So if you want to do a comparison gameplay of ports between nunerous platforms? Usual usage of a games launcher... This cannot be done using the Launchbox search. And yet search should aim for the more specific rather than more indefinite and in the most flexible way possible (most apps have both Search and Advanced Search - like this forum's engine...).

I am resurecting the thread. I think Launchbox really lacks a proper advanced Search Dont get me wrong. I love Launchbox and I am a paying customer but I hope some shortcomings to be addressed. Open your Launchbox, select the ALL platform category and search for Sonic. It will fetch you hundreds of entries, most of them utterly silly (e.g all the 3DO Panasonic games!!!!!) So in order to limit it would need Publisher, Dates, Game Title only or not, be part of a Series or not, platforms involved etc Also, I cannot understand why the ticked was set to Resolved Thank you and keep up the good work!

Appreciated

I will be indeed interested

Ι am using RetroArch core which is based on VICE. Unfortunately VICE has poor emulation quality (eg the wonderful AlphaRay does not work properly) regarding Plus4 (YAPE is the only way but I am trying to stick to RetroArch cores as much as I can) I was very unimpressed by the quantity of the artwork for the system. I download a selection of good games (old and new) . LaunchboxDB and EmuMovies fetched too little content... Is there any online Plus4 database with a covers for batch download?

Thank you for your reply. Oddly, it does not work for me Strange

Any chance to come up with an exit script? Control + Q that exits Phoenix is hard to remember The $Esc:: { Process, Close, PhoenixEmuProject.exe } seems not to work Thanx

Excelent guide!

I respect the poll verdict and your decisions (all correct so far) but on my mind Android and retro-gaming do not get along nicely. I can only use Android for Game & Watch emulation. I cannot bare it for anything else. Launchbox is an extensive launcher, with many details (due to your hard work) that I think that they will be wasted on mobile phones. I know I sound like an old strange guy but even RetroArch, in my eyes, got slowed down once it expanded on Android and Switch extensively (in the past they were forks like PSP RetroArch etc but it were just forks) Anyway, I trust your work and Launchbox is one of the few apps I happily spend money on.

Screenshots. Lots of homebrew games (esp in 8bit micros) that will never be hosted in any media library...except...an easy way to grab a screenhot that Launchbox and its database can process

For Pinball my humble opinion is that only VPX is worth. Download the VPX tables you want + the roms Use PBXRecorder to create the artwork (pics,videos etc) from your own tables (because the online artwork is rubbish) Up until now I am using PinballX (and I will try PinballY) as a frontend. I do use Launchbox as well but the latter lacks the rotate functionality and I need to rotate the monitor to select the table and then rotate again to play.

Hi, are you going to publish anything about the Pause screen?

Sorry, is there a chance that a mini guide for Pause screen could be published along with the official build? Frankly I am a bit lost? Thank you

How can I exit Beebem (in the emulator it is Alt+F and then X) Thank you

Hi, is there a functionality in which I could select a platform (lets say Commodore 64) and ask Launchbox to re-scrap the images using LaunchBoxDB and my Emumovies account so that it can replace missing artwork? Thank you

Absolutely correct! Thanx a million man

Thank you Neil I did add a second one called RetroArchGL and did all the configuration needed BUT... when I doubleclick eg a Dreamcast game it does nothing but when I right-click and select the only selection (shown in screenshot) which is retroarchGL...it works fine.. Why?

Hi all, I need to have my Launchbox control two RetroArch installations. I have my RetroArch set to Vulkan but there are some cores that use only OpenGL (eg Muppen, Reicast etc) Overide video driver does not work correctly inside RetroArch. I want to somehow add a second RetroArch (a new folder or new executable) in Launchbox Emulators section (I could call it Retroarch GL or retroarchGL.exe respectively) and use the cores of this RetroArch for the OpenGL cores. Is that possible? Thank you

With the implementation of Current Game running, I hope some dev can step in and create a plugin that can grab realtime screenshots and associate with one of Launchbox image Types inside the correct Platform. Building media would be so much easier...

I think it is a relatively easy task...and quite useful. It will help enrich the media libraries...Maybe Jason can think about it. As for the scrapping...putting year in 30 years of homebrew games manually is a no-go

Hi and happy 2019! Two questions please: Is there a way to create gameplay screenshots automatically (eg pressing a button and Launchbox to create a gameplay screenshot and do the database assosoation) using LaunchBox-RetroArch? I am trying to import ZX Spectrum Homebrews which obviously do not exist in and scrapping engine. The filename convention I have is either: filename (Year) [for games compatible with all Spectrum models] filename (128) (Year) [for games compatible with Spectrum 128l models] How can Launchbox set the 128 to the Version column and the Year (eg 2018) to the Release Date column? Thanx

Maybe it is not relevant to the build but isnt it a bit excessive that LaunchBox takes up 1GB+ of RAM?

Dear LordMonkus, I did your suggested modification in the existing xml and while it worked nicely, somehow it got reverted back. You mentioned custom themes but I could not find any tutorial on how to create custom themes for LB (I found a lot about BB) Is there a way to have this mod permanent or some tutorial to create a custom theme with just this modification? Thanx

Hi, Is there a chance that Sidebar has the screenshots more upwards because in a 1080p screen, you need to scroll in order to see them? In cases I do not want to use the BigBox, it is handy to be able to see a gameplay screenshot when clicking on a game. Thanx

False alarm. It was my CC provider fault
