When I try to update to the new beta, The Launchbox update progress bar disappears and the program locks up. Is there a download link to the beta I can try instead? So the crash happens when using the Big Details theme. Switching to the new default theme fixed the issue and allowed the update.

That's it. I would learn how to use that WinIpac program however so you can assign the button layout you want. It makes changes instantly once you choose so be careful.

Beta 8 was working. I have 3 screens, a 3440x1440p that does not get used while my arcade is on, a 720p Insignia TV (primary, arcade cabinet), and a 25" ultrawide as the Marquee. The primary and marquee have been working great in all betas of 9.4 up until now. Radeon RX480, Windows 10 64 Pro. I can try the newest AMD optional drivers tonight.

Bigbox multiple screens is broken now in beta 10. It refuses to show video on monitor 3 on my setup when selected as primary.

I want off of RocketLauncher completely, so implementing everything asked, even Bezels, is highly desired. While importing roms, it can ask "Use MAME/Retroarch Bezels"? As long as you can choose to turn any of those features on/off per preference, it would satisfy everyone.

You don't need .lst files anymore if you want to use lr-reicast. It loads .bin or MAME .zips natively now.

You have to flash the gamepad enabled firmware. It is identical to the non gamepad firmware except the gamepad section is now available. I just bought my xtension and the miniipac was several fw versions behind. (use 1.39 for the newest gamepad enabled firmware). In Launchbox's Options, check "enable gamepads" and the MiniIPac will show up twice acting as two controllers. I vastly prefer the Xtension controller as two Gamepads with some buttons left as keyboard keys (mouse L/R, Exit, Pause). The trackball and mouse buttons still work without issue. Since the Xtension Arcade Cabinet has a keyboard tray and a keyboard connected most of the time, why bother having the Xtension as another keyboard? It causes too many issues that need complete re-configuring every time you change images. EmulationStation configures everything easily, and Mame would only need Coin1/2 and maybe start1/2 remapped afterwards. So much simpler, and no longer triggering fast forward and other retroarch defaults when using the keyboard only config.

Forgot to mention, the layout is based on a DualShock 4 button layout which can be modified if desired via WinIpacv2. YXL1 BAR1 L2R2

I recently purchased the Xtension Arcade 32" Emulator Edition and had nothing but trouble trying to configure the controller on a Raspberry Pi with prebuilt images (as well as Launchbox). I struggled for weeks until I found a solution (which isn't anywhere on the internet apparently). Rec Room Masters uses a Mini-Ipac inside the Xtension controller, but it does not use the available "Gamepad Enabled" firmware which can see the controller as two separate Gamepad controllers when flashed and configured instead of just the keyboard. Firmware that starts with 1.4x is not gamepad enabled. Firmware that starts with 1.3x is. Luckily, the firmware can be easily flashed over USB. Note that only the last number determines how new the firmware is. 1.39 is the newest firmware that is gamepad enabled (1.49 is newest with keyboard only). To do so: Download WinIpac v2 https://www.ultimarc.com/download.html Download the MiniIpac firmware (same page) Use the newest 2016+ firmware for 2016+ Miniipacs. Please check to see if your controller/miniipac is 2016+ before flashing or you will brick the ipac. Run Winipacv2 as administrator and choose the "flash firmware" option with Miniipac1.39 firmware. It will install software/drivers and you will need to go back into winipacv2 again. You may need to unplug/replug in the controller after driver installation. Click Flash firmware again if the program does not automatically bring up the flash utility. Flash the miniipac 1.39 firmware. Once complete, exit and go back into Winipac v2. You may need to unplug/replug in the controller again after flashing. FW will now show as 1.39. Next, save a copy of your current config. The tool immediately overwrites any change, so having a default config saved saves a lot of headaches. Next, I will include a gamepad config in the post you can import/load to save time (later tonight), or you can assign buttons on your own. If you want to change on your own, change each 1SWX and 2SWX pin from key to Gamepad. Assign Button 1 to 8 to the 8 main buttons (for both Player 1 and 2). Button 9 for Coin One (my Select), Button 10 for Start. I have a working coin slot in my xtension arcade, so assigning select as coin 1 allows me to use coins for both consoles and Mame. I leave the other buttons alone. Doing this allows them to function in Mame as keyboard keys as they did before (hitting Menu brings up the Mame menu). I use a hotkey, so to exit most retroarch emulators I hold Coin 1 and the Exit button. Now I no longer have the nightmare of trying to config every individual emulator (and game with config overrides). This has made things so much easier and painless, and the option to revert back to the original config is a quick import away. This really should have been an option out of the box. It's nice seeing 2 gamepads appear and act independently when doing an ES controller config. I tested both sides and it works without issue across multiple emulators. It should allow games like SFV to function correctly without hacks as well. I have not tested the trackball, but since the trackball settings were untouched, Mame should still function with it. I actually haven't been able to get the trackball working at all yet... still figuring out which control setting I need to modify and which axis to use. Hope this helps others that can't stand the default keyboard only config which caused issues.
