DirectInput to XInput wrapper

Recommended Posts

Many people among us use Launchbox in an Arcade cabinet, and since we use Windows we have an endless library of games suitable for the Arcade Joystick and buttons.
However, we begin to encounter the first difficulties when we find ourselves having to configure the joystick with software to convert the commands from the encoder to those which are the commands of an official gamepad recognized by the system.
Mainly we used X360 CE and up to a certain point it worked well, but too many new games especially written in UNITY are not compatible with X360ce.
We have other XInput wrappers using the keyboard as joytokey but often we can't configure the second player.
There remain other less well-known XInput wrappers such as XOutput, but they do not seem simple to configure lacking the possibility to select the corresponding buttons as with X360CE.
Have you found a permanent solution?

I've tried a thousand ways, but the only solution to play cuphead perfectly is to add it to STEAM, and configure the generic controller from the Steam settings.
It would be interesting to have this same possibility on Launchbox
