demeth Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I'm sure the version I launch alone and the version launched by Launchbox are the same, but still, when I launch retroarch, it detects my xbox one controller, but with launchbox, it shows xinput 0 smth, and the controller doesnt work. When using retro only, xbox one controller shows in retro settings, when using with LB, it doesnt, it says xinput smth. Any idea? its weird x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagamejunky Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Just a guess here as I’m using Rocketlauncher as my backend to launch RA. You didn’t specify a core being loaded or not. I’m guessing that LB is telling RA to load a config file and when you’re launching RA by itself the default config is being loaded? junky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demeth Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 That could be it indeed, I chose a core, but i'm not sure bow to make LB load a config file alongside retroarch. The game loads, so the core is working, but controller isnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Launchbox won't tell retroarch to load any specific configs, they have to be manually added by the user if required. That's a strange issue for sure though, I personally use a XBOX ONE controller with the wireless dongle and it works just fine when launching retroarch through launchbox. have you added any specific command to your retroarch in launchbox that could be messing with things?

demeth Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 The only command is to load the core afaik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Can you go to tools/manage emulators and double click your retroarch and check that your screen looks like mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 LB and BB do interact with controllers, obviously, but I've never had them change the way they're seen in RA. I'm not sure what would cause that. What's your Joypad driver set to in RA out of curiosity? It's under Settings -> Driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demeth Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hello guys ! My issue is fixed. The problem was not Launchbox per se, but the fact I launched it with Steam. I noticed some controller issues yesterday, with other steam games, and Steam controller's setting was the issue. I un-checked the xbox one controller custom settings, and rebooted my PC, and my issue fixed both with steam games, and with LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demeth Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Btw, quick question regarding retroarch. Do i need to have several emulators, all using retroarch with different cores, or one with all the cores? If i recall correctly, one is enough, but then, how do i tell the game to load the proper core? At the moment, i have several emulators, Playstation using retroarch + correct core, N64, using retroarch with correct core, etc etc... Back in the days, i think i just had retroarch (and others for other platforms not working on RA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where you specify certain cores to work with certain systems. You only need one copy of Retroarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 You can do one with all the cores - just add them in as different associated platforms for that one emulator entry, and add the corresponding core dlls for each one. You can split it out into separate "emulators" if you want to, but I only do this when I want to have multiple cores that I switch between for the same platform. So, for example, my primary Retroarch emulator entry uses BSNES-Mercury-Accuracy for SNES, but for a handful of games (MSU-1 games) I uses the SNES9x core, so I made a separate "emulator" and named it "Retroarch - SNES9x", and only added my super nintendo platform and directed it to the SNES9x core.
