Hello is this supposed to be added to the XEMU emulator running script? Can someone share their script please?

Hey thanks for your reply. They all support it, the RPCS3 implementation looks very janky for now so I'll just not pursue it, not sure why model 2 and 3 crash when loading state, the save state file is created though. Quick question somehow related as it is about the Pause screen, is there a way not to display the achievements option when using an emulator that doesn't support them?

I was trying to make those work with the Pause screen and I am positive I have set the right script and it works fine on all other emulator that support it (Retroarch, Dolphin, PCSX2, PPSSPP etc..), even when using the emulators without Launchbox, each time I try to use those features they crash the emulator, anyone able to make it work? I have an 17 13700k and an RTX3070ti if that matters.

Hi yep putting the platform name manually actually works thanks. Regarding your question as to why create a PC Ports platform, it's because I like to have things separated as old console games ported feel like they should belong to their own section (to me at least) just like Windows 3.1 has its own for example, and I don't like the fact that they would show up both in Windows and in a playlist if I went the playlist route instead. I mainly use platforms in BigBox and not really playlists except for Collections.

Man that would be a tough decision. I would go with Star Ocean 2 on PSX: 1 of my all time favourites, the music is incredible for a start, just classic Enix. The combat was incredibly good , fast-paced, aggressive and real-time, but also required strategic planning. It is the perfect universe (quite literally) to get lost in on a deserted island with plenty of time on your hands and time you will need to beat the game 100%, as you will need to play it several times to enjoy the full cast of characters and unlock all the personal events, go through the end game optional dungeon, reach level 255 etc... The crafting system, the skills, the arts, everything is so deep and interesting. Just thinking about it now just reminds me of of that first encounter between Claude and Rena in that village on Expel 25 years ago, the eerie music, little did I know of the incredible adventure I was embarking on.

Just created a PC Ports platform under Computers and trying to add a game to it manually however it doesn't show up in the platforms list, also not when using the importer. Anything I am missing here?

Ok I don't have experience in those 😐

Not sure if this is megabezel or something else but if it is play with the non-integer scale, high Res scanlines, scan line direction multiplier settings in the shader parameters in retroarch

You will need to adjust the resolution of the emulator, or the size of the screen area (scale) or scan line Resolution.

I run at 4k, maybe 1080p is fast.

Emulation wise you'll be good, maybe will need a bit of tweaking in PS3· or Switch games if upscaling to 4k. Regarding Bigbox navigation, I have a more powerful computer (RTX 3070 ti, i7 13700k, 64gb RAM and everything stored on NVME gen 4 drives), but navigation in Bigbox is still rather choppy even on default theme, there's been improvements recently but still needs a bit more optimisation I think. I tested other front-ends like ES-DE or Retrobat which do run buttersmooth, however their features are not as advance as LB/BB.

Looking for a pc ports (decompiled recompiled games) PNG and video 😎

Dualsense since I can emulate Xbox style with rewasd and use a lot of of shortcuts, track pad etc. Use it as native automatically when needing gyro, PS glyphs, haptics etc... Just wish there was a way to wake the PC up with it but Bluetooth doesn't allow that on pc. Hope someday Sony will release official drivers for Windows and also a usb receiver with high polling rate and support to wake on USB. It would then be the default ultimate all in 1 solution for everything without limitations or workarounds involved.

Oh ok thanks @C-Beats, that's a shame though, I hope someday a working way to do this will be added back as it's something missing for my use case (basically only using Bigbox for everything and never having to use anything else for my dedicated gaming OS).

Within the game details view, I am looking to automatically say "install" instead of "play" when a game is not installed. And to have an extra "Uninstall" option when a game is installed. Launchbox has those options but not Bigbox? Even the default theme doesn't have those options as far as I can tell. Am I missing something obvious here?

Ok 🙏 I'll wait for a CTC update as I have no idea how to do that.

I modified my own with CTC but looks like there's no options to use the new fields for badges yet. Completed and unplayed can still be selected and show up within the CTC but not once published in Bigbox, other badges work fine.

How can I display the completed and unplayed badges in Bigbox?

Looks like it's already there but thanks anyways.

@JoeViking245 hey I did a bit of experimenting. So strangely enough it seems that both settings time values actually add up when using both which I don't think is supposed to happen. However setting minimum start-up screen time to 0 and only using emulators startup delay time works well, but not on all emulators, for example the model 2 emulator doesn't respect the value selected and opens after less than a second making the loading screen almost useless. I also noticed for Dolphin as an example that using both settings together allows for a cleaner startup as it hides the quick Dolphin windows that flashes when starting a game. When not using minimum startup time it flashes on top of the startup screen.

Thanks 🙏

@JoeViking245 while I have you here Do you have a quick explanation on how the emulator start-up delay and start-up screen minimum time work together?

Makes sense, thanks for the feedback.

Thanks, I actually tested but it's not easy to implement as each game will be very different so I bulk disabled the start-up theme (and pause theme) for all Steam games, a bit cumbersome to remember to do it each time you add a new game though, hopefully we can get the same options soon as we have for emulators. But most useful would be simply to have start-up option that allows you to select a minimum displayed value and then launchbox auto-detects when a game has started and switches to it if more time is needed.

So that might be a bit of an easy one I guess, so I have my start-up screen (Slipstream) to be on for 3.5 seconds which is the time the loading bar takes to fill and is a great value for all emulators I have. For Steam games however, often this is not enough and screen goes back to launchbox or Bigbox until the game starts. Is there a way to set a maximum time value, detect when the game has launched and switch automatically?
