    What do y'all think about BigBox launching multiple games at the same time? Personally I don't see the reason in doing so; it might only be confusing especially if you intend BigBox to run in "kiosk" mode. Having multiple games running at the same time will also make coding the plugin more complicated. It's probably doable, but I think it'd be better to have the plugin block attempts to launch a second game when another is already running.

    Don't see the point in it honestly. 

    So if not doing that makes it easier for you then I vote not doing it. 

  2. FIXED - i remembered having seen it reported before.  LB didn't give me the next beta update message so i started up big box and it did.

     

    I get this error soon as lb starts and every time  a click with the mouse.

    cant accesses setting or even hit close window.

    Alright, beta 3 is out now with a fix for the updater. Sorry for the trouble there guys. Unfortunately, the updater will only be fixed for upgrading *beyond* beta 3, because it was the update process that needed fixed. So, this still means that you'll need to manually run LaunchBox\Updates\LaunchBox-8.6-beta-3-Setup.exe after LaunchBox closes out with an update. Then, going forward, it should work as usual.

    sorry for a dumb question ? but I've been reading this a million times but my brain isnt getting it.

    i just jumped from beta 1 to 6 does this effect me. i think not but just wanna be sure.

    You're correct that the latest modules and module changes have been done by the community but even in open source projects someone has to manage, test, and ultimately implement them. Emulator changes that break the modules are pretty infrequent but add that to the fact not all emulators play nice with fade/bezels and require special attention and spread that across a few hundred emulators which could change things at anytime, it adds up.

     

    The fact that LB is closed source and Jason is the sole developer means the troubleshooting, implementation, debugging, etc. is all on his shoulders and the community can't really help at all there. So add the initial implementation and testing of the new features and the emulator changes that will require attention to everything he already has to maintain, bug reports, and the never ending stream of new requests and tackling a bunch of RL features becomes a larger task than most people realize.

    True but i was thinking something like the add on system isn't monitored by Jason. This could work the same way? 

    But yah I see your point. 

  5. I know Jason has said in the past he didn't necessarily wanna takle everything Rocketlauncher launcher because it might be a lot maintenance and getting every emulator working. 

    But correct me if I'm wrong but RL isn't updated that regularly and I the newest scripts for new emulators has been made by the community. 

    On a personal note I'd love to see it implemented just because I can already imagine it being better.

    Well a rocketlauncher fade is a screen which shows what game is loading along with loading/unzipping progress bar, which closes out once the game is loaded. I assumed Game startup launch screen is the same thing. At the moment you can have the now loading box when you load a game, this will just be a full screen version of that, as far as i understand it. Of course i have been wrong many times though. ;) 

    Yah that is essentially what the Fade in and out feature is. Progress bar with some information like times played and such on top of a wallpaper. Sure then there's options for gif animations next to the loading bar and such.

    This might get included in the upcoming retro achievements integration improvements.

    Would be cool but wasn't this something Jason said probably couldn't be done since how achievement messages is done by Retroachievements. 

  9. @shro2016I dont know how i managed to miss this theme for so long its my new favorite absolutely beautiful.

    question i have been trying to add a background image/wallpaper to the wii u.

    That's an odd one. Do you run your LaunchBox installation on multiple machines and sync between them? There's a setting in Settings.xml called SideBarSize, if you make that smaller, that should resolve the issue, but I don't know how it would have gotten large in the first place. What is that value set to in the XML?

    happened again after updating to the latest beta. it jumped to 1375 in the xml.
