Your settings in Launchbox and BigBox will not affect any emulator. LB/BB simply passes along the command line to the emulator to launch to game. It does not do anything related to emulator internal controls for games. You should be able to easily set your Xarcade in Retroarch.
I would first set the universal controls in Retroarch without a core loaded. Go into the options under the Gear Icon and set your Hotkey binds, User 1 Input, and then User 2 Input binds. Just scroll to each control, click on it, then hit the button you want it mapped to on your Xarcade controller. Save the config then reopen and make sure they stuck.
You can set per core controls, but first I would set the universal mapping, launch a game and test to make sure they work.
You can see from the image RA recognizes my Xarcade controls.

You will me able to create/edit your own themes. It will not be able to edit existing themes.

@wallmachine Seeing the same thing you are. If LB and BB are not set to the same Startup theme it always references the Default Theme shutdown. The Startup image does change, it is just the shutdown.
Edited: Removed the focus issue as it turns out I Nvidia Geforce Experience on. I thought it was odd as I never had it before. Geforce has caused numerous issues for me before.

Is this incorrect? I edited the following Default and it is working. I edited the Default Shutdown in the folder it doesn't display the edited content. I then edit the Default Shutdown in the Default folder and keep my Pandora selected in Bigbox and it referenced the Default Shutdown in the Default folder
You can edit the files named "default" in any custom theme. So "Default.xaml" and "Default Shutdown.xaml" in your Pandora theme can be edited.
You just cannot edit the ones in the theme named "Default". So the ones located in the Default theme folder cannot be edited as they will always revert back to ensure LB/BB has a working Default theme.

@Disco74 it is fine here. We are really not too strict on where a post belongs. I am going to close the one in Noobs and leave this one since it have responses already.

Just tried that, un-checking the auto populate doesn't get the playlist to appear when trying to add a game. Using different auto populate combinations to try and get them all and deleting the ones that spill over.
Is it one of the Auto-Generated playlists that Launchbox made or one you made yourself?
If it is one of the ones Launchbox makes then you would definitely need to do as Monkus advised. I believe a couple versions back those auto generated ones got removed from the "add to playlist menu".
Version 9.2 - Released December 20, 2018
- Improvement: Auto-generated playlists have been removed from the "Add to Playlist" menu option in LaunchBox in order to prevent the list from getting too unwieldy

I am running Cemu 1.15.4b as well. It's when I run Cemu in full screen using the "-f -g" paramaters in the Default Command Line Parameters. It is working fine if I go back one beta version in LB. So far this is the only issue I am having
I am running the same settings and have no issues. So definitely something odd.
That's why the beta tests though. Helps Jason see if issues occur on different setups. So many pc variations out there.

- Just updated to v9.8 beta 5. Now when I run a game using Cemu in full screen, all I get is a black screen. I turn off the Game Startup Screen and all works fine again. I have 2 PC's and the one that I did not update is still working fine. Still testing other emulators
What version Cemu are you on?
Just installed 1.15.4b and no issues with Startups and Cemu in BigBox. Pause seemed to work ok. The few tests I did on various games going in and out of pause did not show issues.
Tested more Model 2, Dolphin, and Model 3 and same results as my last post. Model 3 worked well. Model 2 and Dolphin the more times I went in and out of pause I would get black screen or frozen image, but still heard audio.

I do not think an update broke anything for it. I have one machine on the latest stable and another on the latest beta and attract mode runs fine. I would recommend doing as @Charco mentioned and set a key then test to see if it runs from the key press. Also check and see if by chance the settings for how long it takes to start attract mode did not get changed.

Hi, I auto generated playlists for my mame collection, but for some reason some playlists arent getting them all. So I just wanna add the few that are missing manually. When I right click to add to playlist there is no option to add to any playlist that has been auto generated. How can I do this?
You have to right click and edit the playlist and change it to a manual playlist versus auto.

how to correct: there is already an emulator with the name you specified ?
What exactly do you mean?
Any emulator name that may be prepopulated in Launchbox can be changed. You can call the emulator anything you like. Just click in the box with the emulator name and change it.

