BigBox crashes w/ Controller Automation bug, crashes windows 10 on start+select command, bug is not problem w/ LaunchBox?!?

Issue #2553 new
g00glethis1 created an issue

Love the controller automation feature but the problem I'm having is the "close the active window" command (mapped to hold select & press start; <-(also tried different button, same result)) under BigBox->Options->Use Controller Automation: Not only closes the emulator (yay!) but shuts down BigBox (boo!) & messes up my windows 10 machine (boo!) because BigBox was not shutdown properly which messes up the StartMenu/Taskbar to disappear to the point where I have to restart my computer in order to restore the bar at the bottom of the screen back...

^^^This only happens if I launch games from BigBox , not an issue when I use LaunchBox!!!

Also I purchased LaunchBox Premium before I registered to the forums yet I don't see the connection between my Forum Profile & my premium purchase....

Any advise will be greatly appreciated !!!!!

Info: LaunchBox / BigBox 7.6 Windows 10, Updated Issues stated above happens every time with BigBox

Email me on how to attach log file, etc, if needed.

    Hi googlethis1, thanks for this ticket. First off, there is currently no connection between your license and the forums, so you can just create a new account there. This issue might actually be best discussed on the forums, as it's not one that I've been able to reproduce.

    I assume it's specific to a particular emulator? What emulators have you tried it with? Also, what controller are you using?

    Emulator: PCSX2

    Controller: Xbox One

    What kind of controller do you recommend? Wired/wireless??

    Forgot to mention , I'm unable to find anybody in the pcsx2 forums community to help me with xinput to program pcsx2 for binding a hotkey combination (press & hold select + press start = Alt+f4) to close the emulator and return back to front end=launchbox. Do you have any suggestions of GUI software, command line, etc, to accomplish this command?

    Wish retro arch supported ps2 because I have not had any issues with retro arch ....
