I think I resolved this by just using the "Use Big Box as Windows Shell" option, but if anyone has any other ideas please post them.

This is an odd issue. My arcade stick is an Xtension 2-player with the I-PAC2 setup as 2 gamepads. Everything works great, but when I leave Big Box running, then come back to it after several hours, it doesn't respond to the arcade controls. I have to tap a key on a keyboard and then the arcade controls start working again. Not sure if Big Box is somehow losing focus after sitting idle for a while or what. If it is, I can't tell which app is stealing focus. This is on Windows 11 if that makes a difference. Has anyone else run into this?

Ok, I got it. For some reason it just won't let me do Button 9 + Button 10 for Close Active Window. I can choose Button 9 for Pause and I can choose Button 10 for Close Active Window, but if I try to do both at once it registers only one of them. If I use any other button combination it works, so I'll just do that. Thanks for the help. Edit: ok well I feel stupid. I just wasn't holding one down and releasing in the right sequence. It works now.

I tried that but it doesn't work for controller mappings. It always just does one of the two buttons you're pressing, not button X + button Y.

Is this possible without using a script? I have "Close Active Window" mapped to button 10 on the gamepad. It works great, but the "Exit" button on my Alphacade is right above the second player controls and accidentally gets hit by my kids a lot. Is there a way to get it to so you have to hold it down to exit or hold another button down to activate it? Either one would be fine. The automation mappings seem to be for keyboard only. Thanks in advance.
