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?
