TopGunBass Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Hi is it possible to map my arcade controls in launchbox. I tried and can't assign any buttons or joystick movement. Is this only possible in premium big box? Thanks Edited January 8, 2022 by TopGunBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this need to be done in each emulator. The premium feature for controls LB/BB does have is only for moving within the BB/LB UI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGunBass Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 That's what I need to know. I want to be able to scroll platforms and then game wheels to select games. I want to do this with arcade controls. Has anyone done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can work, but LB is more the pc front end that is better used with keyboard and mouse. BigBox is more the arcade frontend of our software and works seamlessly with arcade controls. You just go to Settings in BigBox and map either under Controller Mapping of Keyboard Mapping depending on how you arcade controls are seen by your pc.

TopGunBass Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Thanks. I don't have big box yet. I guess there is no trial version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormyblade Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 So...just to be clear...for someone that has a MAME-based arcade cabinet, and uses joysticks, buttons, and a trackball (plus a few other admin buttons) to control all entry into starting up and playing games, you'll need to purchase Big Box to map out controls to keyboard equivalents?

TopGunBass Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Stormy that sounds about right. No front end controls on an arcade with joysticks and buttons without big box. I have zero delay encoders so I think those are good for launchbox. 14 hours ago, Stormyblade said: So...just to be clear...for someone that has a MAME-based arcade cabinet, and uses joysticks, buttons, and a trackball (plus a few other admin buttons) to control all entry into starting up and playing games, you'll need to purchase Big Box to map out controls to keyboard equivalents?

cewing Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 So I came across this thread because I have been having issues trying to map out my Logitech G923 wheel to launch box. I am currently attempting to build a racing cabinet and chose Launchbox as a front end after some research. I downloaded the free version as I wanted to make sure all could work before taking the plung and purchasing a license. So, after reading this thread I see there is no way to map out controls in launchbox without a premium license. I decided to purchase said license to be able to map out controls and still noting works. Sure I can assign button, but buttons do not work. Bigbox is bigger joke! Not one control on the wheel works to navigate within Bigbox. I have waisted countless hours and now more money on a simple mapping issue. The true funny thing is, if I open retroarch directly I can easily map ever button there in their system no problem. And yes, I have GHub downloaded and connected to launchbox, bigbox, and retroarch.
