  1. So ive been working on some custom platforms / categories like Keybings and Walkthroughs. So what i have done is created some artwork with controller layouts to show the player what buttons do what for each system, i have then added this jpeg into each platform as a "rom file" and named it ~Key Bindings the "~" makes it the first in the list of games so the player can see it clearly when opening a platform. Then when you click on the "keybindings" jpeg i have made it open in chrome in Kiosk mode/fullscreen mode to keep it looking clean. I added this feature because while i know what every button does other people may not know what each button represents for each system. As for Walkthroughs i thought this maybe helpfull for those games where you may need a little guidance... i will add chrome to each platform and maybe calll it Walkthroughs or something of course ill put a "~" in front of the title so it will also be on the top of the list, i will then have it so chrome opens in kiosk mode and to the youtube.com/leanback (some random walk through YT channel ) mode as this is a very clean look for YT and easy to navigate with a controller. I also might add a Platform like LaunchBox Media or something that will open chrome with Youtube.com/leanback mode and have it open to the LaunchBox YT channel so that i can keep upto date with all the LaunchBox videos all via LaunchBox... Oh and this is all with the help of Controller Compainion with i have created a custom profile to activate when cheome is opened up ao it is easy to navigate and search all via a controller. Oh i am also using a custom mouse profile so it looks like the WII hand so it still gives you the feeling that you are using a "Console" of sorts. Will post up a video and photos when i gwt home and complete this :)
  2. It was all working fine a few betas ago, i haven't had a chance to have a good look at it yet but ill check in the morning and make sure the directories are all matched up.. ill report back when i get up. :)
  3. So my NES and SNES artwork for some reason is not showing up / linking to the artwork that i already have on my HDD or that i download. Has this been an issue for anyone else? I could have a bit of a dig around on my system and try n work it out but i thought i would check here 1st.
  4. imdavid555 said Mute64 said I had a look at his link he left in the Video description, lots of nice artwork there. http://www.screenscraper.fr/systemeinfos.php?plateforme=26&alpha=0&numpage=0 Yeah saw that as well. Too bad I can't figure out how to download some of it. Guessing you need to sign up and create an account ? Have no idea because the site is all in french. i did google translate, signed up and yea you can download images
  5. SentaiBrad said Do you have a download link? If you do release it for others I know there will be people who appreciate it. If you do make it public, please make sure it's either DropBox, Google Drive, Mediafire or MEGA. I had a look at his link he left in the Video description, lots of nice artwork there. http://www.screenscraper.fr/systemeinfos.php?plateforme=26&alpha=0&numpage=0
  6. Yea i thought you may have, i was playing it last night and was like dam ive got to tell someone about this game lol, im going to check it out on steam now.... thats 2 games that you have got me to buy ;)
  7. Oh by the way Brad if you get a chance you should check out this PSP mini called Canabalt it is surprisingly addictive but very simple and highly competitive if playing with friends.
  8. No worries brad, that game actually looked really fun, and i may even purchase it because of your video.... shame the partnership may not work out.
  9. System video Update: So i have done a bit of an updated video showcasing my setup, i uploaded two videos one with comentary and one with out since i may put you to sleep with my voice :) Each video has time stamps in the video so you do not have to scrub thru the video your self or watch parts that do not interest you. No commentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_2w3N2HdEA Commentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyLDCHm_2sE
  10. I have it setup with Retroarch to have different overlays per system, but i see you have found another way todo it. :)
  11. Would this ROMLISTER program be able to bulk remove certain ROMs from my mame collection that i don't want, for example Lightgun games or trackball games? Or is there a way i could do it thru Launchbox? https://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/
  12. Just been on a 3week holiday and i took my Portable Arcade machine with me, everything seemed to work very well appart from the odd hick up when an internet connection was required. I now have a LAN this weekend that hosts over 800 like minded pc gamers, hopefully i can draw some attention to my setup and get some new members interested or to join/purchase LaunchBox.
