Improved Controller Profiles and Auto-Switching Between Systems

[Skyler Baggins]

Hi team,

First of all, thanks again for everything you’ve built with LaunchBox/BigBox — it has become my go-to frontend for organizing and enjoying retro and modern games.

One feature I’d really like to suggest (and hear thoughts from the community about) is enhanced controller profile management with automatic switching between systems or platforms.

For example, when I play different systems (NES, PlayStation, or PC games), I often have to manually adjust controller mappings, which can get messy if I switch frequently. Ideally, LaunchBox could:

Save controller profiles per platform (or even per game).

Auto-detect and load the correct profile when launching a game.

Offer easy import/export of profiles for sharing across setups.

This would make the experience smoother, especially for people who use multiple types of controllers (Xbox, DualShock, Switch Pro, etc.).

Has anyone in the community found a good workflow or workaround for this? And the dev team, would such a feature be possible to consider in future updates?

Thanks a lot — looking forward to hearing everyone’s input!
