sharkytowers Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Okay... I'm getting Launchbox/Bigbox all setup. I've been using a PS4 Controller (wired) for most of the testing. I understand getting the PS4 controller working well requires using 3rd party apps to emulated Xbox controllers (which I hate anyway as they hijack the PS button to be the stupid Xbox Control Bar). So I bought a 8Bitdo Pro 2 Controller. Nice controller. Got it paired in "D" mode as I don't like X mode since, once again, it hijacks the "Home" button to be the stupid Xbox Control Bar. Well... for a time I had Launchbox see the 8bitdo controller when I had "Use all controllers" checked. It seemed like it booted the PS4 controller. Now I can't get it to see the controller no matter what I do. Is it just a pipe dream to ever have 2 controllers of this type working at the same time? Gotta love RetroArch on linux... you just plug in the controller once, press a button and you're good to go wirelessly. All of this Windows bluetooth nonsense sucks. Anyone care to share a setup that works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 https://www.minitool.com/news/disable-windows-10-xbox-game-bar-001.html I have never had an issue with any controller bringing up the Xbox bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkytowers Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 @Lordmonkus Thanks for the reply. That particular issue is solved. However, this PS4 controller and 8bitdo pro 2 just don't want to co-exist. I can get the 8bitdo setup and working. Wirelessly and controlling Launchbox/Bigbox no problem. As soon as I connect the DS4 through bluetooth, neither controller will work in Launchbox/BB. In Launchbox I check and uncheck "Use All Attached Controllers", but no love. It's also interesting that once the DS4 is connected, the "Choose a wireless Device" turns to "Wireless Controller" and "8bitdo" is no longer on the list. Even after refreshing. I'm basically just trying to get a second controller working wirelessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Unfortunately I cannot help with that situation, I Just have a wireless Xbox controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkytowers Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Pretty sure I was having the controller problems with Gamecube. Some things have to be changed in the dolphin.ini file to get multiple controllers working. Here's the reddit thread about it. (So if someone else finds it they can get help) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
