-===== Configure USB Keyboard Encoders =====
-This instructions are for Batocera 5.24 or later, they are dedicated to IPAC2 and X-Arcade USB Controllers, IPAC4 might work too.
-Xarcade2jstick has been patched to support keyboard encoders. You may have to reconfigure a few keys of your encoder as, sadly, x-gaming Xarcade devices didn't mapped as usual mame controllers.
-Do not change the key mappings of your IPAC2 as it is unnecessary
-**Configuring your keyboard encoder**
-If your usb keyboard controller isn't recognized automatically, follow these steps :
-  * login to your Batocera box locally or through SSH
-  * find your encoder's device name with ''ls /dev/input/by-id''. Usually, there is a trailing kbd in the event name. For example : ''usb-Ultimarc_IPAC_2_Ultimarc_IPAC_2_9-if01-event-kbd''
-**PLEASE NOTE:** a single encoder can have multiple possible names, so try all of them\\
-For exemple:
-''usb-Cypress_I-PAC_Arcade_Control_Interface-event-kbd'' -> works\\
-''usb-Cypress_I-PAC_Arcade_Control_Interface-if01-event-kbd'' -> doesn't work
-  * Now remount / as read-write ''mount -o remount,rw /''
-  * Create an empty file that has the same name of your keyboard device found 2 steps above ''touch /usr/share/batocera/datainit/system/configs/xarcade2jstick/devicename''. With the previous example : ''touch /usr/share/batocera/datainit/system/configs/xarcade2jstick/usb-Ultimarc_IPAC_2_Ultimarc_IPAC_2_9-if01-event-kbd''
-  * Edit ''batocera.conf'' and set ''controllers.xarcade.enabled=1'' (it should already be set by default but check it)
-  * Save your modifications through SSH ''batocera-save-overlay''
-  * Reboot by typing ''reboot''
-Now all your keys should be usable, that is for each player : 4 directions joystick, select, start, hotkey, A, B, X, Y, L1 and R1.\\ For now it is not possible to attribute more buttons like L2, R2, L3 or R3
-You must now configure both the controllers in the Controller Configuration menu and also associate the right controller to player 1 and 2.
