  1. Go to Tools Options input and there are ways to setup your buttons.
  2. DOS76

    RocketLauncher

    They do have a forum.
  3. Do you mean "Can you configure a button to exit from the emulator with a 360 controller"? If so the answer is yes but I don't use that feature and someone else will have to explain it to you. If that isn't what you meant then I'm sorry I don't understand your question.
  4. Not everyone wants to exclude the multiple disks on import. I always import all the disks this way I know what games have multiple disks then I create additional apps for those games under disc 1 and then delete them this ensure all my multidisc games get setup how I want them.
  5. Add the files through drag and drop and exclude the ones you don't want if they are in sub folders use Windows Explorer search option to show what ever file type that you want. This process if not automatic and it does require the user to put forth a little bit of effort.
  6. During the import there is a form in the wizard that shows you all the game names and paths you use that. Find all the extra disks highlight them and press delete.
  7. I use Alt+f4 to exit or navigate to the close button and close with my mouse.
  8. I have a few ideas but I know they aren't feasible because they would require licensing like a Pac-Man shirt where the dots are LaunchBox cubes and the Power Pellets are BigBox cubes. The LaunchBox cube with the top swung open like a chest with a glowing light inside and console logos or game sprites shooting out in all directions with something like LaunchBox See what's inside or something like that but like I said since you can't use the logos or sprites and probably even the names of any of the platforms it isn't doable. Think inside the Box. I don't know I'm just kicking shit around in my head.
  9. Its like this really if Jason isn't going to pay for a designer to do the work anyway because that isn't really feasible then no designers have lost out on anything. Like if I torrent a movie that I was never going to pay to buy or see then to some I've stolen someones property but to me you weren't going to get my money anyway so what have you really lost. At this point Jason can't even be sure that any of these shirts will sell at all so I could see not wanting to put out the cost of the designer to something that may not fly but if the merch idea was to take off and then you have made some money but you need new shirt ideas then maybe getting a designer to help out wouldn't be a bad idea but not when you are just trying to see if there is even any interest in the product yet.
  10. It is one of the highest quality controllers I've ever seen. It was expensive so I'm glad that it was well made but it exceeded my expectations. I still need to build something to mount it on it really only used a few times I would like to change that but need to make room in order to use it properly.
  11. Yeah I never use anything but Platform view so I guess people using other filters could run into issues doing it that way.
  12. So to delete a platform actually the user would want to use Ctrl+A to select all games and then right click and choose delete from the context menu? Is this correct.
  13. I have a Logitech G27 Racing Wheel I wonder if that could be setup as a spinner.
  14. As a new method I would suggest disregarding the shell.AppsFolder method while yes it does work and it would acutally allow you to make multiple shortcuts at once (or at least quicker one at a time(so don't totally disregard it)) but you can pin an app to start and then right click it go to more and choose pin to taskbar then hit shift + right click on the taskbar icon and choose create a shortcut this works for even the Microsoft games that aren't in the AppsFolder so you can launch your MS Solitaire, Minesweeper, Sudoku or Mahjong from within LaunchBox/BigBox now too. You can then move your shortcut into LB games folder or leave it on your Desktop its up to you then you can even unpin the game from both taskbar and start and the shortcut will still work (eliminating clutter). I guess you could drag and drop all the games at once making a fake emulator path for all the games but not really using it. I've been adding the games one at a time and getting images from Google as I add them. There is no metadata found for any of these games.
  15. Your welcome and yes once I reread my original post and add a few games it actually is very easy. So shell.AppsFolder does work for you? I wonder why it doesn't for Jason.
  16. That is strange but I just checked from the start you can pin something to the taskbar and then if you hit shit + right click it offers you the option to create a short cut from there. Are you on the stable version or in the Insider Program? Is it Pro version or Core? I don't know if they would make a difference but I'm in the IP and have Pro version of 10
  17. How about a simple one Big Box written in RUN DMC style logo with the BjigBox logo as the dot over the i.
  18. If you type in shell.AppsFolder in a runbox it will open Windows Explorer in a folder called Applications from there anything you right click on will offer you the option to create a shortcut it will then prompt you that the shortcut can't be made there and ask if you would like to place it on your desktop. I then made a folder in LaunchBox\Games called Windows Store and place the shortcuts in there.
  19. I have a Logitech M570 trackball it is the ultimate in laziness now I only have to move one finger instead of whole hand. I'm not sure how it works with MAME trackball games I should test it. As for games that require spinners I don't play them because I don't have the proper controller would like to have one so I can play Ka-Boom for Atari 2600 I used to love that game as a kid.
  20. Could an option to add Windows Store be implemented that would take you to the applications folder (basically run the Shell.AppsFolder like you are from the run box) and then a wizard that lets you add a shortcut for the game to your LaunchBox game folder or is it impossible for a third party application to be granted access to this folder? I mean the folder is very hidden it doesn't even have a path listed to it when you open it it just says Applications.
  21. I'd like to revise my opinion that this was difficult because it is actually very easy to setup. It would be better if you could add the games from their folder but this does work. You just make a shortcut place the short cut in a folder inside of LaunchBox called Windows Store (or whatever you prefer) go back to LaunchBox click the add button fill in the name the platform and the path and you are all setup. The last game I added is an XBox game and it shows up in the list of apps so maybe it is just the Microsoft games that don't show in the folder.
  22. Yeah you are right I unchecked the emulator and it still launched the game so you could add them through the add button and not need to add an emulator.
  23. The worst thing about this though is that for every game you added you would have to add the shortcut as a new emulator making your list of emulators grow very large if you were using a lot of Windows Store apps. If you were to go this route you may want to use a secondary version of LaunchBox just for Windows Store games.
  24. Yeah shorting it usually works for me as I've run across this problem with Nintendo DS and GameCube games where the people want to add long ass names of who ripped them or dumped them whatever you want to call it usually removing their tag from the file name gets it in working order.
  25. Ok I just dug a little deeper Almost all the apps I have pinned are in the folder the only game I have is an XBox Game and that isn't in the folder but if you launch the XBox One app you can then launch the game. I'm downloading a non XBox game to see if that works differently. Ok I did grab a game called March of Empires and it was included in the folder so yes you could set up the shortcut to Launch it the only games that wouldn't work for are the XBox/Microsoft games because the are in the XBone app but like I said set up the XBox One app in LaunchBox and then access those games from there. Here is the finished product.
