chowley Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hi, guys. New poster here. I just upgraded to BigBox and now my controller only works in the BB menus, not in the cores lunches by Retroarch. Wasn’t an issue when using LaunchBox prior to the upgrade. Any insights are appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 BigBox does not touch controller setup in the emulators themselves. If your controls aren't working in the emulator then you most likely changed something in the emulator itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowley Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Thanks for joining in! This is a very curious situation. I activated the license, fired bigbox and then launched a Genesis emulator and noticed the issue immediately. Might be some sort of weird bug. I’ll do another check on all the controller settings and see if maybe something was tweaked but I’m not sure how it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it does is pass the rom you have selected to Retroarch via commandline, it's not even aware of the config files or how to alter them even if it wanted to. So something got changed somewhere along the line, but not by Launchbox/Bigbox i'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowley Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 I un/reinstalled Retroarch and now the controller works great again...except now LaunchBox won’t play any games. Deleted the original RA under Manage Emulators and added a fresh instance. No games launch. Uninstalled LB and then reinstalled but it retained the entire games list and nothing plays. Anyone know how do I perform a complete uninstall of LaunchBox, removing all the junk the uninstaller leaves behind? Very unfortunate how this all happens right after I pay up for the premium version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 You shouldn't need to uninstall and reinstall LB. When you added a fresh instance of the Retroarch emulator in LB did you name it the same as before or did you change the name ? Use the bulk edit tool in a platform to re-set your games emulator. Select all the games and press Control + E to start the bulk edit tool, select the emulator entry from the first drop down menu and then in the 2nd dropdown pick your new Retroarch emulator entry. Also make sure that all your associated platforms are set correctly with the proper core that you want to use and make sure you have downloaded the cores you want to use.
