Anson Cards Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I am using two joysticks with USB encoders. MAME, Retroarch, Windows 10, etc. all work correctly with no tinkering (90% sure I installed the joysticks correctly). But the X-axis and Y-axis are switched in Lauchbox and BigBox (Up = Right, Left = Up, Down = Right, Right = Down). How do I change this? I looked in the following places before posting here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hVGF22vhOI&list=PL6pTDaHeAz-WMcNURVPU-1xLN_TVpT3FB&index=6&t=0s (unrelated as my joysticks do not use keyboard commands) https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/38683-remap-joystick-axes-in-bigbox/ (no replies to this post) https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/46312-invert-joystick-for-big-box-navigation/ (no replies to this post) Thank you in advance!

Anson Cards Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 If I could just get a "You can't configure joysticks with LaunchBox" or something similar, I would appreciate it. I'm only following up because: (a.) Similar questions were asked twice before from other users as far back as 2017 without any responses, and (b.) Flipping joystick axis is a standard option in most PS4/XBOX/PC games I have played - hard to believe this isn't possible with a simple config edit. So let me know if I am just being daft.

This is a rather small community so unfortunately sometimes posts get missed. Even though it shows views maybe those who viewed it did not know the answer and those with the answer missed viewing.

That same option exists in BigBox as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That same option exists in BigBox as well. Apologies for the long delay in responding. I got the dreaded "Launchbox won't launch" issue. Nothing from the forums worked until I tried the suggestion of running SetUp from the Updates folder. That worked! Many thanks to SentaiBrad for that tip! Retro808: Your suggestion worked! Thank you! I had previously remapped the Navigate Up/Down/Left/Right controls. But your suggestion made me try remapping the mouse controls. For some reason, that was not intuitive to me (remapping the "mouse" controls to navigate with the joystick instead of remapping the "navigate" controls to navigate with the joystick). It was a simple solution to a silly understanding problem on my end. Again, many thanks to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
