exit 7+8 button conflict

[19joey58]

i have launchbox configured for 7+8 combo to exit game, i would like to keep this combo as it universally closes from all platforms with all controllers. the issue i have is bliss-box gamer-pro detects controller's left and right triggers at 7+8. so when in a retorarch game launched by launchbox with flycast core and use both triggers a game it exits ... perfect.  except in soul reaver- legacy of kain the left and right buttons are 6, 7 mapped and configured in retroarch and the triggers work correctly in retroarch and in a game. HOWEVER ... when i select both triggers 6+7 to "look" in the soul reaver, launchbox sees default left and right triggers as 7+8 not 6+7 and the game exit ...not good.  i cannot remap in soul reaver as dreamcast has few buttons and all are used for other this in this game.  a workaround that worked for me was to clear the 7+8 exit combo in launchbox/tools/controller/mapping setting so then launchbox not longer takes precedence over retroarch mappings and now both triggers, 6+7,  give me "look" action in the soul reaver game. is there any alternative than turning it the convenient 7+8 exit automation in launchbox? . like pressing 7+8 combos TWICE to exit. there are likely more games / controllers / consoles with similar conflicts so id like to know ho to resolve.  thanks
