Lordmonkus Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Can you not remap it in the controller settings in BigBox ? You should be able to navigate to it using the keyboard and press enter and then the button you want for Select and Play in the Controller Buttons section.

BenRob Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 I am trying to set my arcade cabinet up so I only use the joystick and arcade buttons I have everything else working great I can highlight any game but I can't figure out how to start the highlighted game using only arcade buttons I don't want to use a keyboard I'm trying to make it like a true arcade cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'm just saying use a keyboard to help map the buttons, then you can get rid of the keyboard after. Though I would still suggest having a wireless keyboard hooked up and nearby just in case you need it at some point, it is a PC afterall and things can and will go wrong. Open BigBox and go to the "Controller Buttons" section of the options. Then highlight the "Select" and "Play" buttons, press the Enter key on your keyboard followed by the button on your controller you want mapped to those 2 functions. Play will just straight up load the game and Select will take you to the next screen for that game where you can do some extra management like pick another emulator or mark a game as a favorite.

Lordmonkus Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I cant see why it wouldn't work since you mention it does detect your controller and you can scroll through and highlight the games.
