PattyC4 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Long time ROM player, new to organising all the ROM's in programs such as Launchbox. Is there an easy way to switch between games while using a controller? Example: I play Super Mario World using a SNES controller, but then want to start playing Mario Kart. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I would recommend looking into Xpadder to create some shortcut commands - for example, I typically use a 360 controller and I have it setup so that when I hit back + left bumper on the controller, it sends an "ESC" input - I have Retroarch setup to quit on "ESC" and in the case of other emulators that don't have that functionality I have the emulator entry in LB setup with an auto-hotkey script to close on "ESC". I've never used it with a SNES controller, but I think it can be used with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niglurion Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Use the Automation input option and enable the gamepad in Launcbox. I use start + select for closing the emualor and navigate trough my collection with the gamepad. Big Box is much easier to use with a controller than launchbox.

Zombeaver Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 niglurion said Use the Automation input option and enable the gamepad in Launcbox. That works too. I like Xpadder because it let's you assign basically any input or combination of inputs to a button or combination of buttons on a controller - not just some predesignated functions. I use it for alt+tab as well, for example. The automation function is certainly faster/easier to setup though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerszr Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Going to try this xpadder out. Can i get a link? I want to make sure that Im getting on the right website. The freeware version i just downloaded said there was viruses on it. And since it's freeware... well... its not illegal and we can totes link it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe 5.3 is the last freeware version which I think is what I'm using - I know it's an older version anyway; and it works for me on W7 64 bit. It looks like it's on a few sites. Here's one from Major Geeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
