Which software to use for arcade sticK?

[midd]

So I downloaded a steam game as a standalone, Blades of Gory.  The game recommends using a xbox controller.  I want to be able to use with my arcade sticks using my ipac4 controller.  I'm not sure which route to take.  I see XArcade-Xinput, Joy2key, vjoy ( I think that's what its called). I also know I can switch my ipac to xinput mode by holding player 1 start and the third button for 10 seconds.  But is there a way to do that in some type of script and put it back to keyboard mode when I exit the game?

I have tried Xarcade-Xinput.  I am getting a strange error upon launching it.  I have the folder in the utilities folder of my Launchbox folder of my C drive.  But the error is saying D:\a\xarcade-xinput\Xarcade XInput\xarcade-xinput\KeyboardMapper.cs.

Here's the script:

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
#SingleInstance Force
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.


;CUSTOM CONFIG
Run, C:\Launchbox\Utilities\xarcade-xinput\Xarcade Xinput.exe --skip-ui
Run, L:\LaunchBox\Games\Windows\Blades of Gory\nw.exe


$Esc::
   Process,Close,Xarcade Xinput.exe
   Run,taskkill /im "Xarcade Xinput.exe" /F
    Process,Close,nw.exe
   Run,taskkill /im "nw.exe" /F
   ExitApp
return

Here is the json file:
