For me it has improved over the updates! It was so bad I couldn’t even use it in my cab but now I have it in place of Hyperspin. It still could be faster as sometime the wheels won’t load for a split second in Bigbox but still way better than before. So for me I agree could still be faster but good enough now that I left my other front end. Could it be your pc? I think there’s a thread on here about getting the best performance from Launchbox. Good luck!

This worked great for Spotify!! With YouTube Music it doesn't work and I think its because when exiting there's a pop up that shows up that you have to click on to leave. Also I have to use Chrome.exe as my additional app then run Youtube music in the command line as the profile. Everything works great otherwise!! Also to exit YouTube Music fullscreen you have to hit escape so that could be interfering as well.

Thanks for this!! I will work on this tomorrow but with your detailed explanation hopefully I should be good!

Just want to say thanks to C Beats and Joeviking! With your help I was able to get everything set up. Spotify and YouTube music need alt+f4 to close nicely. Is there a way to link the 2 exe’s to send alt+f4 as escape key? I see you can on the emulator section but don’t see the option for the games themselves. Super happy though with this!

Ok thanks again. And for me I haven’t done anything for clear logos for games so sounds like the easy way is update and replace game clear logos every so often. Thanks for the help!

Thanks Sundogak!! Great explanation! It would be nice if there were options under the update media, like update wheels or update carts… I just see a lot of wheels getting remade and they say added to Launchbox database when done. So to get these new improved wheels I have to update all media sounds like?

I just found a setting that requires you to hold the back button to have the details screen show. This is great as it will stop kids from accidently messing with that screen as now its kind of hidden. As a long time Hyperspin user the more I'm playing around with launchbox/Bigbox I'm really liking it. Before it was laggy on the wheel but is much better now and defiantly easier to set up. Launchbox team has really made a great front end and I'm just getting into it so who knows what else there is that I haven't come across yet!!

Thanks C-Beats. I'm really confused as you can see in the pictures I have a music platform and the hide in bigbox isn't checked?

You are right if I do platform category I do see it. Just curious why I can’t see it in just platform view? I have the root box checked so it’s in my root platform and shows in Launchbox just not Bigbox. I’m surprised there isn’t a jukebox or music platform already. Sometimes when people are over I just have the music playing.

Yes I have it set to platforms but it’s still not showing up but I’m Launchbox it does show under platform category

Every time I start Bigbox it starts on 3DO but I’d like it to start on Mame. I know you can save on exit a specific platform but can you make it start on a specific platform everytime it boots up?

Thanks for the help guys! I’m making progress. First I will start with my music program and get the running. I have a platform called music with the exe listed as a game. I can launch it in Launchbox however in Bigbox my platform wheel isn’t showing up at all on the main wheel?

There’s no way launch an .exe from under a platform? I’m really wanted a Music wheel then when I click on the music wheel I’d like to launch an exe.

I just updated yesterday and just installed Daphne for the first time and everything works great on my end. I did have to check hide emulator because I kept seeing a command line but after that no problems. I'm still learning Launchbox so cant give you much help but can confirm it works with the update.

Ok that makes sense. I just did what you said and works great! Still trying to get the hyperspin stuff out of my head lol

Are you using a cab? I'm using a cab and disabled the game details screen so it launches the game right away. I'm just trying to make it feel like an arcade cab and eliminate some of the clicks even though there are nice features!

Please forgive me for the all questions as I’m moving over from Hyperspin. On my hyperspin wheel I made a music wheel and I’m that wheel I made sub wheels of an app called Album player and then 2 other wheels of YouTube music and Spotify. I can make a music platform but how to I get just an exe to show when I click on the music wheel? Then is it possible to launch YouTube music and Spotify under that platform?

Wow that’s surprising. Seems like if you keep hitting escape to exit a game Bigbox should ask if you want to exit before it closes? I guess I could make another button to escape Bigbox but then I’d have a button to exit the emulator and another one to exit bigbox. I can see kids button smashing and closing it out. The confirm exit would eliminate that.

Is there a way to enable a confirm exit screen like in hyperspin? I seem to hit escape a lot getting used to Bigbox and I end up closing it. I’d like to have an exit screen that basically says exit? Yes it No

I see under the media section forums that new media is created like wheels to replace ones that are lower quality. What’s the best way to update my media so the new images will replace my old media?

This is the only thing that has worked for me to avoid the error. Thanks!

Thanks!!! That’s what I was looking for. I have Hyperspin set up but am slowly transitioning to Launchbox and didn’t want to have to delete or rename games and mess up my Hyperspin set up.

I should’ve mentioned I am using retroarch. So there’s no way to make the (USA) roms the default roms to load? If that’s the case it would probably be easier to just remove the (Europe) and other roms like that from my romset so there’s only the (USA) set? Thanks for the help!

Hi, I’m sure there is an easy way to fix this but I have different versions of the same game which is causing the bezels to not show up since one version isn’t named correctly. For example NES has Super Mario World which shows a bezel but it plays Europe version automatically and no bezel is shown. Is there a preference or anything I can do so big box and Launchbox selects the game with a bezel every time ?

Just curious if a clear logo set for the famicom games has ever been done?
