Configure controls for emulators

Issue #1306 new
Former user created an issue

Those that use Mac OSX would know there's a nice front end called OpenEmu

A feature that I would like to see is cores for certain platforms built into launchbox. This would suitable to use on earlier platforms such as Nes,Snes,Gameboy,Sega etc..... Would make setting up for someone with not much experience in emulation to be easier and quicker to get their games up and running! Maybe add that as an option, so you can either choose an emulator of your choice or a built in core to run your games.

And additionally also featured in OpenEmu is to setup the joysticks and controls for each platform within launcbox.

I know its a big and complicated thing to ask! but i hope that's something to think about and look into in the future.

    Thank you frasto. Distributing emulators (or cores) with LaunchBox does introduce lots of licensing issues and such, which is why we've shyed away from it so far. I would like to tackle controls though eventually, for sure.
