I use different controllers for a couple different purposes depending on what game i'm playing in Launchbox. I have an 8bitdo SNES-like controller for NES/SNES games, an arcade stick for fighters, and a retro-bit sega saturn wi-fi controller for Sega stuff. The issue comes in using these controllers for navigating big box. The confirm/back commands are mapped that would basically be the "B" and "A" buttons of an Xbox 360 controller. Corresponds to X/O on a playstation controller and A/B on an 8bitdo controller and works wonderfully on just about everything except the retro-bit controller, where the mapped button commands confirm to "X" (for confirm) and "A" (for back) respectively. This isn't a huge, but I'd really like for the retro-bit to use "A" for confirm and "B" for back. But since it has on button in common with all the other controllers as big box reads them I can't make the change without effecting the layout for everything else I don't think. Is there some of multiple controller profile for big box commands I haven't found yet, any other way I could potentially get around this issue for this controller and futures ones I might like to add?

Just found these and quite like them, has anyone made an entry for the "Genres" category, perhaps? It's the one thing missing from my wheel list..

I don't really know what happened. I was messing around with platform categories and playlists and noticed that somehow a large number of arcade titles had lost all their pictures. I thought I correct this by refreshing all images, but that resulted in *everything* in the Arcade category losing it's image and video associations. It all looks likes this now, but nothing has been deleted, all the files are still where they're supposed to be. Is there an easy way to fix this?

I sat down to play some stuff on my 4K tv through steam link last night only to find it was unplayable due to controller issues. I had this set up a week ago with no problem so I'm mystified how it has suddenly become an issue. Basically, my controller behaves normally in steam big picture mode and big box, and when I start a game retroarch recognizes an xinput controller. From there, everything falls apart as retroarch seems to take my inputs as keyboard commands. I can this is the case because if I activate the retroarch menu on my desktop and try to change inputs with my controller from there, it's reading every button as a keystroke. For example, start is mapped to the esc key, so if I hit start it thinks I'm trying to quit. Dpad controls work but I can't access any of my hotkeys or even play the game because it's not reading the right inputs. I tried this with two different controllers: an Xbox 360 controller and a TE2 arcade stick, both xinput and both have the same issue. When I start retroarch independently through steam link, this doesn't happen and it recognizes inputs as coming from the controller and not they keyboard. I tried taking steam link out of the equation and launching games on my desktop PC in several ways: with basic launchbox, with big box, and with bigbox through steam big picture mode. I had no issues at all when i did any of these with my controller connected to the PC. The only way in which this seems to happen is when I am launching a game through big box over steam link, which is naturally my preferred way to play. It's incredibly frustrating to spend so much time and effort configuring all my cores, tweaking controller settings, getting the stream stuff to work correctly, and then finally feeling "done" and able to play my games and then having an issue like this pop up because of unknown computer voodoo that happened between the last time it worked correctly now. I hope someone can help me figure out why this is happening!

I use a sega saturn controller with a mayflash USB adaptor to play Saturn and Genesis games through Launchbox. I have no problem playing using to play through launchbox directly on my PC, but things seem to get weird when I try to play it through the steam link. While I can use the controller normally when navigating through the big box UI, as soon as I boot up a game very few of my buttons seem to work. If I press start for example i'll just get the steam HUD (As if I had pressed the guide button on an xbox controller) and can't really do much else. Since this only happens when I try to play a game on big box through Steam, I am guessing Steam is doing something to get in the way of the process here but am not sure what or how to get rid of it while also retaining the functionality I need to use the controller in big box mode and such. Has anyone else encountered this issue or one similar to it? EDIT: Well just after I posted that I fixed (it needed to be configured in steam as xbox controller and not a generic controller), feel free to delete.
