I just heard news that SteamOS has been released for the Legion, The Legion Go, Rog Ally and limited (so far) support for other handhelds. This is a pretty big deal, and It's going to cause a domino effect in that I expect to see things like Game Pass working MUCH more natively with Steam OS very soon, and hopefully even some day there will be enough interest in it for people to want to put Launchbox on it. Thank you guys for all the hard work you do.

Arcade64 No-Nag View File Latest Release: .279 ARCADE64 is a Windows-based frontend for MAME, a multi-arcade emulator. Its useful if you want mame but want a nice gui for settings. No support will be provided, due to me checking the forum very infrequently. https://arcade.mameworld.info/ ARCADE64 is a continuation of the MAMEUIFX project. It is based on the latest MAME source at the time of release. It is in maintenance only (no active development of new features). What's in it? Arcade games only NO mechanical games (pinball, crane games, etc) NO computers, consoles, terminals, appliances, etc Only playable games are included –-------- This is the No-Nag version of MAME front end, Arcade64 You need to have setup Arcade 64 in advance. This is only a replacer for the exe. source code and project files available through my Github: https://github.com/xechostormx/arcade64-No-Nag I will upload new versions as long as I am still using the software.

Arcade64 NoNag View File LATEST: 0.277 I was trying out Arcade64 and like it quite a lot for its nice user interface for setting up shaders. I really didn't like the nag screen you see on most every game, and couldn't find an updated version of no-nag anywhere... so, I learned how to make one. Overwrite your Arcade64 exe with this. I can't provide support, it just works. Special thanks to the Discord for getting me excited about Mame and answering my questions.

I created the list and used excel to create 2 columns and then uploaded it to copilot and asked it to merge it all into 1 line, separated by commas, with a ' at the beginning and end of each word. Took about 5 min. Hope that helps someone.

I am not sure If I can do it, or its SUPER OBVIOUS, but is there a way to save my current settings as a custom theme so I can back it up if I ever have to reinstall? Is it as simple as just doing a create data backup?

I am glad you asked this q too, as mine has my full REAL name on it so screenshots and the like I get a little concerned about, and particularly if the device gets stolen somehow. Just hiding it and saying something like : 'Launchbox Premium' there instead would be cool.

Hey guys, I love Launchbox but really don't use it much, however, my son is getting a ROG ALLY for his BDAY and I was thinking I would put Launchbox on it. Can anyone suggest a configuration? I am guessing that's what BIGBOX is for, and really would just like to know about themes, and if anyone owns one, what kind of capabilities they have seen out of it and any issues with retroarch / etc.
