  1. I've struggled with this in the past too. I just tried the script you have and that didn't work for me either
  2. Armed police drones are a scary thing in my opinion. I imagine they could be used against citizens who were participating in protest or other situations involving civil unrest (ie Ferguson or Baltimore)
  3. Using LaunchBox with Plex and SlingPlayer show the potential for making LaunchBox BigBox a shell for a media PC or arcade machine. Sorry for the low quality video I had to do something to get it to fit I used a program called SnagIt to do the capture. I originally tried the Game Recorder built into Windows 10 but it only showed LaunchBox when I launched Plex or SlingPlayer the capture was of LaunchBox running in the background.
  4. wait that was all CGI damn looks so life like
  5. Looks amazing now lets hope they do the story justice and it isn't all effects like some other remakes have been (RoboCop and Total Recall)
  6. Good to hear you are figuring things out.
  7. https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/features/kodi-addon-for-launching-big-box This will explain everything
  8. Have you seen this post https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/emulation/command-line-parameters-arguments
  9. Actually its right click then edit and finally search for metadata
  10. @crimsonnight I was using NullDC today on my Windows 10 64x machine I don't ever use disc just files. I got all of the files from Emuparadise.
  11. http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?71021-Covert-bin-cue-to-CDI I don't know how valid it is but a poster named Zorlon explains that it is difficult (or not possible) to convert cue + bin to cdi. I use NullDC for Dreamcast but also have Demul working too. There is a good tutorial on how to set up NullDC here
  12. Its odd that you aren't getting Metadata for that game because I have the metadata from thegamesdb right click on the game and then search for metadata this will provide you with options of any close matches. The title mine has is Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun. Importing all the games again should get you results for only new games in the folder (if you are using folders and not files) unless during the import you clicked the check box to allow duplicates if you add new games to your collection you could always import them individually with the files option With Actraiser is the rom in .zip format and if so are there multiple versions of the rom inside the .zip or even if you extracted a .zip with multiple versions to a folder that will create a entry for ever rom inside the folder. The best way to deal with dupes is to click on each duplicate while holding in control then right click on one of the highlighted files and choose delete from the options.
  13. Poked around a little and found something called Castor on GitHub it allows you to launch applications as channels but only on the computer running the server which is useless to me since my PMS runs on a Windows Home Server 2011 I have in the basement what I am looking for would be a way to launch BigBox locally from my Plex Home Theater program which would probably be impossible since everything on Plex relies on the server side. I would somehow need PHT to be able to launch programs on its own.
  14. I think you misunderstood I meant launch either Plex or Kodi from inside BigBox since I don't think you can launch BigBox from Plex (or if you can I don't know how). Also would your launcher allow to launch say the SlingBox desktop app and then you would have seamless TV, media and emulation.
  15. Ok a couple of questions here does Kodi still store all of your metadata in the folders with the files because I find that to clutter up my folders in ways I don't care for. I switched over from XBMC to Plex and I have to say I just think Plex looks better (personal preference). I know that there isn't anyway to launch BigBox from Plex but couldn't I easily launch Plex from inside of BigBox or Kodi for that matter.
  16. I had some friends who obsessively played Dr. Mario whenever they did cocaine.
  17. @GatoSoft my game library is currently 8501 games but I don't have any videos for my collection.
  18. Get a browser extension that allows you to download YouTube content I've used to get rare things that I couldn't find a torrent for and to download music videos from back in the day.
  19. Works great. I'm very very very glad that you have this feature included. I've never had to use it before but if suddenly all my hard work into LaunchBox was gone I'd probably be very upset. Has this always been a feature or did you add it after experiencing catastrophic failure?
  20. I am getting a corrupt XML error message so I see my back up in the backup folder so how do I utilize the file to recover my XML
  21. Sorry I should have read closer I assumed that you were using in a dual monitor setting and using one DVI and HDMI at the same time just that your new monitor didn't support DVI so you couldn't connect both at the same time. I see now that isn't the case. I use an adapter like that but for vga to dvi since my video card is only dvi and hdmi and my TV doesn't support DVI my second monitor is connected by an Asus WiCast (a short lived and relatively unknown wireless display device(It works great though)) which requires my HDMI port. You're absolutely correct about the sound HDMI is the only cable that does audio and video unless there is something newer I haven't heard of yet What type of audio card does your PC have? Could you connect like a 3.5 wire to rca audio y cable from the PC to the receiver
  22. get a hdmi to dvi adapter then everything should be back to normal. http://www.amazon.com/Importer520-Plated-Female-DVI-D-Adapter/dp/B0035B4LJM/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1442179819&sr=1-2&keywords=hdmi+to+dvi+adapter
  23. Use Paint or something else to crop and edit to get just the front cover. It can be time consuming but for me the end results are worth it.
  24. Is anyone using MAME v0.164 I get an error about -nowindows being an unknown option. Ok did a little searching and found this http://easyemu.mameworld.info/mameguide/mameguide-options.html if you click on -windows it gives you opposites to the command which lists -nowindows and -now. If you change -nowindows to -now it works again with no error message.
  25. Damn talking about my setup and now it seems that my 24'' Asus has died the monitor says that it is on (blue light opposed to orange) but I only have a black screen if I power it off and back on the Asus logo appears then my screen flashes up and then winks right back to black. I've unplugged it tried multiple HDMI cables and multiple computers all with the same reaction so monitor is definitely the culprit I have to go scrounge around for a vga plug in the morning and see if maybe it still works with other outputs. If it is kaput then my 6 monitor desktop will just have to become a 5 screen setup
