I picked up a pair of these, and have some JLFs on the way to go with them. I tried the batch script from the GRS website, and it's working for me. I wasn't able to command individual servos with the batch script, it was all or nothing. Not that big of a deal, as I don't see a need for mixing 8-way and 4-way. It seems simple enough and should be easy to integrate into a front end. I've seen on the Big Box forum where someone is switching to 4-way for 4-way games and back to 8-way on game exit. I think that would cover everything I need them to do. |

The links to the software and command line script are about half way down the product page: https://thunderstickstudio.com/products/tos-grs-4-to-8-way-restrictor-all-in-one-kit tos428cl is the command line version you'd wan to use in a batch file:https://thunderjoystick.com/products/GRS-TOS/tos428cl_setup.zip |

Here's the instructions I found for Launch Box:https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/67776-automatically-switch-between-4-way-and-8-way-joystick-depending-on-loaded-game/ |

Oh ok I see what you mean. Yes there is a plug-in for LaunchBox. I use hyper spin so I created my own script. And it's fairly generic so would work with any emulator I believe. |
