    Resolved - Is a movie database possible? - Informational

    in Features

    Posted

    The games database is a fantastic thing to have, but given the nature of Launchbox and how easy it is to get it to launch a player and watch any movie, would a movie database be possible? Or maybe a connection to The Open Movie Database API? Seems a bit silly, since Launchbox is mainly a game-focused launcher, but I want to know if there's any chance of putting movies into the mix.

    [OUTDATED] MS-DOS BigBox Theme

    View File

    This is a simple MS-DOS based theme for BigBox. After the new release of Launchbox on MS-DOS, I realized "Wow... This simplicity just feels so much better!" So I went ahead and started making this. It is my very first Bigbox theme, so chances are there will be stuff that's not correct. If so, please comment so I can try and fix it. The design is based on (As in pretty much ripped off) Launchbox for MS-DOS.

    This theme is meant to be used with the view "Text list with details" for both Platforms and Games. Do away with all those clunky boxes, videos and logos, and just enjoy the simplicity the good old days.

    NOTE: Install the font included with the theme! Perfect DOS VGA 437

    NOTE2: Goes best with my sound pack here:

    Hey all, I just put out version 1.1 already lol. I added a bunch of features (and one fix) this past weekend and things seem to be working well enough. Here's the change log:

    - New "Move to Top" and "Move to Bottom" options are available under the Edit menu

    - New "Insert Separator" option available under the Edit menu

    - Each application can now have a separate set of commands for configuring the application

    - New explicit "Run Selected" and "Configure Selected" options are available under the File menu

    - New "Browse and Run" option is available under the File menu

    - New "Lock" option is available under the File menu to help prevent accidental changes

    - Changed the batch file process to better support DOSBox and older versions of MS-DOS

    I updated the download link in the main post, and here it is again: http://bit.ly/LBXDOS11

    Happy MS-DOS. :)

    Good stuff right here. Thanks. :)

    As for me. Given that my country's situation is pretty bad, and companies are not giving me the chance to purchase in my currency or through proper exchange, I simply "acquire" my games in any way I see fit. Some times, if I get some Paypal pocket money through an online job, I buy a bundle or something if I'm interested. However, as I do not have any options, I have to conclude that I'm not a target market, therefore my purchases are irrelevant.

    This is the error I get, even though debug mode is NOT enabled at all and I have the necessary permissions.

    [Alpha] Batch adding Windows games as "roms"

    in Features

    Posted

    Rehab said Hi, I currently use "vanilla" LB already to use PC games as "roms". I created a folder on my harddrive, e.g. "C:\game shortcuts". Then I added this folder as a "send to"-folder so it's easier for me to add shortcuts to it (although not required). Then I just add every PC game shortcut to it and use this folder as roms folder in LB. Then you can just use Windows' Explorer.exe (generally C:\windows\explorer.exe) as emulator.
    Quite ridiculous how I didn't think of that. :P

    [Alpha] Batch adding Windows games as "roms"

    Don't know if it is the right section for this but I want to contribute with a little workaround for not being able to add portable games or a bunch of non-steam games in one go. What I did was make a small console application in C# that will essentially enable you to launch any app through the console, I put it on my desktop and pointed it to the .lnk file with LaunchBox. So essentially, you can just grab all your shortcuts, put them in a folder along with my app, add the shortcut files as ROMS in Launchbox and use softrun as the "emulator". Seems a bit messy but I think it's the best way to import all your non-steam games without having to sift through a bunch of unrelated .exe files for the time being. This was literally a 5 minute effort, so if there are any issues, please let me know. Laugh
