Hello! I was wondering if something even remotely similar to this option available in Batocera is possible within LB/BB? Maybe there's plugins but I couldn't find anything. That would be an amazing addition if not.

Mouse click triggering start-up and game-over screens
Kefka2b replied to Kefka2b's topic in Troubleshooting
Anyone ever found a way to not trigger start-up/game over screens on mouse click when using Retroarch? -

Amazing work thank you! Quick question, if I zoom in with the RA customer video scaling option to get a bigger screen area on my 4k tv, will this reduce the quality of the CRT effects, is it maybe not recommended to do it? -
And get an M2 nvme drive for windows and Launchbox files, you can store games on another sata SSD or use a traditional HDD if you have a huge collection, I just don't use those anymore they're noisy and just feel old school to me.

Decide on a budget you will spend for it, I have an i7 13700k CPU and an rtx3070ti, you probably can get a GPU that is older but if you can get a recent one why not it will allow you to play pc games as well. Don't spend too much on motherboard and RAM I think it's not worth it. 32gigs of DDR4 ram is cheap and plenty. Depending on the case format and CPU wattage you get you will have to decide if you get an air cooler or a water cooler, the i7 13700k is really amazing when it comes to emulating but you can probably get something that runs cooler and just get a smaller air cooler to save a bit and make things easier to build. Also bearing in mind that my pc is plugged in to my 4k TV so I upscale everything to 4k requiring a bit more processor power, everything runs smooth at 60 FPS Wii u switch PS2 and some PS3 xbox360 but mostly those that don't is because the emulator not being advanced enough yet. BigBox is also running super smoothly even with a theme like colorful 4k. PSU I don't know if it's worth spending much for platinum grading etc honestly, just think of all your parts and use a psu wattage calculator to determine how much wattage you need.
-
There are loads of options and brands out there but it really depends on what you are looking for. Esthetics and form factor of the case? Will you upscale to 4k or just 1080p? How much storage will you need? Xbox360 and PS3 gen emulation requires beefy specs. To give you an idea I can't run red dead redemption on Xenia at 4k 60fps yet, with an i7 13700k and an rtx3070ti. All I can suggest honestly is build it yourself, it's fun, much cheaper, done better and you'll find that having full control on what your pc contains is just better
-
Yes also changed to the other default plus theme (or a similar name) because of this, try it out it's like the old default but with very nice animations. The right panel is now too big on a 4k TV compared to the rest and doesn't leave enough space for game boxes for my taste.
-
Hey since you can now boot Bigbox as shell I'd like to dual boot my current installation of windows 11 by cloning it to another partition on the same drive (I spent countless hours tweaking it), so that would allow to select either my OS for normal computing where I would get rid of everything gaming or emulation related, or the other OS with Bigbox as shell only 🆒. Is there a way to do this without having to go through a fresh installation of Windows and reconfigure everything from scratch? Looked over the internet but there doesn't seem to be an easy way...
-
Any idea when this will work again?

Launchbox-RetroPie-Batocera-Miyoo Export
Kefka2b commented on dingodan's file in Third-party Apps and Plugins
Hey guys so this works only for media downloaded from the Launchbox scraper as mentioned above or also for collections added manually (image collections available on the LB forums)? Does this also handle the fact that files are named differently in Batocera? -
Really appreciate your update and all you've done for us. -
Currently noted issues (and of course your work is absolutely amazing): - SNES image and video don't align perfectly - NAOMI 1 & 2 hardware differs between video and image (using the h265 4k version of the videos at least) - missing basic categories like Light Gun games, 2p games etc, it really breaks the uniformity/beauty of the theme - not related to videos/images -> would be nice to select the button layout for the theme (like PS buttons etc. / I think the game wheels views with clear logos are missing something like a big 2d box + Cart/CD on the side, feels a bit empty, tried to use CTC but I am lost.
-
Looks really nice, but it doesn't work for me (using the dark version with logos), whenever I hit "play" on game, Bigbox freezes (remaining on the game view) and I have to close the process, other start-up themes work fine. I am on Launchbox 13.3 (latest as of today), anyone else having the same problem? -
Mouse click triggering start-up and game-over screens
Kefka2b replied to Kefka2b's topic in Troubleshooting
Same thing happening when using a dual sense or ds4 with ds4windows and accidentally touching the touchpad as it emulates the mouse (had to disable the touch pad in ds4windows) -
Hey! I was wondering if it is possible to use predefined filters in Bigbox instead of having to define them from scratch each time (some are a bit harder then others)? When I am on a games list, I'd like to pull up my list of filters like those for example: Light Gun Games Favourites 2p games games with achievements supported etc... I am fully aware you can create playlists but I find them a bit too cumbersome when you start having loads in your build for all your platforms, and as a user of the Colorful 4k theme, I am quite depending on having the corresponding platform images and videos for the theme to look beautiful and unified. Is this actually achievable? or maybe in the works?
-
Stunning thank you, would .love to see a video for a playlist of games supporting achievements!

