UCR VS Keyboard2Xinput

You might need to use something like Universal Control Remapper to invert the axis on an OS level. I don't believe the game has a way to do so. If the driver software for that supports it, that's likely a better solution.

UCR - i think also supports ds4 output.

Ahh, no, sorry, I missed that. To combine your analog stick and keyboard buttons into a single emulated Xbox controller, the only thing I can think of would be UCR https://github.com/Snoothy/UCR

Now download and install UCR from here (actual download-link here if you're unfamiliar with github pages).

Had to use this: https://github.com/Snoothy/UCR

If you wonder how I used the Hotas , I used UCR : Universal Control Remaper Software, you can download it on github. https://github.com/Snoothy/UCR

For the pedals I use UCR to combine two pedals into one: https://github.com/Snoothy/UCR

The other option is the slightly more complicated Universal Control Remapper (by Snoothy and evilC).

enableToggle disables temporarily the interception of keys, so that you can use your keyboard for maintenance for instance. That can explain the fact that keyboard2xinput seems unresponsive (its icon turns to red when the key are not intercepted)By default it's assigned to substract, which is the substract key on your numpad (see https://gitlab.com/SchwingSK/Keyboard2Xinput). This key must also be assigned on your ipac-2.You can modify your mapping.ini file to either map the enableToggle to another key or remove the line altogether if you don't need the feature.

1.) download and unzip keyboard2xinput https://gitlab.com/SchwingSK/Keyboard2Xinput

I have my buttons setup as keyboard keys, which works great in mame, then for newer steam games, use this https://gitlab.com/SchwingSK/Keyboard2Xinput

When hitting tab, you should be presented with an option for general input vs this machine only. General input should apply to every game. Could also get there from the main mame.exe screen. Any game specific configuration (cfg) will override your default controls, so if you have a bunch of different game cfg files that are wrong, you could delete them. Newer xarcade boards allow you to switch between keyboard mode, xinput joystick mode, or dinput keyboard mode. However, keyboard is preferable to me, as you never have to deal with joystick order changing in Windows, it just flat out works consistently every time. To play Steam games, like SFV or MK11, you can use this program to map keyboard keys to virtual Xbox controllers https://gitlab.com/SchwingSK/Keyboard2Xinput you can have Launchbox launch this when you launch a game that needs it to automate everything

You could put the xarcade pcb in keyboard mode and use https://gitlab.com/SchwingSK/Keyboard2Xinput to make virtual xinput controllers, would allow you to easily customize layout for different games

Keyboard encoders can be supplemented by software to convert keypresses to xinput controllers. I have used keyboard2xinput - https://gitlab.com/SchwingSK/Keyboard2Xinput to mimic up to 8 controllers.

https://gitlab.com/SchwingSK/Keyboard2Xinput/-/releases will turn your kb into an x360 pad (tried up to 12). beware keyboard simultaneous key limits though.
