SO SINCE THE DEATH OF LAUNCHBOX ANDROID...

[PiperCalls]

Hi,

So since LA is no longer being developed I was looking for another way to enjoy the great LB/BB experience for my "couch" gaming sessions on my Shield TV. I've tried a few of the Android frontends (Arc Browser, Reset Collection, etc) and they all work fine but don't have the pop that LB/BB (on PC) has.

So...I setup Gamestream to my STV. I have my main LB/BB PC setup in a Arcade Cab. Almost everything is working great with GameStream to the STV, I get the nice BB experience, games launch, etc.

Here's the rub...on my Arcade Cab I have an F350 (wired) controller that work great. On my STV I have a Sony DS4 (Bluetooth) setup and it works great as well. But...on the STV, while the DS4 controller works fine in the BB frontend, in the emulators it isn't recognized. I'm new to this setup so I'm pretty sure because GameSteam is literally just streaming from the PC to the STV, so the DS4 would have to be setup on the PC in the emulators as well. Is that correct?

Assuming that is the situation then is it possible in most emulators to have both the F350 and the DS4 setup simultaneously? I have several emulators but primarily I'm using Retroarch, Dolphin, PCSX2, RPCS3 and CEMU that covers 80% of my library.

The reason I would need to have both controllers setup simultaneously is that if I'm playing at my Arcade Cab of course I want the F350 to work and if I'm playing at my STV then I want my DS4 to work. I did fiddle with Dolphin and I can setup the DS4 for control but it seems as though I have to go to my Arcade Cab and select the DS4 controller before I get control at my STV and conversely if I'm playing at the Cab then I have to open Dolphin and select the F350 to get control.

Just wondering if anyone has a similar setup and any tips/tricks to get this working correctly? Note...I do not want to have the DS4 as my primary control at the Arcade Cab, I like the F350 wired controllers for serious gaming sessions.

Thanks for any tips...Piper
