Joystick encoder + RocketLauncher + LB/BB

[jfree427]

I've ripped out the Pi that came with my buddies cabinet setup and I'm installing a PC with LB. His setup came with joystick encoders rather than a keyboard encoder so I'm trying to get everything mapped out. I've remapped all the buttons in mame and both mame and RL work fine standalone. However when I launch a game via LB/BB, none of the buttons are functional within the game itself. Is there a setting I'm missing in RL or LB/BB?

If I change the emulator from RL to straight mame, the joystick buttons work as they should in LB/BB. I've honestly had enough of RL and its quirks, but I still like the bezel support for console games and how it hides the emulator loading screens.

Help is appreciated.

I've never used RocketLauncher but the reasons you give for having it can be done in the emulators or with LB/BB themselves.

Bezel support is built into MAME and RetroArch both and can be done without RocketLauncher.
If you want to hide the emulator loading screen you can enable startup screens in your LB/BB setup and they will display while your emulator is loading.

LB/BB simply open the emulator via command line. We don't alter any emulator settings, or reconfigure how the machine handles controller input so LaunchBox shouldn't be affecting input at all.

I've enabled bezel support for Mame so I'm good there. Maybe it is time for me to check out retroarch for the rest of my emulators and abandon RL.

Here's a helpful guide regarding stand-alone emulators and/or RetroArch cores to use, by system.
