Hey folks,
Background: Loving Launchbox so far, with the Xtension Emulator Edition Plus stick. It reads as a keyboard, which is perfect, since my main application is MAME, and it worked out of the box. Within Launchbox, I have other emulators set up. Most are configured as cores inside Retroarch. One of those is Nestopia.
I've gone through the effort of entering all my player 1 controls into Retroarch, with no core loaded. The joystick's associated keyboard keys are numpad8, numpad5, etc.
When I load a NES game:
1) buttons are fine, including A, B, and Select -- apparently my global controller config is carried through for buttons!
2) ...but the player1 joystick doesn't respond
In retroarch, hitting F1, you get to a quick menu and the D-pad controls *do* reference the global Retroarch labels, i.e. D Pad Up for up, etc. And when I navigate over to the global player 1 controls, it indeed shows D Pad up as "numpad8" -- which is exactly the keyboard key associated with pushing the keystick up.
Am I missing something basic? Any ideas?
