For most emulators you will need to start the controller in x-input mode. Do this by holding down X and then press Start. Emulators needing motion control like Yuzu will need the controller started in Switch mode - Hold Y and then press Start. The back of your controller should have a sticker listing each mode startup combination.

how would i launch retroarch alone to set these settings?

Did you have LaunchBox install RetroArch for you or did you extract RetroArch yourself? Do a search in your LB folder for retroarch.exe. Run the program from there. Watch a few recent YouTube videos regarding "optimizing RetroArch" to get some suggestions to make it a bit less intrusive and a bit more responsive.

You purchased a Launchbox HD? Do you mean you bought a HD already set-up with LB and games?

Set these up as in for moving around in LB/BB or for in game play? For in game play you need to map controls directly in each emulator. In LB or BB in the options there is a specific controller mapping section, but those are only for use within LB/BB UI.

Good luck with that HD. Just note we typically do not troubleshoot premade builds like that for several reasons. I hope if you are using a licensed LB you bought the license from us and not that illegal rom seller.
