Ok so oddly it is working again but I would still hope to hear from someone if they can see something in the log file that may have been the issue. I went back a version or 2, then went back to the latest and still had the issue, Made sure my Windows OS was updated (Win 10) and it was. I literally did nothing but let it sit for hours then tried it again and now all loads and runs without errors and control issues..??? LMAO... Maybe it had a rough night last night! Any insight would be welcomed but it does seem to be working as it has the past 6 years 🤷‍♂️

Error on launching Big Box only! Launchbox launches and runs fine, all games play without issue and all controls on my control panel work. When I try in BigBox I get the attached error 'almost' every time and clicking 'close' on the error kills BB as well. Occasionally (maybe 1 out of 20 load attempts) I can get past the error but when I do, my control panel won't work. I can use a keyboard but no controls like I can in LB. Odd because this just happened last evening without any changes or updates, Before this I have had no issues at all so I am a bit stumped. Updated to 13.19 now but tried reverting back to an older version and error continues. Tried using a backup settings file and same issue continues.

Thank you for the response. I would have to guess it is not keystrokes, but I have gone into the controller mapping....selecting navigate up of the joystick then LB/BB waits for input....I can push the joystick or any buttons forever and nothing will register as an input which is my point of confusion using my keyboard to launch a game works, then the game is playable with all my controls so they do work and are recognized within the emulator, just not at all in BB and only as a mouse in LB EDIT: I deleted the settings/input/bb settings.xml files and started over....it works now with the ones that are already programmed in BB controller mapping....it doesn't seem to let me program the mappings that are labeled {none} to any buttons, but I do have the ability to navigate menus, launch games, and go back to the menu now so that is 100% better...not sure what changed as my settings are the same but happy it is working

I am usually pretty good a figuring this stuff out but I am lost, maybe just frustrated and missing the obvious. Strictly using MAME emulator (adding Daphne at some point) Zero delay USB encoder with Sanwa joysticks/buttons Joysticks and buttons all work perfectly within the emulator, if I run Launchbox (free version), joystick 1 will act as a mouse moving the cursor around instead of like an arrow button jumping from menu item to menu item, button 1 will enter and launch the game .......That said, within BigBox, joysticks and buttons are not recognized at all, I can go into controls, keyboard, mapping, it won't even recognize a move of the joystick or push of a button. I have had MAME for years and years but just recently added Launchbox as I have finally built my cabinet....upgraded to BigBox today so would appreciate any insight as to why it won't see my controls to operate the menu...even if it is telling me I'm an idiot, or even to get a different encoder like an ipac.. Thank you in advance Bax
