  1. Running Launchbox and BigBox with a PC here that's about 4 years old, hardly what anyone would call "NASA" technology, and they both run fine with little to no sluggishness. Honestly though, I do think EmulationStation (in its latest form) does run a bit more snappy and if I was using an older PC I'd probably use that more often. I used Hyperspin for about 4-5 years and found it pretty annoying to set up, with very little reward in the end. Also, Hyperspin's speed is not exactly a game-changer for me. Having said that though, the more options there are among all of the emulator frontends, the more of a win-win situation it is for everyone. I'll certainly be checking out this 2.0 release whenever it happens to be released.
  2. Doubtful. It's funny how Hyperspin fans sh** all over Launchbox boasting about a program that is very much obsolete and light years behind. I'd be really surprised if this new "Hyperspin 2" is anything groundbreaking, and is anything more than the same exact frontend re-written with a slightly more modern code. However, I hope I'm wrong about that because it's certainly nice to have some competition.
  3. Haven't they been saying that for about 7 or 8 years? Hope to be proven wrong by that but I wouldn't hold my breath or anything
  4. That would probably work but then again, I'm not really all that familiar with scripts. You could always try that approach and see what happens.
  5. This works for me. With AppleWin, put the following code in the "Running Script" (under "Options", "Edit Emulator") and you should be able to use the esc key to exit out of a game ; This section closes AppleWin when pressing Escape $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} }
  6. This is a really useful plugin! Thanks a lot for sharing!
  7. Okay, great. I found it now
  8. @y2guru is this update still available for a 1 time purchase?
  9. Ahh, okay. So basically, it can't really be used while playing a game, at least not yet. Very nice effort though!
  10. @Orionsangel more excellent work and thanks for sharing these! Just out of curiosity though, how were you able to use a bezel with PSVita? As far as I know there's no Vita core for Retroarch
  11. Have to agree with this. Very nicely made, with the exception of the copyright. Possible wrong font?
  12. Thanks a lot for the tip! What I'm trying to achieve, however, is the original platform view. Update: Good news! I just used a PlatformFiltersDetailsView file from another theme and was able to get it looking the way I prefer now.
  13. @faeran Excellent job! However, is there any way you could put the platform view back in with some limitations? The "Focusborg wants you to play some games" is amusing but gets old very fast
  14. Great work! You're definitely right, that the previously available GBA 3D boxes were okay for their time but looked sort of artificial and not authentic at all. Thanks a lot for sharing these!
  15. Was curious about this as well, since I remember having the same issue a while back. Can't give any specific link of course, but if you do a search for "Pitfall (classic fix) 5200" that one should work with the Retroarch a5200 core.
  16. Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long for Nintendo to go after Ryujinx after what they pulled off earlier this year with Yuzu. And while this recent news isn't surprising at all, it's definitely very disappointing and another huge loss for the emulation community. Lately, Nintendo is on a roll, in a very unpleasant way too.
  17. Great work! Thanks a lot for sharing these
  18. Yep, got it earlier today. Thanks a lot!
  19. Thanks a lot for the recent update @faeran Is there any way to have less blur on the tv screen/screenshot? Update: Never mind! I found it Changed the following code: <BlurEffect Radius="05" /> Thanks again!
  20. Great to hear this! Just purchased
  21. @AstroBob, thanks a lot for posting the answers and appreciate all of the information. Just wondering, what happened with the LaunchBox giveaway drawing? On the website, it says that it's happening between Sep 3 and Sep 6 yet I haven't seen anything posted or mentioned anywhere
  22. For me, it's the Hot Shots Golf (also known as "Everybody's Golf") collection, available on most of the Playstation platforms
  23. @AstroBob, thanks a lot for the quick and detailed reply. Here's my question, below: My question for the LaunchBox team is regarding the overall visual appearance and interface of both programs, LaunchBox and BigBox. Are there any plans to update the existing "Default" themes and appearance or provide some new (official) themes in the near future? Of course this is a very subjective point of view, but the current appearance is starting to look a bit outdated. Also, I can imagine the suggestion of making/customizing "one's own theme" isn't really appealing to the typical LaunchBox user for a variety of reasons. Having something new and 'fresh' to look at with both LaunchBox and BigBox would inject some new life into these (already) fantastic programs.
  24. Happy to chime in with my top 5 games of all time, in a (sort of) chronological order: Mike Tyson's Punch Out / Nintendo NES (Incredibly addictive and wildly fun gameplay) Lakers vs. Celtics / Sega Genesis (First basketball game I ever fell in love with) Street Fighter 2 Turbo / Super Nintendo SNES (A fantastic port of the amazing arcade game) Gran Turismo 3 / Sony Playstation 2 (My all-time favorite racing game, but I love the whole GT series) Super Mario Odyssey / Nintendo Switch (All of the 'Mario' games are fantastic, but this one brought me back to console gaming
  25. Thanks a lot for the info and update on the upcoming LaunchBox celebration. Very much looking forward to it! Between now and August 29th, you can post a question on this topic below (Based on the quote above) Just wondering, do we post any questions here, in this thread?
