  1. I haven't been able to get the X press to work either it seems like f12 is the only keyboard key that does anything
  2. I have a Core i5 3330 with Intel HD 2500 graphics and it handles BigBox nicely it also emulates GameCube and PS2 pretty well with the occasional performance issues with some games on those platforms but for what you want they should work great. I use RetroArch for N64 and it handles it great and it even handles some of the shaders (others cause massive slow downs though) If you want a card though anything Nvidia 600 700 series should be fine for you. This is just a gift for your sister so I could see not wanting to go all out with the build. To be honest a 4th gen i3 could probably handle it.
  3. I would say that if you want to go cheap then you aren't worrying about getting a GPU cause onboard would handle anything that you are asking for a 3rd or 4th gen i5 would handle it no problem but I say get at least 4GB if not 8GB of RAM and 64bit Windows. If you can get a good deal on 7 or 8.1 buy that and upgrade for free to 10 as long as you do it before July 29th.
  4. Whatever is in that bowl pack must be some high-powered supersonic shit because that post is basically incoherent I'm about to take a Pineapple White Owl to the face though and watch the NBA Finals until I drift off into the land of nod.
  5. What type of controller are you using my XB360 left triggers as the z-trigger is working in the Ocarina menu screen of the latest stable version of RA for me.
  6. I'm not sure really but I see that left trigger and z trigger are set to use the same button. I'll check mine and post it in a few minutes.
  7. I remember some of those old numbers still but these days only really know my own by memory and my siblings and parents by sight. Still I don't miss knowing these numbers I have memory to know more important things like 007-373-5963
  8. I would say that if you do get the error running the program outside of LB also that it may be an issue with the program. Have you tried running it in compatibility mode for XP or Vista. I'm guessing by the screenshot that it is an older game.
  9. This is only a one time occurrence so far but this is the latest crash I got from LB System.InvalidOperationException: Object is currently in use elsewhere. at System.Drawing.Graphics.CheckErrorStatus(Int32 status) at System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pen pen, Int32 x, Int32 y, Int32 width, Int32 height) at System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pen pen, Rectangle rect) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlPaint.DrawFocusRectangle(Graphics graphics, Rectangle rectangle, Color foreColor, Color backColor) at (GameGui , Graphics , Int32 , Boolean ) at LaunchBox.Drawing.GameGui.Paint(Graphics g, Int32 yOffset, Boolean controlFocused) at (ImageGamesControl , PaintEventArgs ) at LaunchBox.Controls.ImageGamesControl.OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.PaintWithErrorHandling(PaintEventArgs e, Int16 layer) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmPaint(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

    Phoenix

    As long as it only supports RetroArch cores and has absolutely no customization I don't see that being a factor at this time.

    Phoenix

    I just downloaded it and its limited by being only compatible with RetroArch cores. Also I just tested a game and the performance between Phoenix and RetroArch are nowhere close to the same but it is only alpha stage.
  12. I use it on an Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with a mobile Core 2 Duo T8300 with 4GB and the performance isn't bad at all in LB. BigBox is another story altogether, but I never use it on a laptop anyway so no loss there. I have LB with a lite install with only cover art on a Insignia Windows 10 tablet with an quad core atom (don't recall the model its not very old) and only 1GB of RAM and as long as you turn down the RAM cache to like just a smidgen past zero even that works okay with some lag when getting covers (Its only 1GB of RAM so you can't expect much) but RetroArch is snappy on there and the telescopic Ipega Bluetooth controller I have fits it perfectly to make it a pretty awesome handheld about the size of the Wii U controller.
  13. Did you check in your all platform to see if the games are still in there? If they are edit one and see if it has a platform assigned to it.
  14. Okay Demul is a little tricky to setup and to use it fully in LaunchBox you have have to set it up twice because it needs separate settings for Dreamcast games and for the Arcade game that it supports. I've included 4 screen shots of my Edit Emulator Form with the emulator details tab and the associated platform tab for both my DC and my Arcade set ups you will find them below once you set everything up like this it should just launch the game for you.

  15. I've been using the beta forever and I would suggest it. To be safe make a copy of your XML before you opt into the beta this way if you run into issues or are not happy with the beta you can always revert back. To get into the beta go to Tools >options >updates and check the box to update to beta releases.
  16. Yeah you aren't using the latest beta then. The beta has much more options for you to choose from. I haven't updated my arcade folder yet but I believe that it has many more options now.
  17. All you have to do then is cut all the images from their MAME paths one folder at a time and paste them in the appropriate section of the LaunchBox\Image\Arcade folder or copy/cut all of the folders you want and add them to the before mentioned path then change the name of the folder to match the appropriate one in LB.
  18. I actually have a paid license for XPadder but I don't use it I actually couldn't figure out or find an tutorials when I was messing with it to setup button combos (although I admit I didn't search extensively) and the issue I used it for got fixed with newer XBox 360 drivers so I just stopped using it. I recently converted to RetroArch and I absolutely love it based on the controller features alone not to mention all the other awesome features and would like to see some more controller features enabled in LaunchBox for convenience not out of necessity since I always have my keyboard in reach.

    Nintendo NX

    They truly are unique that is for sure.The 1st time I played Mario 3d Worlds and the screen was telling me to blow on the controller to operate the fan I was totally mind blown.

    Nintendo NX

    I don't know the handheld wouldn't need to be that powerful you would just need a good internet connection to stream from the console at your home. Also I don't believe rumors nor do I disbelieve them I just know they are rumors and wait for facts to know whether they are true or not.
  21. Hey you know I always have my keyboard handy because I basically feel crippled using just a controller. That being said implementing better controller support more like RetroArch uses could increase the controller functionality exponentially.

    Nintendo NX

    I was just curious as to whether or not the new Nintendo would support any kind of VR and I came upon this story which I suggest you take it for what it is worth because it is plainly filled with speculations and rumors. I just found it interesting considering if it does have VR and also the rumored anywhere functionality of the handheld (which will be insane if it is true) that this will be a very unique console and hopefully Nintendo will be rewarded for their innovation.
