LaunchBox premium and gamepad support question

[BORIStheBLADE]

Hello!

I recently bought all the Descent games on Steam and would like to see if Launchbox premium could give me better wireless controller support. Currently I have been using a Sony DS4 for most of my gaming. With Descent I can't seem to get the controller to work at all. Would the added gamepad support make this possible? Any info would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

LB is only a launcher frontend. It only offers controller support to move around within its own UI. Anything else is up to the emulator or game or by using a 3rd party software (like Steam’s controller support).

Launchbox has no control over in game controls at all, so no it wont help with your issue im afraid. I assume Descent is a keyboard and mouse game which is why your controller doesnt work. You could use Steams controller support to map keyboard and mouse buttons to your controller in its UI. There may already be profiles other users have made ready for you to download.
