Big Box no detection for controller

[CoinTos]

Hi,

I can't seem to get Big Box to detect my Bliss-box 4Play controllers but Launchbox has each of them in the drop down menu and works so I am at a loss. Is it a minor detection bug or something I am doing wrong in Big Box mode?

Any ideas?

Hi CoinTos, that's odd. There is separate controller configuration for LaunchBox and Big Box, have you tried configuring your controller in Big Box?

[CoinTos]

Thanks for the reply. I am going to go with I believe so. So while in Big Box, I go to Options and under Controllers I have checked Enable Game Controllers but unlike when I used my xbox 360 controller there is nothing listed under Device: . Did I miss something?

[Jason Carr]

I assume you don't have Use All Controllers checked? That is strange that LaunchBox and Big Box are reporting different items in that list; so maybe we do have a bug. The only other thing I would say is to make sure your DirectX is all up to date.

[CoinTos]

Yeah, I don't have that checked, I am running Windows 10 Pro so I am pretty sure my DirectX is all up-to-date.

Unfortunately Windows 10 does not guarantee that you have all the DirectX stuff. Try downloading and installing this:

If that doesn't work then I'll have to do some debugging/testing.

Seems like the MS website is pooping all over itself right now though, weird. That link is only sometimes working for me, sigh.

[CoinTos]

OK, so that was a strike out on downloads. But according to my Nvidia control panel under help -> system information, I have the DirectX 12.0 runtime installed. So I am going to assume that is the latest because I can't find any other Microsoft downloads after 9.0c runtime and the july 2010 runtime update, both of those don't install in windows 10.

This is to the Direct X end user runtime installer it installs all the DX stuff that you could need.

 

[CoinTos]

Ok so that link provided by DOS76 (thanks) did install a bunch of DirectX updates but still no device listed in Big Box.

[Jason Carr]

Okay, that's a first. I'll check to see if there's any differences in my controller logic between LaunchBox and Big Box.

[DOS76]

So your BlissBox works in one but not the other or you can't get either to recognize BlissBox?

[CoinTos]

Works in Launchbox but not Big Box.
