About 2 years too late on this post, but I just added this one to LaunchBox and it looks pretty fun. By any chance, do you know of any scripts do make it full screen or to automatically start the "CLOAD" command for tapes?

Due to time differences, I'm almost never able to watch livestreams, so I voted for uploading straight to YouTube. Looking forward to what's coming up next!

I'd be willing to help out and test. However, my system is very similar to the one you mentioned, with an i7 4790s, 16gb ram and 750gtx

Okay, thanks again for the reply! Sorry, I had a hard time editing my original post to remove images but now I've got that problem solved? I think this would be a good fix/feature to add in as I've seen it mentioned before by other users in the past but no real answer or solution was given.

Jason, thanks for the quick answer. However, that doesn't seem to work. I unchecked all boxes in the background image priorities and it still shows the platform (system) fanart. For example, this is what I'm aiming for: But this is what happens every time I choose a game on the list, as shown in the example:

Not trying to bring up an old topic or anything, but the original question wasn't really answered here (and a "data folder" fix was suggested instead) and I've been wondering about this for a long time as well. Is there a way to turn off the fanart and other images from showing in the background of LaunchBox? For instance, if you use the LBPlex theme, there's no problem but with all of the other themes, my platform fanart always pops up in the background. @Jason Carr has this fix/feature been requested before?

Everything you mentioned works great with Retroarch, using the following cores MSX/MSX2 - bluemsx_libretro PC Engine - mednafen_pce_fast_libretro Neo Geo - fbneo_libretro (or you can use MAME) Atari 2600 - stella_libretro

Do you mean Atmosphere? As far as I know, Adrenaline is for PSVita

What a bummer, but certainly understandable. While I appreciate the recommended app as a replacement, at this point I'm not sure if I want to invest in Reset Collection, given the circumstances that frontends will not be able to run properly on future versions of Android.

Try using AppleWin https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin/releases It works great for me. Be sure to add the following to the default command-line parameters: -f -d1

Yep, I guess you're right. It was just some weird name issue on my end, since my other launchbox install was in a different, yet similar named folder. Thanks again!

No worries. What I meant is that the main folder for all of the contents, including the programs LaunchBox/BigBox must be named "C64 Dreams" or it won't work. I've tested this a few different ways last night. Certainly not a deal-breaker, but if anyone tries to change the name of the folder which contains all of the files, LaunchBox will not start up, so just a heads-up that and something you might want to include that in the readme/instructions. Also, I found a game listed in LaunchBox which loads up an incorrect title. The 1984 title "Summer Games" when selected, loads up the 1988 title "The Games". Is there any way I can manually fix this?

I figured it out. I had not unzipped the contents with its original main folder "C64 Dreams" which caused the problem. Perhaps it won't work without that original folder. Anyways, problem solved!

Actually, it's the latter. I'll try rebooting and see if that helps

@Zombeaver not sure what i'm doing wrong, but I did a fresh install with this and I can't get past the launchbox "initializing" prompt. Did I miss a step somewhere?

@Zombeaver fantastic work once again! thank you very much for the latest update!

Unfortunately you won't get most of the modern (post 2000) systems' games to run with those PC specs. Based on my own personal experience, even with my i7, 16gb ram, Nvidia 750GTX, it's barely able to play PS3 games and I get mixed results with Wii U and 3DS. Granted, these emulators have come a very long way and are getting better very quickly, but they are meant to be played with a "gamer" PC more than anything else. Although there are a few emulators out there which are very well optimized for even the slower/older computers people may be using, including redream, ppsspp, and dolphin. If I were you, I'd wait another year or so to upgrade properly, until these emulators "mature" a bit and get the bugs worked out, especially the xbox and xbox 360 ones.

Okay, that's what I thought. It's amazing what you can hear when you watch a youtube video with earphones on!

Really like the updates and fixes. The "fake rom list" feature seems pretty interesting. It sounds like you have the washing machine running in the background in this video??

Sure, have fun!
