Controller doesnt work

I have launch box with NES and SNES games.  I have a Logitech F310 controller plugged into my laptop via USB.  Nothing works.  I've tried going to tools->options ->game controllers and checking "enable game controllers".  I have selected 'Gamepad F310' from the drop down.  It recognizes button changes on button mapping.  But when I launch NES or SNES games, nothing works.   Please help.

LaunchBox doesn't set up controllers for within emulators, you have to do that manually. Those settings are for controlling LB itself.

What emulator are you using, Retroarch? If yes, do you see any messages about the controller being autoconfigured? I thought the F310 had an autoconfig included with Retroarch, but you might have to update joystick profiles within Retroarch to get that.

I'm using Snes9x and Nestopia

If you are using the stand alone variants, you have to configure your controller within each emulator as required by each one.

That's an advantage of using the Retroarch cores of the same emulators, auto configuration of controllers. If it doesn't already have an auto-config, which I believe the F310 does, you configure it once and all retroarch cores use it.

Figured it out.   I simply had to double click on each direction and button and set them with my controller.  It's unintuitive because the default says "Up:"  and "Up".  "Down:"  and "Down".  So i thought it was set up already.  Now I know.  Oops, lol.
