We might actually see a Linux port at some point, largely because the .NET Framework is making huge strides on Linux right now. However, I don't see it happening very soon. DOSBox and ScummVM I do have on my list to allow customizing/moving. I honestly don't see scraping PSP or PS3 icons happening, mostly just because it's not likely to be a very common request.

Every once in a while (maybe once every couple of months), I get a nasty email like this: I refuse to acknowledge/respond to these people directly. The last thing I want to do is anger someone further into some sort of stupid retaliation. Just posting it here as a coping mechanism really. Here's how I'd very much like to respond: But I'll refrain from responding like that. (Nevermind the fact that I just did.) ;)

Very nice, Martin. I think the problem with the uploads is the % sign.

Hi @eric, in fact it's not there yet. Hoping to add an option for this sooner rather than later. :)

Woot woot! Thank you @Syriacn. :)

^^^ Yup. I promise it'll get better guys. Gonna have to bite the bullet and build our own database first.

Very cool @Syriacn! Any chance you could share the modified launcher files and/or give us more detailed instructions? That's a pretty great setup. I've gotten *lots* of requests for this in particular, so you would win the Internets. :)

By the way, I'm in the process of building my own cab, as well, actually. Really excited about it. I don't plan on making a video, though, but I'll start a forum post here soon on it. :)

Nice @eric! That's really awesome, excited to see the video and such. Of course I'd love to feature you once you have it all done. Thanks to @bd00, we do have a .ai (Adobe Illustrator) file of the Big Box Logo. It doesn't have the text on there with it, but maybe I can put that together. I just don't have Illustrator and don't really know what I'm doing with it (though I know Photoshop pretty well). The font for the logo is Open Sans. Let me know what else you need. :) https://www.dropbox.com/s/pntkivp8hzk3j5n/BigBox_Logo.ai?dl=0

No worries @Syriacn, thanks. :)

Hi @DOS76, you should be able to highlight the games from that platform, and then run the Download Metadata and Images process.

Sure; I do like that concept, but it's still a pretty significant undertaking, so unfortunately I can't promise anything soon.

Sure, makes sense.

@LeviWB, welcome. To combine platforms, you would select all of the games from one platform, and then right click and Edit them. This will bring you into the Bulk Edit wizard. From there, you can set all the games to be the other platform. Not sure if that solves your problem, but that's how you would combine platforms.

Very cool. Suprisingly though lol, looks like we only got about 8 visitors from there yesterday.

I believe you should have editing permission now, @monyarm. I'm fond of open source PC games, so sure. Not sure about the legality of homebrew games, so I really have no idea there.

Very cool, @monyarm. Great idea; I appreciate that you've kept it legal, too. :)

Yes, I'm guessing somehow or other there's an invalid file name in there. Hopefully you can edit the XML file. If you could email your LaunchBox.xml file to jasondavidcarr at gmail dot com (before you fix it) then I can probably get the issue fixed in LaunchBox so that at least it lets you edit it. :)

I see, sure; so we just send it a folder path instead of a ROM file path. I can add that to the list. :) Are you the developer of Higan by chance? Or just know them?

Wow, that's crazy. I'd like to try it to see how well it really works.

Indeed. I do have that one on my list. :)

Makes sense. That'd be a big undertaking at this point, so it's not likely to happen soon. That said, I can see it as part of the long-term plans.

Hi @MultipleX, I do have that on my list, but it unfortunately isn't a very high priority compared to a lot of other things. That said, pretty much anyone could develop a Kodi plugin to do it, so if we're lucky someone will step up in the mean time... :)

So I should switch the default Retroarch core for GBA?

It is indeed. :) I keep a list up at Bitbucket, but it's horrendously out of date. The recent things I have in a simple text file in the project. Anyways, here's Bitbucket at least: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/
