BigBox controls too sensitive: SOLVED!

[LukeBord1]

I read several posts where many people complained about the same problem, that is, in BigBox the joystick was so sensitive that it skipped two or three steps.
The problem was always associated with external programs that ran in the background, such as Steam or JoyToKey, even when there was no profile directly associated with BigBox...

I propose a solution that, at least in my case, has definitively solved the issue (note - I got a cab with double Xinmotek controls and JoyToKey running in background, associated to mame.exe and daphne.exe) :

- open the "InputBindings.xml" file placed in the "LaunchBox/Data" path;

- in the BigBox sections relating to movements there're two entries: "ControllerHoldBinding" and "ControllerBinding";

- both must have the same value, so the result will be like this:

<InputBinding>
   <InputAction>BigBoxNavigateLeft</InputAction>
   <ControllerHoldBinding>LeftStickLeft</ControllerHoldBinding>
   <ControllerBinding>LeftStickLeft</ControllerBinding>
</InputBinding>
<InputBinding>
   <InputAction>BigBoxNavigateRight</InputAction>
   <ControllerHoldBinding>LeftStickRight</ControllerHoldBinding>
   <ControllerBinding>LeftStickRight</ControllerBinding>
</InputBinding>
<InputBinding>
   <InputAction>BigBoxNavigateUp</InputAction>
   <ControllerHoldBinding>LeftStickUp</ControllerHoldBinding>
   <ControllerBinding>LeftStickUp</ControllerBinding>
</InputBinding>
<InputBinding>
   <InputAction>BigBoxNavigateDown</InputAction>
   <ControllerHoldBinding>LeftStickDown</ControllerHoldBinding>
   <ControllerBinding>LeftStickDown</ControllerBinding>
</InputBinding>

It's done! I hope this helps.

Left stick didn't work but did the same thing with the Dpad entries and stopped mine skipping 👍

Right, the "Leftstick" was just an example for my specific setup (as I said I got a couple of Xinmotex controls on the cab).
I'm glad I could help 😉
