Awesome, glad to know that all works.

Hi @dudechester, yes, that's the issue. I can research it myself eventually but we'll need to search around on the web to figure out what command line parameters are possible.

Ah, yes, that is true. Good point. We do need to warn people for that. I just added it to my list here: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/236/warn-people-about-the-location-of-mame

Yeah, that stupid guide button. I blame Microsoft for botching that one. Getting access to it from anywhere is a huge pain.

Thanks guys, a fix to make this easier is coming. But for now, select the platform in the sidebar, Ctrl + A, delete key.

Oic, fullscreen mode then.

Hi @garbanzo, I plan to add videos directly into LaunchBox itself soon (in the right-hand sidebar). But I can see opening it externally as well, that makes sense. That'd be really easy to do too. Can you add this to the issues tracker here? http://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox I'm starting to use that more for everything now. :)

Lol, nice name. I don't believe the plugin supports killing and re-opening Kodi, unfortunately. @Syriacn worked on the plugin, so we can ask him if that's possible. CPU should be rather minimal when LaunchBox or Big Box isn't focused. RAM can be on the higher end though in LaunchBox if you configure the RAM cache that way and don't tell it to clear it out before launching games (both of which are options under Tools > Options).

Oh, goodness! I didn't realize you had actually given me a bigger icon lol. Thanks @Lmagnus87!

Thank you @Zombeaver and @DOS76. Thanks for putting all those up to Bitbucket, too, @Zombeaver. I've marked a couple as duplicates over there and also commented on the others. I trust you're getting email notifications when I comment (I hope)? @Lmagnus87, sorry I haven't gotten to that yet. If you would please, could you put it in as an issue over at the Bitbucket link (above)?

Hehehehehe.

I'm with you there; I came down with the flu. I'm hyped up on Ibuprofen, so at least I'm half-way here. ;)

Sure, it certainly could have been a temporary connection issue. Who knows, maybe Gabe Newell accidentally deleted some files. ;)

Hi ALIE, any chance you changed your Steam privacy settings? Also, be 100% sure that you're using the right Steam Custom URL. Steam makes it stupid confusing because it's different from your user name and anything else.

Thank you @Bedwyr, and welcome. Issue #4 is already fixed in the latest beta, I believe. We are just today transitioning to a new bug reporting system here: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox If you get a chance and can put those there, that would be awesome. This way we can track each individual issue and you can get updates when I fix them. We've been taking issues in via the forums and it's just started to take way too much management time to take it all in, and then people never know when I get them fixed. Thanks much!

Hi Bucko, this is possible in a couple ways inside of LaunchBox. For one, you can filter by platform, and then type the genre into the search box, and it will display all of that genre for that platform. You can also filter by platform and then arrange by genre, which is how I typically choose to do double filters. It's easy when they're grouped together like that. That functionality is planned for Big Box, but it's not really there yet.

Hi @tommyp, I can certainly see adding this, but as of right now, unfortunately there is no way to do that. Does it just need to be the ROM file name, basically?

Hehehehe, thanks for all that feedback, @shinra358. I think using Bitbucket there should actually be a really big help. And yes, feel free everyone to vote on the issues in the Bitbucket issues list; I'm still working on getting all my backlog of issues in there. If you see something that isn't in there, of course go ahead and add it as well. I will definitely consider the items that have more votes as priorities. My immediate action is to eliminate the bugs, at least the ones that seem significant.

Sure, hmm. I am planning to fix the taskbar issue very shortly, though I also doubt that that is the issue. I'm guessing it's the Steam overlay that is causing the problem, but really I have no idea at this point.

Ah, I see. That's the reason; most controllers don't have any mouse control at all, and thus the LaunchBox custom mouse cursor is controlled with the left stick. So you're only seeing both cursors there because your controller has an option to control the mouse as well. It makes sense to add an option to disable that. Added it here: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/219/add-option-to-disable-the-launchbox-game

Are you talking about LaunchBox or Big Box?

Yes, controllers work fine in Big Box. In fact, it's the same code that's used in LaunchBox, so I'm puzzled as to why we're seeing differences. I'm hoping I can review this soon, however.

Great thoughts, Noodles, and welcome. Per #1, that's a really good point. I plan to get back to Big Box development shortly here and I'll see what I can do to address that. Per #2, I plan to add many more presentation options coming up, so hopefully that will help to optionally reduce the clutter. We're also looking more long-term at a theming engine of sorts. Per C (hehehe), we're always looking to improve the performance, but it could possibly be due to your integrated graphics. There's always more that can be done in this regard though so we'll continue to improve the performance as best we can. Thanks!

Quick update everyone on bug reporting. It is admittedly becoming a bit unwieldy and taking too much time to manage bug reports and feature requests, so I've decided to truly use the Bitbucket issue reporting how it's supposed to be used. I'm still working on importing my backlog of issues and requests, but going forward I'm going to be asking people to put in feature requests and bug reports in the Bitbucket list here: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox I also need to merge in the Report Issue and Feedback options on the website to work with it as well. This way it's just much easier for me to get a big picture and make more educated decisions on the most important things to tackle next. As it stands I tend to tackle what feels important that has recently come in, but of course that has its flaws. That said, for beta testing, errors that only occur on the latest betas would probably be better to continue to report here in this thread (that way beta errors and errors with the official versions can stay separate). Thanks guys for everything, we'll keep on trucking. :)

Lmagnus87 said Launchbox supports Wii remote? In theory, depending on how you have it all configured, but I haven't tested it myself...
