blp345 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 hi all, Im trying to get involved with snes9x, launchbox and bigbox. I can get bigbox working through my nvidia shield tv but having trouble getting my shield controller and wired xbox 360 controller to work with the snes9x but with no luck. I guess now i should purchase a new controller to get this working? What is the best controller to work with this setup pls? Many thanks BLP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I prefer authentic controllers into USB adapters if possible . Someone else posted about a hori fc commander if I recall . It looked pretty good for an all around controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks BLP As far as I know, NVIDIA Controller uses xInput, if you first map snes9x with an xbox controller or any other xInput controller, you should be able to use it with the nvidia Shield, or map it while using the shield connected.... This is all theoretical, but I do have a shield and can give it a try tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natemac00 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) But the Newer model of the XBOX One controllers uses bluetooth, so unlike the xbox 360 controllers and the first generations of the XBOX One controllers, you don't need a dongle if your PC already has bluetooth... and you can use it on the shield as well. That's the one I like. Edited October 3, 2017 by natemac00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natemac00 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 It’s not an install it’s a type of controller you have direct input and x input. Xbox and shield controllers are Xinput types of controllers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 9 hours ago, blp345 said: to work with the snes9x but with no luck Are you trying to use the stand alone version or Retroarch ? I know the stand alone can be a little funky with controller setup but nothing too far out of the ordinary, I recommend Retroarch and the Snes9x core in it if BSnes is too taxing. And it is I who loves the Hori Fight Commander but I have no idea how well it plays with an Nvidia Shield. For any games that doesn't require an analog stick it cannot be beat if you don't want to muck about with crappy d-pads and USB converters.
