Jason Carr said It sounds to me like it was caused by the XML file getting corrupted, which can happen if LB crashes or force closes. It shouldn't happen often, but unfortunately it does happen (which is why we have backups). I need to make it just automatically restore a backup, at least, if that happens.
Oh right good too know, yea an auto restore xml would be good. :) -
Jason Carr said Yeah, we had this implemented before (searched the hard drive for installed Steam games), but it was horribly glitchy. Unfortunately, there's not a good way to do it.
No worries it isn't a huge annoyance for me and it is easy enough to delete the games i do not want. -
Well thats typicall, lol i have yet to recreate the xml error lol, but now i think about it, its probably because i unchecked the beta version on Launchbox i geuss. I will have to recheck it and then see if i have the issue again.

Only problem i jave with adding my steam id is that launch box then adds all my games i own but i do not have them all installed or do not want them on my arcade pc due to they are purely KBnM supported, if i coud have it just search my currently installed pc games on my arcade machine it would be much better, since at the moment i have to go thru all the gamed i dont want and then delete them.

Maddoc1007 said Here is a way for windows to boot directly to frontends http://www.mp3car.com/the-faq-emporium/51635-faq-boot-directly-into-your-front-end.html
This is how i have been using steam big picture/launch box/GameEX. You literally see your mobo logo flash up ( which you can disable in your bios) then b4 windows even logs you in your choosen front end will open up. Even if you say pressed alt f4 and closed the front end all that is on your screen is a black screen :) no taskbar nothing. CTRl ALT DELETE still works so you can always still open up the task manager and open up regedit to stop your front end launching over windows. I was using launchbox to boot this way but i have reverted back to steam big picture as i prefer its full control support lay out and it looks very nice n slick, then if i dont want to play any of my steam games i have added launchbox to my steam big picture so i can still boot it up and navigate all my old school/emulated games via a controller. I really do like the way launchbox is going, out of all the "frontends" i have tried its the easiest to add artwork and game descriptions and what not, like 90% of my games automatically loaded there own artwork and descriptions, now that would have taken me so friggin long to manually do it myself. Once Launchbox/Bigbox becomes more visually appealing to me it will definitely be my main frontend. -
Jason Carr said If you'd rather not upload it, you can email it to jasondavidcarr at gmail dot com. That way I can look to see what's wrong and get it fixed. Thanks @Mute64.
Yup, i will upload it. Next time it happens. Probably will tonight. -
Just updated to the latest Launchbox beta, unfortunately im now getting the error " your Launchbox. Xml file was somehow corrupted. Unexpected error of file while passing has occurred. Line 86092 position 9." So i have to use my backup xml file to boot up launchbox.

bd000 said Great news! I will have take a closer look at this. Thanks @Mute64
Yea just make sure you follow all the steps correctly, from memory it is a bit of an effort to get it setup. -
bd000 said Doesn't this only work with wired controllers?

Mine was a silverstar. .... a atari 2600 clone with 64 built in games... i think it was only released in NZ and is a very rare system, even trying to google it is hard. Lol

It completely slipped my mind to try this chatpad driver out this weeknd. Came across this write up on the driver and according to the comments it may not work on win 8.1 :( http://www.videogameperfection.com/2013/11/28/xbox-360-chatpad-and/

Cheers, at the moment i have just disabled the Autohotkey feature and i am just using a xpadder profile to close games/emulators, i still use select+start for the xbox controller and i use start+L for the n64, oh and also select+LB for closing epsxe as it needs to be closed via escape instead of alt f4. Did plenty of testing in the weekend and have plenty of tweaking to go to make it more user friendly so ppl can just turn on the pc and play.
-
So i use my Xbox360 controller for most of my games but for the n64 i use a n64 controller which is classified as a generic usb Joystick on the pc, i noticed launchbox only accepts inputs from one controller which is fine but AutoHotKey feature accepts inputs from multiple controllers so when im playing n64 games the button A and Z closes the game :( very anoying. If i could Just have one Master controller like the x360 controller to navigate LaunchBox and close games would be good.
-
Yea using the escape key for epsxe is much better than alt f4, i may need to set up a temporary xpadder profile to exit epsxe until this issue has been resolved.

Not sure how many people have used thus driver or even herd of it but from memory it was dam handy last time i used it and is a great addition to the common x360 controller. It adds support for the chatpad that you can use on your x360 controller, once i get home i am going to dig out this chatpad attachment and test out how usable/handy it is for this frontend and emulators... Source? :https://code.google.com/p/chatpad-super-driver/downloads/list Will check to see if that is the correct source when i get home. :) Here's a picture of the chatpad:https://content.ebgames.com.au/website/images/detail/151119_detail.jpg

Sweet, good too know. I would have probably found a solution when i got home from work but its good to know what i need to look for. It all seams pretty simple to setup, launchbox has to be one of the best/simplest frontends i have used, deffently worth the 10bucs and more.
-
Sweet thank you for the quick response, i will be beta testing my setup this weekend with my flatmate so i can write down some notes/thoughts. I have yet to try Big Box but it sure does look nice. I will download the beta after work and check it out over the weekend. I can probably find this out my self when i get get home from work, but is there a way to use multiple emulators for one console. .. for instance i prefer to use 1964 for playing Perfectdark and Goldeneye/Mods and most other games i use PJ64. Also when i normally run Goldeneye/Perfectdark with 1964 i also use the "frowned upon" mouse injector that keeps PD running at a constant 60fps but it neefs to be launched after the emulator 1964 has been opened. .... now i did have a .bat file setup todo this for when i was using steam as my front-end, would i also be able todo this with LaunchBox?
-
So some of you may allready know of this issue but when closing epsxe down with alt f4 or select start on x360 controller it closes the game down but the process still runs in the background. .. and you can still hear the game music.. anyfix for this??

Ok so im very new to launch box, just downloaded the premium version last night and i am setting everything up at the moment. One cool feature i noticed was "select random game" this is great because i have so many dam games :) . Now when i have finished putting everything together for launchbox/big box my build is going to be for the lounge so i would like to have full controller support and selecting a random game is one of the features i really like but i see no way of selecting this with out a mouse. Would it be possible to map it to the controller or make a button that you can select ?
