[Controller automation vs emulator control mapping]

Hi, total n00b here and english not my first language.

 

FYI, I use arcade buttons (generic gamepad in windows).

 

First question; does Controller Automation works with Generic Gamepad in Windows?

 

If so, I want to know if I can map the same buttons in Launchbox Controller Automation than the ones mapped in my emulator.

 

IE:    I use MAME with Launchbox and in MAME, I mapped buttons 8 for [Pause] and button 9 for [Soft Reset].

         In Launchbox, I activated Controller Automation and mapped button 6 for [Hold], button 8 for [Volume –] and button 9 for [Volume +].

 

Should I be able to adjust the volume without triggering the MAME controls?

For now it doesn’t work. When I try to adjust the volume by holding button 6 and hitting 8 or 9, it pauses the game or does the reset.

 

Thanks for your help.
