[FYI: There's a new Atari Jaguar emulator out there]

I'll have a look. Thanks for the update.

[FYI: There's a new Atari Jaguar emulator out there]

Ok what I did was set video resolution to borderless window and display size to my monitor size. After that it worked.  Initially I had changed it to fullscreen.  I didn't have to change anything in my cmd line.  Thanks I hope this helps ppl.

Any update on a command line to launch the game directly from launchbox.  All it does is launch the emulator to its gui screen and then asks to load cartridge. Anyone can help getting the game to load directly by passing the gui.  Thanks

[Big box menu down input error]

Try using the backup state when it was last working.  I've had to do it a few times. 

[How can I set keys to navigate if I am using a control panel?]

Glad you figured it. 

[Best place to 'keep' games and emulators?]

I have everything on my internal drive. It is dedicated for my arcade so I'm fine keeping it there. Definitely go the external drive route if you want to keep your laptop clean. Just put launchbox on the externally and do it all from there. The only downside would be the time it takes to launch a game. It could be faster if it was on the internal drive. 

[How can I set keys to navigate if I am using a control panel?]

What's legends game pro? Have you tried assigning trackball direction in controller section of bigbox. You can set up joystick movement. Maybe trackball too.

You can create an AutoHotkey script and then set it as an Additional App for the game.  The script will look something like:

Sleep, 10000
Send {Enter}

..where "10000" = 10 seconds.  You can increase or decrease this amount of 'delay' time before it 'presses Enter', depending on how long it takes for the game to load.

See here on how to add the script as an Additional App. 

 

Thanks Joe this script worked for me. 

[Do I need a AHK for this.]

I'm launching a game with LB/BB that requires you to hit the entre key or mouse click after the game initially launches to load the game. How can I allow this without Physically going to the mouse or keyboard.  Can some script make this happen. Thanks

[Creating Your Own Video Snaps?]

To make that video you are showing will need a editing video program. Techniques like masking and creating sprites are involved.  Good stuff going on. You tube will get you there. For simple game play videos you just need a screen capture program. 

[Joy to key]

I have several profiles made for different games in joytokey. When I launch a game I have launchbox launch joy to key first and then the game. Sometimes the controls work sometimes not. What I'm noticing is the proper profile for selected game is not selected in joytokey. If I manually select it controls work. Does joytokey not auto select the correct profile when you launch a games. I have assigned the proper profiles with associated game and path in joytokey but it just doesn't work.  Anyone one have any ideas to have joy work with the right profile. It would be a waste to have to select it manually everytime I want to play a game.  Thanks

[Should I get a spinner, and where the heck can I put it?]

Yes you'll want a spinner. I finally installed one and it is a joy to have and play games properly that originally used one.  I'd put it above your player 1 buttons.  

[Multiple (same title) in game wheel]

Well I realized why I had multiples of the same game. The game wheel is capable of showing 9 games. I only had 3 so to fill the wheel I guess it added doubles to fill it.  When I added more games it removed the multiple games. 

[Multiple (same title) in game wheel]

In bigbox I have daphne platform. When I go to game wheel there are multiple titles of the same game. How do I delete the unwanted titles.  Thanks

[Alternate standalone sega emulator]

Ya it won't load zip files. If I unzip then it will load .gen file. 

[Alternate standalone sega emulator]

I'm trying this but my sega files are zipped and mednafen doesn't open zip files.  Is there a work around.  Thanks

[Alternate standalone sega emulator]

I've been using kega to emulate sega games.  I'm now using bigbox and after launching kega in fullscreen there is no way to back out to games menu.  What's the next best standalone sega emulator that works good with bigbox. I don't want to bother with retroarch. Thanks for any advice. 

[Mapping arcade controls in launchbox]

Stormy that sounds about right.  No front end controls on an arcade with joysticks and buttons without big box.  I have zero delay encoders so I think those are good for launchbox.

So...just to be clear...for someone that has a MAME-based arcade cabinet, and uses joysticks, buttons, and a trackball (plus a few other admin buttons) to control all entry into starting up and playing games, you'll need to purchase Big Box to map out controls to keyboard equivalents?

 

[Mapping arcade controls in launchbox]

Thanks.  I don't have big box yet.  I guess there is no trial version? 

[Mapping arcade controls in launchbox]

That's what I need to know. I want to be able to scroll platforms and then game wheels to select games.  I want to do this with arcade controls. Has anyone done this?

[Mapping arcade controls in launchbox]

Hi is it possible to map my arcade controls in launchbox.  I tried and can't assign any buttons or joystick movement.  Is this only possible in premium big box? Thanks

[Odyssey2 games not loading MAME]

Scroll lock key did it.  Thanks

[Odyssey2 games not loading MAME]

Well once a game launches no way to exit back to menu.  Tab key to config controls doesnt work. Strange. 

[Odyssey2 games not loading MAME]

Thanks Joe.  When I added the i8244.zip and videopac.zip the games were able to launch.  No other set up in launch box was needed.  Oddly there are no functions for mame to configure anything. 

[Odyssey2 games not loading MAME]

Hi guys, I'm trying to use mame to load odyssey2 games.
Emulator is set as MESS
Assosiated platforms: magnavox odyssey2
Default command: odyssey2 -cart
I have odyssey2.zip in mame rom folder.
Odyssey2 games are .bin
After importing Roms when I launch a game it trys to load and then a black screen then back to launchbox menu.  Is there something I'm missing.  Can someone help me out.  Thanks.
