWIW, mame has a many to many relationship, much harder to code and for users to use (or even understand).

Please go to the X-Arcade site and click on this link to submit a patch request to Capcom. I have done this and I am sure it wouldn't hurt if a few hundred more of us did this:

same problem here, had ipac, since no 2 player keyboard went through all the trouble to change my encoder to 2 gamepads and now still cant do 2 player because cant get start button to work.

gamepad works for 1 player if I set it as 1player device with the game options but no start button.

The place you can bind it is the controller settings from the launcher before you start the game, but doesnt work for me, anything I set in there always reverts back to default when I close it.  Plus the default start button is 8, button 8 is my FK button and it wont work for start anyways.

if you use this

and input based on gamepad should work

(im using 2 of the 4 U360s, and set those to "joy8wayeasy" mode, its working ok at the moment...  but i still have yet tweak the button order to my liking...i would like the stock SF4 button profile settings to match the arcade button layout for LP-MP-HP/LK-MK-HK/start on a neogeo 7 btn layout)

and basically you just use that controller emulator app's DLL and put it in the SF4 folder as xinputXXXX.dll (i called mine DINPUT9_1_0.DLL and DINPUT1_3.DLL, im sure only one is needed but i didnt check which, doesnt really matter)

you use that XInputTest.exe in there to check your mapping against a GUI drawing of a xb360 controller

it is not so bad.  also it helps to put the No CD patched SF4Launcher.exe in there. 

there will have to be some way to automate hitting 'ENTER' as well. i.e. autohotkey script. after its launched etc...

so far works nicely on a cab i like when ppl jump in and start a 2P game on me via Xbox Live...pretty wild playing ppl over the internet while standing in front of a real cab with a big crt and nice arcade buttons/sticks.

i was expecting/hoping for a bit more cab friendly game...kind of disappointed in that regard.  but it can be made to work in a cab-friendly-2-player manner as long as u have some way to generate gamepad input (ie gp encode, gp, ppjoy, etc). 

[metahacker]

I'm fighting with this right now.
Just discovered the pad_default.ini in the config folder.

Anyone else figured this one out?

i have a feeling this might provide the ideal setup if this lets you add your GP based encoder directly to some natively supported set of device IDs that have button mappings loaded from that file

i have not tried editing it but it looks promising

[Trebeck]

I'm going to have to tackle this one on the weekend.  I have about 4 loose ends on my new cab PC and I've been procrastinating.
 

[DeLuSioNal29]

Anyone know if this workaround creates any lag with the controls?

[CatttDaddy]

 

Ok, I'm trying to tackle this SF4 problem with the x-Arcade stick.
I got the PPjoy, GlovePIE, and now the 360 Emulator.... How many apps do I need to get SF4 to work???

Just with PPJoy I couldn't get the keys configured. I then got GlovePIE to help with that. After I got GlovePIE it seemed that the SF4 configuration only would allow 16 digital inputs. I apparently need more
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=93957.0
looks like sqwirral was using 19 digital inputs that he configured in GlovePIE. He says it worked but never went much further....

Here I see I may need a 360 controller emulator to emulate the 360 controller...

Ok, can someone explain what is needed and how to pull it off?
I just want SF4 to work with both players....
