Noob needs help UILAOS Game Pad

[jcyshin]

Hello Everyone, 

New to the forums so not sure how things work, if I posted in the wrong place or stepped on anyones toes I must apologise in advance. 

Truth be told, I have been using Retropie for a while, tried Batocera for a while also. they both seem to run off the same linux distro but I can never get Play Station Games to work. I even downloaded PPSSPP and still can't get it to work. 

So I thought I would give Launchbox a go, if all goes well then I can get Bigbox , which would be the ultimate and never have to worry again system. 

1st question, I can't even get my UILAOS Retro Gaming gamepads to work, so can't even test out launchbox properly. 

2nd question, how do I get PSP to work on Launchbox, the games wont load past the first image screen. I guess PPSSPP runs in the background. 

3rd question, is it just my hardware?

AMD Phenom II X4 965BE, Asus M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3, Crucial Balistix 16GB 4x4GB sports RAM at 1600Mhz, OCZ  60GB SSD, Kingston 240GB SSD. I haven't put a GPU in yet as I accidentally cut  a wrong wire so need a new PSU so I have enough power or a 8pin to run my Asus Strix GTX970, or Sapphire Radeon 5870 2GB. 

I don't know how launchbox works. please help me ?
