Wow Bigbox opens and closes almost instantly!!! This update is very nice overall.

Could have been v15 😂, looking forward to updating!!

I just use retroarch for all the gun games I can for my sinden gun as gun and controller configs are separate there, and since I use megabezels, I can just make content directory overrides that display their integrated sinden border and content directory remaps since I have gun games in subfolders within platform folders. For the rest like pcsx2, model 2 and 3, as well as dolphin I use a another emulator only for gun games as I find it easier to manage the specific config and can have reshade display a border automatically as well for them. In Bigbox you can't remap keyboard and mouse iirc so I adapted the sinden mappings in the sinden software directory to be able to navigate Bigbox with the gun. So yes you can easily merge builds, just need to point the games in LaunchBox to use the correct emulator.

I'm not sure if I am going crazy or there's really something broken but I've been spending time trying to get perfect startup/closing transitions with the new feature that better monitors the game window, so I've tweaked along with that checkbox the extra time added to the startup and closing times for all my emulators, however it looks like those values are often reset to their default values after a while, but the behaviour is not consistent either. Anyone else noticed that?

Not the answer you're looking for but I have made a complete overhaul of the colorful 4k theme, created a colorful 4k startup and pause theme as well with chatgpt and it has been able to do things exactly how I wanted it to, it took a bit of getting used to but once I got the hang of it and it also learned what I want, It was a pretty sweet experience.

I've created my own startup theme with some animations and I'd like my entire collection of games to open cleanly after exactly 5 seconds. I've determined already that all my emulators can easily open games in less than 5 seconds. With all the new options available since recent updates I am getting even more confused than before as to what to enable or what times to set per emulator. Is there an easy 1 fits all setting(s) that would just allow me to do that? (Seems like full screen emulators don't allow for customisation, at least that I am aware of) If not are there any best practices?

I fixed the stuff not showing up, I had a lot of enabled options in bigbox settings that would prevent it. However I don't get why some badges don't show up consitently. As an example, some light gun games have the gun badge showing correctly and many others don't have it appearing in the Bigbox default theme (works in my custom Slipstream theme edited in CTC), even though they have it showing up in Launchbox (Like Duck Hunt for NES for example).

Is it supposed to look this empty? (also is it not supposed to show a ll badges like for example for Duck Hunt, the gun badge?)

Thanks

Anyone else unable to get vita3k to close via pause screen on 14.0.1 and latest version of the emulator as of today? I tried adding both scripts above but no effect.

There were rumours of a V3 a couple of years ago but I guess we won't see this happening soon. I tried to edit the CTC files with the latest version of CTC but basic things like platform device images into videos are broken.

Looks great keep up the great work!

After updating, on my modified slipstream theme, gameplay screenshots don't display, and platform videos have slightly shifted to the left and now are misaligned with my device images (colorful 4k media), both topics in Bigbox.

After installing 13.28 beta 6 (I haven't tested previous versions of the beta), in BB, my game screenshots don't appear anymore.

This sounds very promising!!! I won't be able to test anything as I am without access to my pc for a couple of weeks, but I really hope this makes starting game transitions more seamless (both from emulators and Steam), but most importantly for me, as this has been bugging me for years, finally fix the transition when exiting a game from Pause screen, where for now it goes back to gameplay for a split second before bringing up the shutdown theme, which is very annoying...for me at least