  13. I was in the same boat as you DOS76, after watching Brads tutorial video i decided to migrate as many of my systems to RA, i just love the controller support and being able to save and load states all by the controller no keyboard needed which is exactly what im aiming for in my build 100% controller supported, also that rewind feature i must admit gets used way to much ;) i have it mapped to the "back"/"select" button on my 360 controller. While there are ceartain games i still run on ceartian emulators ild say 80% of my library is run via RA, im also currently working on some custom bezels for each system as well. I do still have issues with certain psx games but i think it may just be a bad rip of the game....... Next is to get into MAME @SentaiBrad did you metion in your last tut you were working on a MAME tutorial?
  14. Thanks, yea i use that website and romulation, i was just checking to see what format the sega dreamcast files were on that website since my current small collection of dreamcast games are cue/bin files. Just got a 10+10 Math sum, thats my highest yet! do i get a reward ;)
  15. Thanks brad, ill start the process now then.
  16. How long does it take to Sync to LB DB, if i have a large collection with a lot of artwork is it something i should do over night ?
  17. i get this error when i click on the email link to verify my LB DB http://i.imgur.com/ZfhYnZB.png
  18. DOS76 said Yeah I would have to agree with @CADScott on this one. Why would you want a PI3 over a real gaming PC, one that plays PC games and all available emulated systems? Only real reason would be price point. while you could get a decent emulation machine for older systems with a PI3 its still not going to be able to do what a real PC can do. I have a Ouya and a few Android phones setup to run emulators and they work fine for that but they aren't on par with having a half way decently specced modern PC. Plus only Windows runs LaunchBox and that is reason enough to get a PC to run your emulation needs. Yea this is my exact reason for choosing a PC over a PI3, i have the latest n great PC games on my mini rig there +thousands of retro games. The pc is an all in one everything its bloody great, and what awsome about it its very couch friendly as in it all works with either my remote or a controller, for example everyday after work i like to catch up on my youtube subscribers so when i get home i flik on my htpc it boots up and i grab my remote, then navigate to the youtube Kodi app and watch a few youtube vids, then i back out of that and check who is streamimg on twitch, then when my flatemate gets home i navegate to Dirt Rally and we have turn by turn on each track, then an epic moment happens and i push the reord button on my remote and record and upload the last 1:30 to youtube and this is all via a remote or controller.... soo happy with the build. By the way here is the epic moment from night https://youtu.be/t6tyEz21CGA
  19. Sweet, it now works fine on my end Jason, no lock up on " loading game pop up" after exiting the game.
  20. Jason Carr said Just put out a new beta to address some of the issues with the game loading popup. I finally saw it happen once where the interface didn't refresh after returning from a game. Let me know what issues remain. :) Awesome ill pop on now m ill see how it goes
  21. Bumma, i spoke too soon. While the loading game pop up is realy cool n all it wont go away once i push select+start to close current window so once i close the game/emulator im stuck at a loading game screen. :(
  22. Jason Carr said New beta is out with support for extracting 7z, rar, and zipped ROM files as well as a new optional popup in Big Box when starting games (prevents kids from starting multiple copies of a game). :) Dude i love this touch that you added
  23. Yup sik, its now working with kodi, unfortunately it seams to be buggin out xpadder :(
  24. Bedwyr said The latest Windows 10 update (KB3140768) according to a Kodi user seems to have fixed most or all of the issues regarding XBox One controllers. I've tried plugging one in and so far so good. Kodi responds normally with no inappropriate mapping or bizarre analog input behavior. Big Box likewise responds well and normally. I've tested Retroarch with a SNES core loading FFII and controls respond normally. This is in response to the weird remapping issue that came with the big wireless XB1 release in Oct or Nov. That update appears to have remapped control inputs to something distinct from the 360, notably changing the axes the L and R triggers are on causing unusual control responses and sometimes no control responses. This appears so far to have been fixed. I cannot speak to the nVidia issues in the other thread. That may be a different problem, perhaps unique to a recent video driver update. It's not clear to me what's happening. The Kodi thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=202869&page=5 Sweet, ill try my wireless x1 controller +chatpad when i get home... alltho im still using kodi 15.something is it worth upgrading to 16?
