I agree. I was thinking in those rare cases, though. And not just about emulation. Colombia last year, I believe, had the biggest programming course with the most attendants in programming history. There is a work force and a market there yet to be tapped to its fullest potential. And the country next door is a good place to be out of the reach of countries like Japan, when doing things Japanese businesses might not like. Until of course international relations come to an agreement again. Just something to keep in mind, in case folks wake up one day with wild aspirations. There are... options.

My opinion is community. I believe the little child in us all, brings us all together. I think such efforts like Yuzu should be done in countries like Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, or even Colombia. But mostly Venezuela. Since Japan hasn't recognized their government since 2019, Venezuelan business ventures are free to do what they wish with Japan's digital property and interpret it their own way. Also, I don't believe the Latin American retro gaming community has been marketted to enough. And the US sanctions against Venezuela, no longer have the strengh it used to since most Latin American nations have reopened thier doors to Venezuelan trade and business. Which means, a business like Yuzu in Venezuela can sell to most American nations, except maybe the US, Canada, El Salvador, and now Argentina. A subsidiary in another country would possibly be able to sell to the US. In such independent countries, ideas like Yuzu can flourish and would be welcomed warmly. Or Yuzu can fight it. Either way, I believe the community needs a base in the Caribbean beaches of Venezuela for longevity, with an office in Colombia to do business transactions with the world.

Hi, Im brand spanking new to BigBox/Launchbox. Just got BigBox for my Windows 11 desktop, yesterday. Enclosed are two images showing my issue with every theme for BigBox. When I scroll through the consoles, the main images/animations dont show. Yet it shows it for NES, only. It doesnt show for Genesis, SNES, Atari, Coleco, Amiga, MSDOS, or Windows. I wanted to add a few more consoles, but holding up on that, until I get BigBox working correctly. Any idea what I did wrong or what I have to do to fix it? It works for NES though, with cool music and animations. But doesnt work for anything else.

Thanks for the feedback. That one looks nice. I couldnt wait though and ended up going for a ShanWan. The dpad are buttons, so maybe that will work better, since I have seen many people complain about dpads. I dont know, honestly. But all the buttons light up and it has that smaller look, so I dont look like a total dweeb in the subway or at work. Its on sale for $30 on Amazon. I only saw two gamepads like these with light up buttons, one was going for $50 and has rumble capabilities. Image below. Amazon dealers for some reason dont like to advertise the names of their gamepad devices, which is weird. But I went for the $30 ShanWan because of the smaller look and longer battery life, which is 25 hours. The $50 one is pretty, but is only 15 hours of play. Maybe I'll write a review here after I get to play with it.

This question goes out to all the Launchbox users on Androids. What are your favorite wireless controllers for your mobile device, and why? Post screenshots if you can. Right now I'm using a discontinued 2018 Ipega. I want to upgrade to one with light up buttons and a good dpad. My dpad doesn't seem sensitive enough and doesn't get the corners unless I press really hard, making me struggle moving back and forth in games like Budokan (Genesis, Amiga, MS-DOS). Ideally: 1. The inputs (buttons, sticks, dpad) should be easily picked up by the game. 2. Buttons should light up. 3. Should physically look nice connected to your mobile device, not just a regular gamepad that one would use on a desktop or console.

Thanks Joe for the reply. That clarifies everything. A bit saddened I can't share the premium account between my desktop (windows 11) and the retro gaming device (android) I'm working on. Hopefully that may change in the near future and subscriptions can be tied to an email address rather than an operating system. Now I have to decide which project to abandon half way, my desktop or retro mobile gaming device.

If I subscribe through the yearly subscription or get the lifetime subscription, how many devices can I use Bigbox on? Do I get to install it on my desktop and phone? And if I get a new phone will there be a problem porting the license? Can I have it on my desktop, phone and on a project to make an arcade cabinet in my living room? What's my limit?
