ymo1965 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hi Folks, I have installed the C64 emulator (vice) and unable to work out how to swap joystick ports. Would also like to know where I need to go to edit or display each of the emulators settings. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Usually in Vice it's ALT-J to swap joystick ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymo1965 Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Thanks, but I tried that after reading another thread before. Didnt appear to work. Does anyone know how to access the actualy emulator settings? I right-clicked the name 'Commodore 64' (left hand side) but the settings there werent in-depth enough. Was happy to buy this, but disappointed I'm having such stupid issues with something that should be easy to solve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Launchbox is just a launcher, it has no control over actual emulator settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymo1965 Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Yes, I kind of figured that but not sure where the actual emulator locations are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Are you using the RetroArch VICE core by any chance? Or are you talking about the standalone emulator, which you probably had to install yourself and you would know the location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymo1965 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Not sure. I chose C64 and it installed itself. Say's 'Vice x64, Fast' when loading a game. I had no input with settings or anything. I just pointed Launchbox to the game/rom folder and that was that. Need to find some settings to solve this. Just paid for the Premium version and feeling like I wasted my money if I can't use it properly. I'm sort of real suprised an important setting like this isn't easier to find.

Again, this is nothing to do with Launchbox, no matter if you have premium or the free version, you will still need to setup all of your emulator settings yourself. Launchbox just launches the emulators with a game loaded in it, all actual emulator settings like controls, resolution etc you will have to manually set yourself on a per emulator basis, in said emulator, there are no settings for this in Launchbox itself.

Belgarath Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Sounds like you're using the RetroArch VICE core. First of all, please bear in mind that RetroArch is not part of LaunchBox, the money you paid is for LaunchBox/BigBox. RetroArch is a completely seperate (and free) program; and as Neil already said: "Launchbox is just a launcher, it has no control over actual emulator settings." But to (hopefully) answer your question, try pressing the right control key on your keyboard and that should switch ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymo1965 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Quote Yes, I understand now that it's just a front end. The right control key doesn't do anything. In fact I think the controller (XSX) isn't even configured. Thought it may of been setup in the emulator settings when it detected the controller. I was hoping I could right-click the emulator name for settings on retroarch but there's nothing. If I could find where these settings are, I could probably set it up and the controller too. Any idea's where I could get to the retroarch settings? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 When it RetroArch, just press F1 to get to the settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymo1965 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Thanks very much. Do you know where I need to go to change to another c64 emulator? change from vice to another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