RA and Mame working well.
Super Model 2 and Dolphin seem to have issues every so many times you go in an out of pause. For both I get returned to either a black screen or frozen image screen but can hear audio in the back.
Super Model 3 so far has worked fine. I have not seen the issue like in Model 2 and Dolphin.

Thanks. Yeah I have tried that.
Still seems Bigbox only sees one of the USB controllers
What brand are they? I have a couple builds using some generic USB encoders from Amazon and some brand names like iPac and BigBox has had no issues recognizing both. If you unplug player 2 will BigBox recognize player 1 at all?

The videos should play. Do you have platform videos downloaded and are they stored in the correct location? What happens if you change views in the theme?

Maybe user run Windows Vista and dont have support really.
He stated he runs 7 in another post.

Ah, that's why @neil9000 is here to provide accurate data. ??. For some reason I thought he was on an older version since he keyed in the core config. Of course would have helped if I noticed the startup tab in the pic.

But Sir.. I've already have the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7 but it can't Install because my System isn't supported it
Unless I am reading wrong on Microsoft's webpage it says Windows 7 supports 4.7

What version Launchbox are you using? Looks like an older version. You have a typo in the core line.
the part with libretro;dll you need to correct. It should be libretro.dll

The emulator im using is arcade(FB Alpha 2012 Neo Geo) sorry im new to all of this
No worries. We should be able to get you sorted.
1. Please post the pics I requested in my earlier post.
2. Can you confirm that your NeoGeo games run directly in Retoroach without using Launchbox? It sounds like they do according to one of your posts.

Im using the emulator in launchbox for neogeo and games run there just not in launchbox thanx,
There are no emulators in Launchbox by default you have to choose the one you want to use and set it up. You said you followed and ETA Prime video, is it Retroarch you used for Neo Geo?
If it runs directly in the emulator and not in Launchbox some pics would be helpful of your settings.
In Launchbox go to Tools>Manage emulators and edit the emulator you are using for NeoGeo. Share a pic of the Emulator Details tab and the Associated Platform tab (make sure it shows the line with your Neo Geo platform listed).
Then choose a game from the Neo Geo platform you are having issues with and right click and edit the game. Share a pic of the Launcher tab and the Emulation tab.

By the sounds of your questions you are talking about Launchbox.
These are just your platform or playlist names, so just import a system or add a playlist with the names you want to use.
LOL. I was not even thinking of platform names when he mentioned "custom fields".
-
Are you talking about in Launchbox or BigBox? In either this would typically take theme coding to change the look.

Is this still a thing? If there is an emumovies discount is it only with the LaunchBox lifetime subscription? Or does it come with the yearly one as well? Thanks.
Discount should be still available. I cannot remember if it is only for Launchbox lifetime purchases or not, but I do recall the EM discount applies to their lifetime purchase.

Do you have videos checked to show in the game details pane? Click on the Game Details option and make sure video is checked.
Edited as I see you said you have auto play set.

help for X-arcade dual joystic config
in Troubleshooting
Posted
You have to map your controls. Not all of them will "just work" with the Xarcade controller. You need to use your keyboard arrow keys, the back key, and enter to move around to set your controls.
1. In the Hotkey Bind section set buttons for "Enable Hotkey" (this is the button you hold to activate hotkey) and a button for "Quit Retroarch". Then when you hold the button you set for Enable Hotkey and then hit the button for "Quit Retroarch" you exit the game/Retroarch. While in this section you can set keys for things like save states, and others.
If you spend sometime looking in Hotkey binds, User 1 Input, and User 2 Input sections you will find pretty much all controls you will need/want to set. Use the keyboard as I mentioned to move around, hit enter to select a control, and then hit the button on the Xarcade you want to map it to. Not really much to it.
When you are done, back out to the main menu, go to configuration, and then choose "Save Current Configuration".
The steps I am giving are just for universal controls. There is also a step to take to set per core controls. That way if you want a certain core to use a different control layout you can do that. In this thread if you go down to JoeVikings 3rd post he laid out easy steps to follow for per core config.
