@hawkeyez88 When you run the Xarcade Input.exe what web browser does it open in on your setting? I am going to send you the script and will modify it to match.

You stated you did have inputs working but it was not clear if it was the method they have on their site. 

You will need to make an AHK script to call it open before the game. I am not at the house right now so later I will send it to you. You will just have to modify the file location paths in the script. Then point to the script instead of the game exe as the script will be a launcher for both the X-arcade input and the game. Sadly you will have to replicate this for each game. A bit of a work around, but it works. 

 

 

Thanks Retro808 - you rock! The only i'm not 100% clear on, which I'm sure your script will tell me, is do you close BB and then reopen it, or just open the x-arcade input, then the game, then close the game and close x-arcade input each time?

You might want to check Xgaming’s site. They have had a method out for quite a while now to get their controllers to work with these games. I have a Tankstick and still use it in one of my cabinets. Currenty have SFIV, SFV, MK XL, and a bunch of other pc fighting games running in BigBox with the tankstick as the controller. 

Read this: specifically method 2

 

Do you have a script that calls out the x-arcade input? I stated that I have this method 2 working already, just trying to figure out how to get it running out of BB. Did you change your mame buttons? I tried this but couldn't get any response from the x-arcade tankstick while the x-input and mame was running and nothing was recognized.

Not sure how to explain this the best way .. but here's my thought process and what I'm trying to work through. I have a x-arcade tankstick - I get it, it was my first introduction to home arcade/emulation. My desire is to be able to launch Tekken 7 and the newer Street Fighter games, and who knows what other fighters are out there?? I'd prefer not to redo all of the key mappings, and not even sure that would matter since these games prefer to see something other than a keyboard for 2 player. I have the X-Arcade Input working without issue, pretty awesome actually. Is my only option to have this and the games run out of Big Box to write a script, or has someone already done this a better way?
