Show Us Your LaunchBox! Celebrating 13 Years Together
AstroBob replied to AstroBob's topic in Community Corner
Hi Folks, thanks for all the wonderful submissions here, amazing to see how everyone is using, tweaking and enjoying LaunchBox! The thread is now locked while we process the entries and additional points. I'll reach out here once we've confirmed that the winners have been contacted -
Probably the thing for me is the Export To Android feature on the Windows side. It means you can bundle up all your metadata, games and media that you've curated on Windows and create package that is simply drag & drop over to Android and you're good to go, rather than having to setup an entire Android build from scratch : )

14.0.1 is now now which should have a fix to address this. Thanks for bearing with us there.

Heya, you should be able to grab a new version of this plugin now with this addressed. Give me a shout if that doesn't work for you.

Show Us Your LaunchBox! Celebrating 13 Years Together
AstroBob replied to AstroBob's topic in Community Corner
It's displayed on screen midway, however those codes are only valid for around 24 hours so unfortunately it wouldn't work. I believe VODs aren't supported in Korea due to Twitch's presence there, but if you have access to a VPN I believe you can get it around it that way to check either yesterdays or today's stream (when that goes live later). Yesterdays steam will also be up on YouTube later today. -

Yep, the Twitch streams will be uploaded to our YouTube channel. Might not be right away but you should be able to re-watch them there soon after -
Show Us Your LaunchBox! Celebrating 13 Years Together
AstroBob replied to AstroBob's topic in Community Corner
Alright, I’ll get us started! 🎮 For mine, I wanted to showcase something that has gradually become one of my favorite ways to use LaunchBox: as the central hub for my increasingly unnecessary collection of handhelds. Between Windows and Android, LaunchBox has basically become the ecosystem that ties all of these devices together. Rather than trying to cram my entire library onto every handheld, each one has its own subset of platforms and games tailored to what I actually enjoy playing on that particular device. The Export to Android feature gets a lot of use here too. I can manage everything from my main LaunchBox library on Windows, then easily move the platforms and games I want over to my Android handhelds. It makes setting up a new device, or changing what I keep on one, much easier. I also heavily use Game Statistics Sync across them. Even though I might jump between completely different devices, LaunchBox keeps my play history and favorites together, which makes the whole collection feel much more like one connected library rather than a bunch of separate handhelds. Oh, and yes… that might be a testing build of Dual Screen LaunchBox for Android up there 😉 Now let’s see yours! 👇- 40 replies

LaunchBox is turning 13, and we want to celebrate by seeing how our community has made LaunchBox their own! Over the years, we’ve seen people use LaunchBox in all sorts of different ways, from huge projects to small personal touches that make managing and playing their collection just that little bit better. For our birthday, we want to see what your LaunchBox looks like. Your submission could be something like: 🕹️ An entire arcade cabinet or gaming setup you’ve built around LaunchBox or Big Box 🎨 A custom theme you’ve created or customized to get your setup looking exactly how you want it ⚙️ A particular way you’ve configured LaunchBox or Big Box, whether that’s your layout, views, controls, startup experience, or something else 📚 A collection or playlist you’ve put together that you’re particularly proud of 🗂️ A clever way you’ve organized or categorized your games, platforms, genres, series, or anything else in your library 🏎️ A setup built around a particular type of gaming, such as a light gun, racing, couch gaming, handheld, or retro setup 🖼️ Your own combination of artwork, videos, metadata, themes, and other customization that gives your library its own look and feel ❤️ Or simply something about your LaunchBox setup that you love and want to show off These are just examples. Nothing is too big or too small. You don’t need to have built an elaborate arcade cabinet or spent months creating a theme to take part. If you’ve done something with LaunchBox that you’re proud of, we’d like to see it. 📸 To take part, reply to this thread and show us what you’ve created.

Thanks for the update there, and I had you on my list to reach out to, since we did do some work regardless controller profiles and, phantom inputs and rogue disconnects for 14.0. Not for your issue specifically, but I was hopefully in the process of those additional something may have helped here. I was actually holding off as we have an upcoming hotfix (14.0.1) that further addresses some controller bugs that slipped into 14.0, so certainly feel free to try that once it drops. We won't consider it solved just yet, will wait to hear how you get on and if others here also see any improvements on 14.0. Please continue to keep me posted and thanks again for all the testing everyone is doing

Hi Folks, thanks everyone for the continued feedback and reports here. We're glad to hear things are looking good for some but want to try and fix up issues for those who a have been experiencing them. Just to let y'all know we're hard at work on a 14.0.1 (something we've never done in the past), but this will contain exclusively fixes being reported from the release. We'll let y'all know once its ready which should hopefully address some of the issues reported here and we can then narrow down what is still left to tackle. Will keep y'all posted!

Heya, we have this fixed up internally and just pending a release for the plugin, will let you know when it's ready and out.

Hi Folks, Thanks for the reports, just to let you know we've identified and fixed this up internally and are aiming to get a hotfix out for this. I'll let you know soon as that is ready. Thanks for bearing with us there

Grid spacing and configuration by platform
AstroBob replied to Luca1010's topic in Website/Forum Support
Hiya, thanks for the feedback here: This should already be possible by right click in the grid and selecting configure layout, you'll see this widnow: Items height allows you to configure the height between games Would you mind elaborating on this, do you mean the section on the left hand side, you want that to be auto-hidden when selecting a single platform? -
Launchbox 14.0 Related Games Meta Data Editing Bug
AstroBob replied to wjrandon's topic in Troubleshooting
Thanks for reporting this, it looks like this has been around for quite a while, but regardless thanks for flagging. We'll get this fixed up internally. -
Yep, the beta cycle for 13.28 became 14.0, given the amount that went into it and the amount of testing, we thought it warrented a good ol’ version bump You can read more about the decision to do this here: https://feedback.launchbox-app.com/changelog/launchbox-for-windows-140