Hey guys, Quick question when for example playing "Broken Sword" on Retroarch with a PSX core with a mouse (controller type set as PlayStation mouse but also when controller type is usual PS controller playing with a controller, mouse clicks will still do that), the first 2 clicks will bring up the start-up screen and then the game-over screen (both a for a couple of seconds), after that everything works as expected. When launching games from Retroarch directly, it is working seamlessly. Other emulators don't seem to have the same issue. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?
-
Hey guys, not a very annoying thing and can easily be corrected (if you have a backup of your core folder), is this a Retroarch thing only or is it because of updating via Launchbox?
-
Hey guys, I am pretty much done with building my setup and the last step is now to make a bootable version of Bigbox with minimal windows features including all my ROMs/Emulators and all Launchbox files, on a 4tb M2 external drive. I plan to play mainly on 2 devices: - my living room workhorse pc + 4k TV (where I did configure everything to run well at this resolution) - a laptop on the go (less powerful and 1080p monitor). Both have very different hardware and resolution. Is it a pain to switch each time? Do you have to reconfigure options etc on Launchbox and emulators, download correct video drivers to fit the machine you are currently on? Or it's kinda seamless?
-
Thanks a lot actually your screenshot helped me as I wasn't looking for "custom field: name" but directly the name of my custom field in the bulk edit wizard, hence why I hadn't found it previously 😅... All sorted now! Thanks @C-Beats and @JoeViking245 for the guidance!
-
@C-Beats In the end the best I managed to do is to list out all publishers from the auto-generated playlists only reducing my new MAME playlist from about 2000 to 900, as there is no "AND" operation possible, I cannot also remove the games from playlists based on "source" and not publisher like Sega ST-V. I tried to use a custom field but I didn't manage to find a way to apply it in the Bulk edit wizard (as it doesn't appear) it looks like you can only apply a custom field on a per-game basis which makes it impossible to use in my use case, maybe I am wrong and there's an easier way?
-
Ok thanks for the explanation on the "OR" thing. I have a premium licence and it actually makes sense I could just go through each playlist and add the same custom field to all the games so then I can filter them out in the new playlist. I'll check how it's done. Thanks for all the tips!
-
@C-Beats So indeed unchecking MAME does the job, but I went one step ahead and tried to create that new MAME playlist and tried to list out all the publishers from the other playlist like Atari, Nintendo, Capcom etc... to only show the games that are not inside an auto-generated playlist. I don't know if I am doing it wrong or there's a limitation with the "Doesn't contain" option. Basically 1st option is "Platform" "is equal to" "MAME then: "Publisher" "doesn't contain" "Atari" "Publisher" "doesn't contain" "Capcom" etc... But it seems to work only with 1 condition regarding Publisher, adding extra ones negates the effect. I tried to use "Publisher" "has none of the values" "Atari; Capcom; etc" but also doesn't work Edit: To use "has none of the values", I Guess I'll have to get the list of all exact values of all possible publishers for example, Atari, Atari corp, Atari ltd etc.. I'll give it a go once I have the time.
-
Thanks for the answer, probably the way to go for me then I guess, I could create a duplicate MAME playlist (and rename the media to that playlist name, or rename the default MAME platform), where I would add all the games that are not added to any autogenerated playlists. That sounds like a painful process, unless I can basically use the criteria from all the other playlists but reversed (like brand != Atari or something like that). Or check if those are really games I am interested in and if not just simple hide it.
