Controls - LB/BB vs Emulators

[dugan26]

Hi All -

Thank you for reading my post and any support you can give.

Do i have this right?

1- When you go to the tools  in LB see pic below - these are the controls for LB and how to maneuver around and get to your game. 



2- Do these also need to be mapped separately in BB? Or does LB setting carry over?

3- once you click PLAY a game, then it goes to the emulator settings. So whatever you have  programmed in the emulator is what your controls will respond to.
3A- The only option in BB is to "exit current window" which then kicks me back to BB (working good).

I cant play a game directly from LB. No controls work - every button just "exits" me out of the game. Is this correct? or can i select a game directly from LB? and play

1) Yes.

2) Yes.

3) Yes.

3A) Correct, Its "Close Active window"

The exit game option is labled differently in Launchbox, its simply labled "Exit Game" As for any button exiting the emulator, that is obviously not correct, either you have a bunch of buttons set to exit the emulator or you are hitting escape which exits most emulators. Any mappings you have done in Launchbox or Bigbox have zero effect on any emulator controls they need setting up in the emulators themselves.

In my pic above - looks like  "Play Game" is None - Im assuming  thats why i cant play ...  


Is there a typical standard mapping of how these buttons should be mapped? 

Select
Back
Play Game

Any template i can use? 

Or is it really just personal preference?

Where are the keyboard mappings in LB?
