Thanks!!!!!!

Hi folks is there a set of platform categories logos where all of them look similar please? I am looking for these: - Consoles - Arcade - Handhelds - Computers - Favourites - Collections - Light Gun Games - Pinball - Tools (to put utilities like reWASD, Nvidia app, MSI Afterburner etc) If that's not a thing yet, I am also open to a matching set of regular clear logos.

Somehow sometime it works, however when using the pause screen to quit a game it then blocks again. Probably has to do with 2 apps using exclusive full screen at the same time or something like that.

Is it actually possible? It gets stuck behind it I think, or just crashes, it's impossible to quit it from Steam's menu, it will remain as running, even when launching another Steam game on top, it remains as open in the Steam overlay menu, again closing it from there does nothing.

NVidia app is pretty useful the with newer auto HDR options and DLSS overrides. For MSI AB, I overclock/undervolt my gpu which is quite good as it lower the temps a lot, and I like to bring up the RTSS overlay when trying to tweaks grahic setting in PC games (I also have a reWASD hotkey to do that).

Yep I have auto hide on, I'll try to add -silent to all my startup apps (Steam, reWASD, NVidia app, Sinden software and MSI Afterburner with RivaTuner)

Thanks ! I'll give it a shot. I think I'll just keep Windows running as shell for now as there's still a few missing features in BigBox to make it a fully console like experience, I created a few feature request recently so hopefully they implemented at some point. I am trying to find a way to have the taskbar hidden on boot, it always shows up for a bit after going hidden...but it seems impossible.

I am struggling a little bit with this one, so I have a few questions and issues that I hope someone can help me with: 1. How do you start other programs without them being launched on top of BigBox on startup (I.e. completely minimised, and also so that alt-tab doesn't display them)? this happens mainly with Steam but it's random. I tried to add -minimized as parameter in the startup apps options but it's not doing anything. 2. Is there a way to still have Windows features (or alternatives) like sound control or bringing up virtual keyboard (I have hotkeys created in reWASD for both doesn't work when BB is set as shell)? 3. Is there any performance benefits running BigBox as shell or any downsides maybe apart from what I described already?

I run only 1 instance of Retroarch, you just need to setup your Gun inputs on port 1 and 2 correctly before anything else, then create content directory remaps for each core where you select the lightgun instead of the console gamepad as input, for that you just need to put your gun games under a subfolder in your platform rom folders (this also allows you to create content directory shaders with megabezel where you can enable the Sinden border on top the amazing CRT shader, removing the need to use the Sinden border shortcut manually): Games/Mega Drive/not a gun game.zip Games /Mega Drive/Light Gun Games/Gun Game.zip For Input setup in Retroarch, this video helped me a lot (the Sinden wiki wasn't making a lot of sense to me in some instances I am afraid), you can also use hotkeys in Retroarch as keyboard keys can be set as secondary hotkeys: For Bigbox you have to use Enter and escape to confirm and go back, so you need to map those keys in the Sinden software, which also means that you need to ensure your gun inputs in each emulator take that into account. I also setup F12 as the hotkey to open the LB/BB Pause screen so that I can actually use it with both controllers and the gun (mapping it also in the Sinden software). For other emulators like PCSX2, Super Model, Model 2, Dolphin etc, I had to create duplicate emulators mainly because of easier controls setup and for putting the Sinden border via Reshade, again eliminating the need to bring it up manually with the gun and freeing up a button on the gun. Good luck, you're in for quite a few hours I am still missing RPCS3 (where setting up gun controls looks absolutely crazy) and OG Xbox which I understand requires the CXBX-Reloaded emulator(Which I haven't yet looked at), but Retroarch has handled all other platforms for me regarding light gun games.

Hi is there a way to automate the launching of games that require those operating systems to be seemless like any other roms on other platforms? I'd like to use DosBox-Pure on Retroarch if possible, but obviously open to recommendations. Thanks.

Nevermind I had somehow modified a date string in the Atari 5200 xml, added .52 in it. Crazy it broke everything

Please heIp, I was fiddling around with some platform xml to change the file extension of all games in Atari 5200 and Sega Mega Drive, somehow I broke something, I guess Launchbox didn't close properly, already did a backup resotre but not helping: String '2022-09-18T17:18:21.a5276023+02:00' was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

If you still have access to your previous storage, just copy and paste the whole folder. I've only used the portable version of RA so I'm not sure what it's like on the installed version.

Emulators are executables and not installed. Just make sure you go to options-> manage emulators -> put the the right path where the exe is stored on your new machine. Also try to start the emulators outside of Launchbox to make sure they work properly on their own if not.
