DOS76

Jason when I installed the update it was already directed to my LaunchBox folder on my E drive. Also installed to two other machines and it was set to the right folder.

Copy your Lauchbox folder and remove the license XML from the copy then run one when you are using it and the other when you are recording or do some video editing and blur the name out like it was a mob snitch on TV

Maddoc did a little more research into auto logon and found a very easy to implement System Internals tool called Auto Logon I haven't set it up to show the frontend yet but I installed it on my WHS2011 install that runs my Plex Media Server and now on restart the computer logs on and Plex starts back up. It would be nice if the people at Plex made some changes so Plex would just run as a service but they seem unwilling to do so. Nice to finally find a work around thanks for the idea.

Installed without any issues on my end

Sorry you got me all supped up with the discussion of the invalid OS's

Ever hear of Microsoft Toolkit it lets you activate many different versions of Windows. Its how I activated my evaluation version of Server 2012 R2 Essentials. Windows reports it as containing a virus but I think that would be in their best interest. I've never ran into an issues

Agree with the Alphabetic jumping 100%

My last BIOS time was 21.4 seconds (never knew that was listed in the Task Managers startup tab) It really wasn't that long until BigBox started was just trying to see if I could make it seamless is all not really a big deal. As for Windows 10 I upgraded most of mine from valid licenses but also did a few dual boots and clean installs My OS crapped out on a laptop and a tablet and I just reinstalled 10 instead of my backups from my Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials machine. Now I have the option to make them official or stay in the Windows Insider program with them. I am probably going to just stay in the insiders program even though I have valid licenses for all of them. I just bought a MeeGoPad computer stick today that actually ships with a trial license of Windows 8.1 plan on upgrading to free Windows 10 as soon as I get it in my hands.

Windows 10 on all my machines I have a few startup items most of them with low impact a few with High (Actual Windows Manager, BitTorrent, OneDrive and Steam are the biggest offenders along with BigBox now)

I have already set it to run at startup I am just not satisfied with how slowly it takes to start thats why I thought that the screenshot Idea was so good it will look like it is on screen until it actually loads.

Maddoc1007 that is very interesting but if I choose to auto logon won't it mess with my ability to network? Most of my games are stored on my Windows Home Server and if I couldn't access the shared media it could cause havoc. As for the build nothing to indepth just some pics here and there.

Argh! I wish I would have asked before I went to work it was a total mind numbing experience

Martin that is actually a very simple and slick solution to the problem. Quite brilliant. Hopefully you will be documenting your arcade cabinet build here on the forum. I'm interested to see how it comes out.

I did end up editing the XML file I just had to edit 1068 entries are you saying your way would have changed them all at once or are you just explaining how to change XML entries in general.

BigBox takes a little while to start up I was hoping to somehow have it seemless like Windows didn't even exist but that probably won't possible.

I meant folder associated with LaunchBox in the last post

I wish you could bulk edit game paths. I realized last night that I had moved the folder to my NES games that I had associated with Plex. I didn't want to delete them and re-add them since I had spent hours getting images and linking games that weren't found due to small naming issues. Instead I ended up changing the XML entries for 1068 games while I watched/listened to 8 episodes of Night Court on Plex. (Dual monitor setup)

I like the idea of BigBox as a Arcade Frontend can you have Windows have it be the first thing you see when the computer starts up.

Jason I switched from LaunchBox to BigBox and launched BigBox on its own and neither offered me the option to upgrade I am currently on 5.0-beta-22

I don't see the Big Box updater.

Same issue

Personally I would just rather remove games from Launchbox as it is now then if I want to actually delete them I will just do so through File Explorer.

Nice! I have seen that for a lot of games and now that you mention it I did know T stood for translation but never put it together that the next part was the language that it is translated into. Thanks for the info I will have to look into it a little more.

Wait there are translation patches for some games so you can take Japanese only games and patch them to use English that is pretty cool. I'm interested in learning more about this. I assume that most European games unless they have a specific country code have an English language option.
