Retrofrogg Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Yep, that was turned on already. Nothing in the list there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Yeah so LB doesn't see it you can look into antimicro that might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Do does LB lack support for the NEOGEO X controller? And if so, can this support be added as I am sure that I am not the only one with this controller! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I haven't heard of many controllers not working with it so I don't really know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Could any of the mods/devs comment on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Well, LB does not seem to see it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 I just fiddled around with it some more. It is listed as a HID-compliant game controller in Device Manager, and if I go to Game Controllers in control panel, it is listed there (as NEOGEOX Arcade Stick). If I click on properties there, I can test the controller and all inputs seem to be registering no problem. Still doesn't register in LB or BB!

ckp Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Hi @Dan , at least for the time being if you really want to use it, you could use free Antimicro to set the controller up using keyboard mappings as was suggested earlier, as long as Antimicro can recognize your controller, that is. But the painful part would be turning off/on Antimicro when going into games if you don't want to reconfigure your emulators to use the Antimicro keyboard mappings. So, if you don't want Antimicro active when launching games, you would have to setup a simple autohotkey script for each emulator in Launchbox autohotkey tab that basically kills the antimicro running process and then starts it back up on pressing escape when exiting games. Not ideal, but it should work. Edited January 11, 2017 by ckp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I honestly don't know. If it's showing up in Windows with a driver, it should be viewable in most software. If it is emulating a keyboard though, LB and BB would use it like a keyboard. If it's being treated more like a controller, then it should be good. Have you tried checking to use all controllers connected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hi @Dan, unfortunately weird stuff like that is extremely hard to troubleshoot without having the device on hand. Really, all game controllers should be showing up in LaunchBox and Big Box, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be. Have you tried "Use All Controllers" to see if it works that way?

Retrofrogg Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Thanks for the further replies. I tried anti micro but funnily enough it doesn't see the joystick. Sounds like anti micro would be more hassle than it's worth anyway! Sentai - yes I tried with and without the use all controllers option - no difference. Jason - yes I can image that it could be. It's a fairly cheap joystick - why don't you buy one and you can look into it? I can image that there are other Launchbox users who would like to use the Neo Geo controller.

Jason Carr Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Can you send me a link to that NeoGeo controller? Also, have you tried it without the USB C adapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Certainly, here it is: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/PC-Video-Games/New-2013-Neo-Arcade-stick-Controller-STOCK/B00B85XKU8/ref=sr_1_sc_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1484750027&sr=8-4-spell&keywords=neogeox Or: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Neogeo-x-Arcade-Stick-For-Use-with-the-Neogeo-x-Station-Only-NEW-/351934494632?hash=item51f0ee37a8:g:iNAAAOSwnHZYU6qc Or: http://neogeox.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=51 Or: http://www.superufo.com/products/snk/SNK_NeoGeo_X_Arcade_Stick.html Hope his helps! I haven't tried it without the USB adapter as my machine is USB-C only. I will try it on another machine in the house, hopefully later today, and let you know.

kimpe Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I don't know if this will even help, but I have a Neo Geo X gold USB on a PC. The first time I plugged it in it worked perfectly. The second time it wasn't recognized. After some trial and error I discovered that if you plug it in and re-boot it works every time. So, I just keep it plugged in all the time and no problem! And it works just fine in Big Box Mode. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickedmonster Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I'm having similar problems with this joystick not being recognized by Launchbox. It is working fine in Retroarch, EmulationStation, and other emulators. Has anyone ever looked at this since? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpT Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Having this issue right now - 2x NEO GEO X Arcade sticks connected. Reads in Windows and in MAME but not LB/BB. Doesn't show in the devices list. Tried restart etc... I'll look into Joy2Key or something as a workaround but would be nice to have these working without needing other applications. I suspect it's to do with it not liking both plugged in at once (might troubleshoot this further, will post back if i find anything of note). Incidentally, On the rapsberry PI it wouldn't work with 2 connected which is why I'm now building my mini NEO-GEO using using a windows mini-pc instead...

RpT Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 UPDATE: Tried the other app mentioned in this thread, for me JoyToKey has been working very well in this setup and would be my recommendation if you are using these sticks (you are going to have trouble in various emulators). If I were starting this build again, I would probably hardware mod at least one of the sticks to use a different controller board (fightstick PCB or cheap controller from amazon, i-pac, whatever), assuming I don't mind changing the original hardware. They are a great feeling fightstick but detection is hit and miss across different emulators / OS / frontends since they were only really ever designed to be used with the Neo Geo X. Doing the hardware mod would allow them to work as a pair on the raspberry Pi I suspect, so in that case it might be the only viable option.
