    Nex Machina - You NEED it !!

    in Games

    Posted

    If you don't have this game get it right now, it's on sale on Steam 60% off http://store.steampowered.com/app/404540/Nex_Machina/

    If you don't know what it is basically it's a Robotron 2084 / Smash TV style twin stick shooter but wound up to 11 and improved on the formula. The original creator of Robotron and Smash TV served as a creative consultant for this game and it really shows.

    This game may just be in my top 10 favourite games of all time and is most likely in my top 5 "arcade" games.

    Will I be able to control launchbox/bigbox using a Pandora's Box arcade controller?

    You can keep them zipped but if the naming of them has a lot of really weird extra stuff in them it can cause issues.

    For cart based systems we recommend No-Intro set roms, they are named with a sensible naming scheme, are most compatible and known to be good working roms. For CD based stuff we recommend Redump where possible.

    Now while we recommend those they aren't all that will work, those just help ensure compatibility and are easier to work with.

    Emulator Settings for All Platforms

    Most emulators use Escape as the default key to close out the emulator but of course some don't and Launchbox's Controller Automation feature lets you map a 2 button combo to replicate this Escape key press.

    a clean installation of Windows 10

    That seems like an abnormally high amount of CPU and Ram usage. I just loaded up BigBox with my Task Manager open on the other monitor to watch CPU and Memory usage of BigBox while I did things.

    My Ram usage stayed around the 750 meg range, it did fluctuate +/- 50 megs but never going over 800. My CPU usage stayed in the single digits unless changing themes, then it did go over 25% usage but not much over and only for a short period and then settled back down into the single digits again once the theme transition was finished doing its thing.

    Specs:

    Windows 10, fresh install several months ago
    AMD 8350 @ 4GHz, 8 cores
    16 Gigs ram
    Nvidia GTX 970
    Everything runs off of normal run of the mill mechanical drives other than some of my larger slow to load games, those are on an SSD.

    Retroarch setup

    The default command line will always be: 

    -L "cores\core_name.dll"

    and you can get the exact core name by looking in the \Retroarch\cores\ folder5a85c60c11e3e_2018-02-1512_40_00-cores.thumb.png.6779a62f891d5bc2ee5c6ba27a499067.pngSo for example if I wanted to change the Super Nintendo core in Launchbox  to use the SNes9x core I would edit the line to: 

    -L "cores\snes9x_libretro.dll"

    Make sure the L is capitalized and watch for spaces and quotes, little typos can totally mess it all up.
