TLDR: If you have Launchbox Premium, clear the Exit Game option Game Controller Mappings in Launchbox. This option does not exist in the free version of Launchbox. You are correct. I was trying to diagnose it with every avenue I could think of, wondering if it was somehow reading the config of my other Retroarch folder where Select+Start is quit. I didn't have any controller virtualization running, at least intentionally, but I turned everything else off to test and it still happened. Well everything except Retroarch...and Launchbox. In Launchbox options, there's a setting at the bottom of the list for game controller mappings. You only get access to some of these functions if you have a premium Launchbox license, which I do, and I imported C64 Dreams into my existing library. One of those functions is Exit Game which was mapped to Button 7 + Button 8. So after clearing that mapping, it works as expected. Thanks for the help.

Fantastic project I just got it set up today. I have a problem with the controller. Your controller diagram shows Combo + Start = Show controls. It also shows Combo + Start = Esc/Runstop. So when I am playing a game and press Combo + Start, the image of the controls pops up for a second and then Retroarch closes. What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure what you're asking for help with. The link I have is for Steam, but you can buy most of them digitally at other stores too.

Hi guys, I created this steam group/curator to recommend games that are good for arcade cabinets. It took a while to test out all the games, so I hope someone can find it useful. I also recommend some good arcade games on GOG. Basically, it's games that work well without any special controller mapping software. Feel free to make any suggestions. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/homearcade#

Just wanted to chip in my hope to remap the controls too. I use the I-Pac 2 usb controller and the button placement makes big box difficult to use for my arcade cabinet.
