You should be able to leave the prioritize box unchecked. Both the video audio will play and the music file audio, then you would probably have to adjust the music volume level. There are setting for the video and music volume levels.

I just tested and it works. I dropped a music file in the backgorund folder. I did not rename it so it does not need to be a specific name. Then I set my sound setting in BigBox by checking “enable background music” and “prioritize soundtrack music over video audio”. Videos still play but only the music file is audible.

I think there is a background folder in the Music folder of your launchbox drive. Each system will have a named folder for music for the games there as well. I have not messed with music much, but I recall seeing that folder.

No issues here as I have been tinkering with RL lately. Is this a recent install? Try downloading RL and running in a new folder and see if the new on runs.

There are sound options in your BigBox settings to “enable background music” and one to “prioritize soundtrack music over video audio”. Try tinkering with the settings there.

There is actually a post where someone had images of controller button layouts as well as a way to get it to work here.

You should be able to go into the data folder of your launchbox drive and open the BigBoxSettings xml and see what key it may have been remapped to.

I would assume like any other mapping. Launch a game and hit tab and set the controls. That is all I did to map the controls to my Xarcade Tankstick. If I remember right the Ultrastick has analog capabilities so you should be able to map as analog like a flight stick. You would have to check their site for those steps. Unless there is anyone here that uses the US360 that could be of help.

I believe that is for games that may use throttle control such as Afterburner style games. You can map it to an analog device or map Inc and Dec to digital inputs.

You can remove the -fullscreen in the default command line parameters. If you open the emulator_multipcpu.exe there is a option under video settings to set your full screen resolution and then to "auto switch to fullscreen". Just an FYI.

Looks like there is a beta patch of Darius Twin. Some tracks missing MSU-1 implementation. Oh, and my goodness what is up with the music in the Mario drop? @Lordmonkus you are right about bad choice for the tracks.

Wow. Someone really felt like we need a Home Alone MSU-1.

@damageinc86 I think I have a USB controller somewhere I can test this for you when I am home, but you would have to let me know what to look for. That type of technical data I am not skilled in and I do not really use wired controllers anymore.

No worries. Any issues when you start setting them up let us know.

Yeah, I figured you may not be in the US like me so I just wanted to show you that even with an inexpensive dongle it works. Keep in mind I did have issues with another brand. I cannot remember the brand, but that Belkin one should do the trick.

I believe so which is why I mentioned to new one since it can be booted up as d or x input. However, even with the one he is looking at I rarely had an issue with many of emulators I use. Retroarch for sure worked flawlessly. Retroarch is great because if you forget to start the controller before RA launches it still will work when you turn on the controller.

They will work with most Bluetooth dongles. I linked to the one that I use in my earlier post.

Same here as @ckp mentioned. I have Xbox One S and it can be turned on after BigBox boots up. I did have issue where at times it would not work but that came down to be the bluetooth dongle as it would exhibit the same behavior in other software. With the new bluetooth dongle un upgraded firmware no issues.

@avaris The controller you listed will work fine. It was one of the first ones I used. 8Bitdo I think has a wireless N64 controller. I have no experience with it.

What Windows version are you using? Reason I ask is I had experienced some random connection issues with the 8Bitdo and a bluetooth dongle on Windows 7/8. Since moving to 10 those issues have not been present. To honest though the issue may have been the brand usb dongle I was using. I am using this one now with no issues. So keep that in mind. Make sure you update the firmware in the controllers when you get them. That helps a ton. With the firmware updated connection is quick. Lag wise I do not experience anything bad, in fact anytime it is present I can get the same lag with my Xbox One controller so it is not unique to the controller. You can connect both 8bitdo to the wireless receiver and have no issues. To be honest I cannot remember if we had issues when we used the Xbox One controller as well to play Mario Kart 8. I will test and let you know. I have not had any issues with the multiple controllers affecting mapping that may be due to the controllers I use and as Neil mentioned d-input vs. x-input. I highly recommend their new controller SF30/SN30 Pro. It has both d-input and x-input functionality so it makes configuring for a wide variety of emulators a breeze and Playstation style shoulder buttons for L1/2 and R1/2. About $15 more than the 1 you are looking at but the x and d input function alone is worth it.

I am still a young panther learning the ways of the ninja.

Hey you got it working so that is great. Not sure why either. Those are just telling the command to press and release. I do not mess with AHK much in fact I just really started learning more about it.

Keep in mind there are some views I believe in each theme that do not use background videos. So you would need the right view in a theme. Each theme usually has a few view style to choose from. Also there is a setting in BigBox in the videos settings to "Use background videos for games" as well as "use background videos for platforms". Checking or unchecking those can make a view different as well. edit: really @neil9000

Take a look at this video. He shows how to set stable contoller IDs with Mame. Maybe this can help you.
