Thanks you guys. I appreciate that! very much

Hello, this is embarrassing. lol. i accidentally cleared my "select" keyboard mapping in big box. so now i cant even go in and remap it because i have no "select" function. lol. yes i feel stupid. I looked at a couple of xml files thinking i could just manually enter the return key again but no luck there. It is a new build and i can just re-install it again but figured i would ask before i went that route thanks for your time.

nevermind. delete thread if you can. Not sure why it wouldnt work on my arcade cabinet pc, but i just tried on another pc and it worked fine. sorry about that

hey how are u. I have a big box license that expired in december 2019 and am trying to upgrade to 'forever updates" license but im unable. Im at this link: https://www.launchbox-app.com/renew Then i browse and select my current license file. it populates with my info. there's a section that says "renew or upgrade"; and a box that says "upgrade now for $30". but nothing happens when i click it. Theres also a box to pay with amazon pay. but i don't have that. In case something is down with the upgrade feature i just wanted to let you know.. and also i wanted to upgrade. :)

nice. definitely getting that. i appreciate it man

wow, great info! im writing that down so not to forget. So, if i made a 2 player bartop build next, I could technically just get 2 ultimarc joysticks and woudlnt need a usb encoder for my build at all (unless i wanted more than 16 buttons - which i dont). that changes a few things

Thanks I appreciate it. I really love it - mistakes and all. lol. and I really love big box themes . makes a world of difference!

thanks tatts4life. I cant even get it out of my basement. it's here permanently. lol its too big.

(replying to DANES Post) lol that is true though Thanks for the comment though. btw i finally got my marquee printed up, but i dont have it back lit yet because i bought white leds from china and its been 20 days and still haven't arrived. but i couldn't beat $4 or whatever it costed. P.S. i called it "big blue" because its a fuckin big blue box. lol. it will look ok with the marquee lit up.

thanks for the details. I think im going to get one on my next order from him. nice looking controller. what did you use inside for the buttons? a usb encoder or ipac? I used an ipac4 for my full size arcade build, but im working on a bartop one and ordered some cheap usb encoders from aliexpress. hoping they work good - little nervous being that they were so inexpensive (but it is china). but i think i got spoiled with the ipac 4 and the shift function.

i'll check and see. i saw a youtube video for space attack for mame. but it doesnt look like its the handheld. but i'll check through mame tomorrow and see if i can find it.

That's a cool feature. Since they can always move in all directions with no resistance, does it feel real loose or anything? not sure im explaining correctly. But I have an old usb controller for the pc. and i tried using it just for fun and i actually didnt like it at all. no resistance so it just felt flimsy. but maybe because it was old.

hey thanks for replying. I actually ended up going with the sanswa jlw joysticks. I like them. Its real easy to change from 8 to 4 player. Aftre using them i understand completely why you would use 4 way instead of 8 way on certain games. in 8 way, you get stuck going up ladders etc (donkey kong, etc). they are pretty clicky though but i still like them :)

looks real nice

thanks, yeah i probably somehow did something with retroarch. i did paste the blue machines and database folders into retroarch again (even though i had them alreayd) and i did check that the bios was there. i messed aroudn with retroarch so much i migt have messed soething up with the blue msx.
