putnamto Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 ok, so me and my brother have been putting together an arcade cabinet running launchbox/bigbox, and everything seems to be working fine, for the most part. i got a couple questions a couple of his games require steam to be open for the controllers to work, mostly epic games junk, controllers dont like to play nice with them, and after fighting with the danged thing for a week it turns out adding the game to steam, and launching it through steam enables the controllers to work. so im wondering, is their a way to have LB/BB open a non steam game, through steam? im also getting fed up with the Xarcade he's using in the cabinet and want to go the route of using a USB encoder for the buttons, but im having a hard time finding one that supports Xinput, does anybody know where, or how i can get a usb encoder that basically acts as an xbox 360 controller? ive tried using x360ce to emulate dinput-xinput but the software is buggy and broken. any help would be appreciated.

I cannot answer the Non-Steam through Steam question as I do not use Steam. The Xarcade piece though I can. You can actually buy a new encoder from Xarcade that allows their controller to be switched between d-input and x-input. It is a simple swap out and your are up and running.
