I may have some more testing to do on my end. I was assuming that Steam needed to be open, but with BigBox as the focused window. Currently I'm using a Switch Pro Controller, and when I look at templates for Desktop Configuration I don't see anything listed. I'm guessing the Pro Controller has a more limited use on Steam than XBOX or PS controllers, and there just haven't been any templates built for it. I bought these controllers specifically for the little guy, because Mario is his favorite thing. Again, thanks you so much for your help, I will spend a little more time with it myself and see if I can't get it figured out a little better, and hopefully get it all working.

That pretty well sums it up. Thank you for such a useful tool, and for sharing your talents with us. I do have one other question. When using it seems as though when Big Picture is not minimized the controller does not respond normally in BigBox, it is using the Steam Desktop Controller profile. I did manage to work around that, by turning off the profile, but this still has some drawbacks. I am far more familiar with BigBox, than Steam, how do I set up the desktop profile to respond like a regular controller to eliminate the minor niggles that I am having. (My friend's son is six, and her and him used to live with me. He fell in love with gaming during that time, but now has nothing to play on. I am trying to set up something that he can use to play his favorite games that were on my rig, while keeping it simple to navigate, for him and his mother. Who now live 80 miles away.) Again, thank you for the thorough response, and no rush. Happy Holidays!

Hello all, I am just now getting this going. Curious though, how do I use the BigBox hotkeys to exit a game back to BigBox? It always seems to just minimize the emulator window, then open Steam.
