They are not mapped the same. I didn't check the whole controller but I know the main buttons are different. Using Joytokey here is how they are reading (looks like they are slightly reversed). The problem I am having is Ds4windows is not seeing my controller at all. I followed this video and when he connected his PS4 controller it popped right up. My Power A (non supported) doesn't seem to pop up in the software. A good video for newbies to Ds4windows. You don't need to follow the website's messy installation instructions. This is much easier. Install the software and open. Go to the settings tab Click on the Controller/Driver Setup link. Here you can install the ViGEmBus, HidHide, FakerInput Drivers (built right into the software).

No. It is not a Switch Pro Controller. It is a PowerA GameCube style switch controller. There's a link there if you want to see it.

Thanks! Installation went pretty smooth except I don't understand how to install the FakerInput driver. The link sends me to Github, and I can see where to download the package as a zip file, but it doesn't contain any installation files. This seems like source code or something? I can read a little programming, but am not a programmer. Maybe I am clicking the wrong download link? Unfortunately it doesn't seem to support the controller I am trying to use. (Ds4Windows doesn't seem to recognize my controller?) Then I saw this and thought I would share for those who are new to Ds4Windows. You might want to check out the supported controller list first; https://ds4-windows.com/supported-controllers/. The main goal is to use these PowerA GameCube style controllers for GameCube and N64. They are very nice, and feel almost like the original GameCube controllers. https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo-Switch-GameCube/dp/B07GXLBCC3. I emailed the Ds4Windows devs asking if they had any plans to add them to the compatibility list. We'll see what happens.

"i also use ds4windows for my ps4 controller but i am not sure if it does the job our friend requires. it supports very old joysticks with adapters ?" I never said I was using old USB. That was someone else's comment. Most of my controllers are wireless (xbox360) or bluetooth (switch pro, dualshock). It sounds like ds4windows is the better option for newer controllers? The goal would be to no matter which controller I am using for whatever console; I could pick it up, turn it on, and it would just work (correctly mapped).

I am trying to find a good tutorial on how to map multiple controllers to Launchbox to match the console I am playing. For instance, Using a Playstation 2 controller to play Playstation 1 & 2 games, an Xbox 360 controller to play Xbox games, a Gamecube style Nintendo Switch controller to play Gamecube games, etc. Does Launchbox have this feature?
