Hi everyone, im keen to give android launch box a go, I use launch box for Atari, nes, snes, master sys, genesis, n64, gamecube. id like to know what devices people recommend for those systems. Gamecube isn’t super important, good looking n64 would be the preference. has anyone used the Amazon fire 10 for launchbox and emulation? What else is recommended? For those systems up to n64 at 2x (or more) the native resolution and out of interest what is the recommendation for gamecube at 2x native res thanks!

Haha great. Confusion sorted: I did exactly what you said not to which makes sense now. I had 2.0 for a moment, the updated It to 1.2 which brought all the banners with it. Thanks heaps!

I’m a little confused correct me here: bannerbox 1.2 used custom images that could be created or modded in theme creator, one solid image with the box art and the clear logo on it bannerbox 2.0 doesn’t need the custom images, it pulls the boxart and the clear logo from the images folder and places them in preset spot? is there an option that needs to be selected to do either the custom images vs the non custom images in 2.0? or have I read things way wrong? additional: it appears that when I updated 2.0, it downloaded gigs of custom images, more confused now. cheers. Chris.

Terrific this is the advice I was looking for thank you.

Hey there, I have always used .zip roms for genesis/master system/nes/snes and I have now unzipped them as this is best practice for stability apparently. Is there a way I can bulk update the rom filenames from .zip to .md/.nes or whatever is needed for the system in question in launchbox so I don’t have to delete all roms and re import them and download the artwork? cheers! chris

@faeran yes please I’d love a look at it for one, not sure how much I’d be able to do with it but I’d have a tinker to make it suit that little bit better

I wanted to throw a few more relevant (to me) characters on some banners. i really wanted no game titles on the platform banners but i also wanted a colourful banjo to represent the n64 and all i could find was the box art, nothing with the text removed. I've changed all the backgrounds to black which i think made a few things really pop. works fine for the banner style platforms as seen below because theres a border around all the colour. not so good in the 3rd picture down as theres nothing to give it a border on that view. i use the game details view in image number 4 as its easier to scroll, doesnt need a border there although i think i may ask on the theme forum itself how i can change the black background on the game banner page to white so it has the border effect if i wanted to switch to that view in future. i edited the pause screen logo to reflect my changes also. I love this theme, i'm in no way an expert, just tinkering to suit what i think looks alright. Cheers @faeran, brilliant.

I used to be able to exit both retroarch and standalone emulators by holding the back button and pressing start on an Xbox 360 or Xbox one controller. It stopped working recently, I have no idea why. Can anyone help me diagnose and check settings to see if anything has changed? ive tested on 2 computers, neither work. Cheers. Chris.

Holy moly I didn’t realise all the game banners were custom made. I thought they were being pulled from the downloaded images for each game. Huge effort. Thanks very much.

Hi There Excellent looking theme that is running smoother on my weak laptop than any other theme I’ve used, thanks for that! I’m having the same issue on some games as seen in these images. I’ve refreshed all images. Cheers. Chris.

Ah I misread that before. Tired baby looking after brain. Thks for reiterating do I got it the second time haha

Rly strange. It was working fine for some platforms and removing them from others. For now I’ve stopped using favorites. Might look at it again later. Thk u

I favorited some games which successfully put them into the platform wheel Favorites playlist I set up. They no longer display in their own platforms on big box, is that normal? I would like the games to remain in their platforms and additionally be in the favorites playlist Thk u

Great thks for that. I mistakenly thought a big box restart would clear any cache. Will refresh manually from now on. Thk u

Solved! Inside big box i had to refresh the wheel images. Easy as that.

Hi There I've added a Mario Collection to the platform list on lb/bb. I can't work out how to get the clear logo on the wheel for these playlists that have been added to the platform list. I've tried putting it in heaps of places but no luck. Any ideas? Images below show the playlist name in the wheel, lb playlist edit area with the clear logo selected, and where i tried to add the clear logo named "Mario Collection" in the file window. Thanks! I tried searching for the answer, probably did'nt use the right words. Loving lb and bb, appreciate it!
