If someone wanted to use an AMD card then by all means go right ahead and use it but just know ahead of time that emulators (or games) using OpenGL is more likely to run into issues because of their GL drivers which are proven to be garbage and prone to bugs. Not biased opinion at all, just pure fact. Modern PC games or emulators using Direct X or Vulkan though are perfectly fine using AMD because the drivers for those APIs are good.

Bounty: BigBox full console-like theme
Lordmonkus replied to alfredolvera's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
There is a grid view already, theme makers just need to theme that view to make it better. -
Nvidia all the way, AMD cards have garbage OpenGL drivers which potentially causes bugs and performance problems and a lot of emulators use OpenGL.
-
That's what the BitBucket page is for, submit feature requests and look for ones that have been suggested already and vote for the ones they like. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues?status=new&status=open&page=1

How easy is it to move LaunchBox\Big Box between systems?

Dragging and dropping works fine for me using the latest beta and has never been a problem with any build for me.

Yeah try an official build and see if that works for you, your system should be compatible with it. I thought maybe you were using some sort of onboard graphics chip or something that might have issues. -
If it's crashing then it's most likely a video driver issue, possibly your video card or chipset doesn't support it.

This is all done in the emulator. Normally what happens is the emulator creates an sram save file when you save the game using the in game save like on real hardware. There are also save states and the way you do this is dependent upon how the emulator does it. Retroarch does allow for mapping a save state button combo or you can use the Quick Menu to manage your save states. Retroarch has the best save state management, other emulators are hit and miss.
-
It uses the latest Mame database and will update every month so yeah if your rom set is older you will get games that are not in your set. With an older rom set you are better off using the old import method.
-
Have you run Mame to generate files ? Run the Mame executable with the command line parameter -cc mame64.exe -cc
-
It's hard coded, I tried to change it when I made my LBN theme Bad Old Monkey. I'll tag @Jason Carr so he might answer it for you with a better answer than I am able to provide, I just remember there was a problem before of it breaking and causing a major issue so it had to have a locked minimum.
-
That size has a hard coded minimum for a reason, I asked Jason about this before cause I wanted to make it smaller as well but it's set that way to prevent breakage.
-
No idea, I have never seen a Mame install not have those folders. Are you using a newer build or an old one ?
-
Awesome job, so glad we have this here, makes life with PCSX2 so much easier. -
Yes, Launchbox supports any emulator that supports launching games via command line where Lakka only supports libretro cores.
-
That is what I did with the Atari 2600 entry, it's a playlist of all the games in the Atari 2600 platform which is a work around for now but I do hope you can do it the way I was suggesting. It would look and function much better.
-
Ok well this thread is specifically for the new beta, not for feature requests so please don't clutter it up with this stuff. We have the BitBucket page for requesting features.
-
Is this a new feature request or something that is an issue with the current beta ?
-
Back up your Data folder, that is the most important along with your license file of course if you have a premium license.
-
My apologies I misread and had a brain fart, you can't simply transfer favorites but you can transfer playlists. Playlist files are located in the \Data\Playlists folder though.
-
@Jason Carr, not sure if this is planned or not but in case it isn't I hope it would be possible to display the list of games in the selected platform category along with the the sub folders at the top of the list with some sort of indicator showing they are sub folders. It shows like this in Launchbox mode but not in BigBox mode. Here is a screencap that hopefully shows exactly what I am talking about. Here it is in Launchbox mode for comparison.
-
Yeah, you should just be able to copy over playlist files and they will work, they are made to be shareable.
-
The emulator is the same, you can assign an emulator to more than 1 platform. Just the platform name or playlist name will be different.
-
It no longer exists on its own, it has been rolled into the Mame core now.
