latin625 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hi, I have a programmable joystick that can change controls on the fly by loading "maps". I can do it game by game using shortcuts to load, but wanted to know if anyone can help me in doing it by a list of games? I have a mame list below with the controls listed, but dont know how to even begin doing something like this in launchbox. Is this even possible? The list is abbreviated below.. just a few samples. Thanks, [Roms] 40love=4-way 4enraya=2-way 5=4-way 500gp=2-way-vertical 600=4-way 8bpm=4-way abattle=2-way abattle2=2-way abscam=4-way aburner=analog acedrvrw=2-way-vertical acombat=2-way acombato=2-way afire=2-way albatross=2-way alibaba=4-way alibabab=4-way alieninv=2-way alieninvp2=2-way alphaho=4-way alpine=2-way alpinea=2-way alpinerc=2-way alpinerd=2-way alpinesa=2-way alpinr2a=2-way alpinr2b=2-way amidar=4-way amidar1=4-way amidarb=4-way amidaro=4-way amidars=4-way amidaru=4-way amigo=4-way andromed=2-way anteater=4-way anteaterg=4-way anteateruk=4-way archrivl=analog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 If you can do it through command line parameters you will have use the custom command line option when you edit a game. So you will have to do it on a per game basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Though I am not sure how the software controlling you joysticks functions, if the custom command line doesn't work the "Additional Apps" tab and function may be more appropriate.

latin625 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 wow! That is a crazy amount of work. How about using Rocketlauncher? I now almost nothing of how to use it, but see a member on another board has given directions. I also see that it plays nice with launchbox. Is rocket launcher worth having? here is the link to the post on all the work already done. Just need to have rocket launcher in place... I think? lol.. http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/8411-ultrastik-360-programmer/?_fromLogin=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 You can give it a try but RocketLauncher is not something I use so I don't know what would be involved with it. As for your question of "is rocket launcher worth having" that is up to you. It's a debate that pops up around here every now and again and not one I am going to get involved with again. I don't use it and don't need it but that may be different for you, just know there is a decent learning curve to it if you have never even looked at it before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) ughhh.... I am hesitate to use it. I spent 4 or so years trying to get HS working and never could. Got LB and withing 30 min. had my entire library going. Gonna sleep on it, but leaning towards not doing it. Thanks for the feedback!!!

Lordmonkus Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Yeah I spent a month with HS + RL before throwing it in the trash after finding Launchbox and having it working in a matter of minutes. RL does have some extra useful functionality for some people, just none that I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I don't know but I don't think so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
