Hi there,

Thanks for your question!

The controls customized and mapped in Big Box are specifically for navigating the Big Box interface and are not tied to your games.

If the controls aren’t working within your game, you’ll need to customize and set them within the game itself or the emulator that the game uses.

If you can provide more details about the type of game you’re trying to play, we’ll be happy to advise you on the best way to set this up.

Cheers,

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I finally got it working. Just wondering if it will remember controller settings for any games on that specific platform?

Thanks for the update. If the emulator you’re using is RetroArch, please note that the controls configured there are separate from those set in Big Box, so you’ll need to configure them directly in RetroArch.

Depending on your controller, RetroArch is generally quite good at recognizing most common controllers right out of the box. However, if it doesn’t, you can manually configure them using the guide below:

RetroArch Input and Controls Guide

RetroArch’s configured controls will typically apply across all the platforms you use with it. However, it also allows you to make per-platform or per-game controller adjustments if needed.
