neil9000 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 You can hit escape on a key when selected to clear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Backup your BigBoxSettings.xml file in \Launchbox\Data\ folder just in case something goes horribly wrong and then delete the original, this should reset your BigBox settings to default.

Lordmonkus Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Press Enter and then the button you want to map that function to or reset it all by deleting your BigBoxSettings.xml after making a backup of it just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's controller buttons exclusively then to clear, I never bothered with any of the keyboard buttons as bigbox is for a controller couch use for me.

Lordmonkus Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Always a good idea to have a wireless keyboard around just in case you need it. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-007119-Wireless-Keyboard-Connected/dp/B014EUQOGK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1508984022&sr=8-3&keywords=logitech+k400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Tutorials for what exactly ? There are many of them here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSIht6UXIEXIgz4eXAEShxA/videos 3 minutes ago, GunerX said: nothing but bug after bug after bug What bugs ? Please don't confuse user inexperience and learning curve for bugs. I would just suggest taking things one step at a time. Start with some basic emulators and games, 8-16 cart based consoles are the easiest. Stuff with bios and CD images are more complicated. Worry about themes and views per platform later on once you got your systems and games. Soon you will find things make more sense as you get used to how everything works. Trying to do too much at once is always a recipe for problems and you won't know where something went wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug Bug (even if he doesnt want to admit that it is, it is) Bug(s) (did lots of testing with new beta versions that they gave me, didnt fix it) And there are more, but I got tired of posting since no one seems to think these "issues" are "issues". Its not an issue of "user inexperience", I have tried and tried and tried many different things (even switching over to the Beta in the vain hopes it would solve my problems), I've googled and googled, I've asked for help on these forums, most of the "bugs" that are being disregarded are still issues that I am having after almost a month now with Launchbox/Big Box.
