===== Modes =====
^ Mode ^ ^
| Keyboard | This is the mode making all work magically. Recommended. In batocera, it uses keyboardtopads. |
| DINPUT | No trackball and no player2. Working partially and discouraged mode. |
| XINPUT | This mode mimics 2 xbox 360 controllers. This mode is discouraged, cause batocera cannot differentiate from other xbox 360 pad. |
| Digital/Analog option | The controllers have a dpad/apad option. It has no influence on the way the controller work. It exists for compatibly issues. It is nor required nor usefull in batocera |

===== Mapping =====
Since version 41, batocera doesn't use xarcade2jstick anymore to handle these controllers.

A new tool, called keyboardtopads, more generic (supporting more controllers), supporting hotkeys and configurable via emulationstation was done.

L and R are mapped to the flipper buttons too, while by convention, in batocera, L et R are the flipper keys.

Note that you can have several controllers plugged, it will automatically recognize, 4, 6, 8 players, without any issue.
==== Default ====
The mapping for the buttons is command to all the controllers.

The other buttons are set depending of their numbers to batocera control center, exit, pause hotkeys.

==== Customizations ====
When you use mode Keyboard mode, keyboardtopads splits the xarcade into 3 devices : player1, player2 and hotkeys.

A default configuration was done in batocera, but you can customize it to do an other split by going into emulationstation menu > controllers menu > keyboardtopads.
