  1. Noted. Missed that E in the logo. Edited the files and re-uploaded them, also added a thicker stroke around some objects. I am enjoying the process! End goal is to have videos for at least all of my platforms in the future.
  2. Hey all! I've never uploaded any files on here and don't want to post anything in the wrong place, or honestly just waste anyone's time. I'm just getting my arcade off the ground and I have a 43" ultrawide marquee (Sceptre brand 43.8", highly recommend it for the price if you have a large arcade), so I've created a few video marquees that are 2880x1080 pixels. I plan to create a lot more as I go along. I've tried to create them so that they loop around on themselves, but I don't know what the optimal length of each video should be? Some are one minute in length, some are shorter. I've uploaded to YouTube so people can see and gauge any interest. If the size is too awkward, length is too long, etc. I can try to adjust the videos to fit some kind of agreed-upon community guidelines if there are any. Here's what I've created so far: Namco System 357: Nintendo Entertainment System: PC Games: I don't like calling my Platform Steam/Windows or anything of that sort, and prefer the broader title "PC Games" This isn't a platform, but a playlist, but I'll include it here as well: Contra Collection:
  3. This was a fun project that took far longer than it should have. Kind of hard balancing hobbies now with an 8month old! Built this for a friend after he really liked my 2-player cabinet at home. I said if we are building another one, let’s make it 4-player! This project featured a lot of firsts for me. My first cabinet featured an X-Arcade for the joysticks and had just some ordinary plexiglass covering the monitor, two things I definitely didn’t want to do again. So, I fabricated a box covering the 32” TV inside of it and did some router work on it to make it look halfway decent. Made several mistakes along the way, plenty of things I would change, but overall he was happy with it and so was I. Systems in LaunchBox: arcade, nes, snes, Nintendo 64, gb, gbc, gba, PlayStation, masterdrive, genesis, sega cd, 32x, game gear, and Dreamcast. All console and handheld games controlled with Xbox controllers attached to the sides, all arcade games controlled with arcade panel.
  4. You are a king, sir, and I'm an idiot. God only knows how I kept searching out all of this information and didn't find out that my version of the emulator wasn't the latest. Yeesh. Sorry, again, for my stupidity, hopefully somehow I'll find a way to actually contribute to this awesome community! And you are not wrong, man. Not at all. This is just my first go-around with Launchbox and even Retroarch (outside of making a few Raspberry Pi builds in the past), so I'm learning as I go. I spent waaaayyyy too much time configuring mame in Retroarch before deciding on this control panel + joypad configuration. Beginning with a 0.78 romset, finding there were games that I wanted that weren't working when that romset was created, then bastardizing my collection with various roms and toying with different cores until everything just seemed to work. It's an unfortunate house of cards type of configuration that I'm afraid to mess with any further out of fear I'll destroy the whole thing, lol. It's a Frankenmame collection, but it seems to work and I'll keep knocking on wood. When I find a good source and can get a nice, uniform, and updated Mame collection going, I'll probably mess with it again.
  5. I'm curious which version you tried, because at this point I'll go for it. I'm desperate for a "start in fullscreen" checkbox at this point, haha! I have VisualBoyAdvance-M v 2.0.0, and under Options > Video there is only a "Select fullscreen mode..." option here and it does not allow you to auto-start in fullscreen, nor open games in fullscreen. The options refer to color depth, device, resolution, and refresh rate. At this point, I'm willing to lose pause menu options in favor of simply an emulator that remains fullscreen with few issues. I found KIGB works well for all GB systems except the Gameboy Advance. So, worst case scenario, I may scrap GBA from this setup until some point in the future. I tried the AHK, but unfortunately received this error: "Error at line 2. Line Text: T >> ESC = Error: Invalid hotkey. The program will exit." Thinking on it now though, I'm unsure a AHK will solve my problem completely as I'm hoping to have this system without a mouse or keyboard and solely controlled by the joysticks and joypads in the future. I've also tried the original VisualBoyAdvance v 1.8.0-beta 3. I gave VisualBoyAdvance Link v. 1.8.0 a shot as well, but unable to find an option that helps. Also tried BatGBA 2.24b, but found no permanent fullscreen option. Thank you so much for the reply and consideration!
  6. Hello all, just looking to see if anyone has an answer to a problem I've had. I'm new to Launchbox and trying to put something together for a friend. The long story is that I began my Launchbox adventure attempting to build a system simply with Retroarch, but when I decided I wanted arcade games to play with an arcade control panel but have console and handheld games control with joypads, I found it difficult (if not impossible) to configure it in a way that would see various cores use various controllers in the Player 1 position. So, instead I split things up into various emulators instead. For simplicity on the user, I've decided to only use emulators that have been found to work with Launchbox's pause menu (using the main Googledoc as a reference: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wuGiwg8I5QqulDncQvGBZP83BVDSXpbSOzdYqDrsCxI/edit#gid=1650496698). So, for Gameboy and various nintendo handhelds, VisualBoyAdvance-M is the recommended emulator, but unfortunately I am having great difficulty finding a way to make this program open in fullscreen and stay that way. I've tried exiting a game in fullscreen with alt+f4, and although this causes the next game to open in fullscreen - once you escape from a game in Launchbox, you're back to a small window. I've tried using -f-4, and even grasping at straws and using -fullscreen and such within command line parameters, but this simply gives me an error. Would autohotkey provide any potential results? Is there a resource that I could learn more about this? Also, I hope this is the right section to be asking! Thanks for anyone's time or recommendations.
