  1. Just my 2 cents to add to this, for what it's worth, although 2 cents won't buy anything in today's economy With so many (millions) of Android phones and other devices out there, this is an extremely large and relatively (as of yet) untapped market for an emulators/games frontend like LaunchBox. And I think at this point, the pc version is more than mature enough to be put on the back-burner for a short while as the Android version becomes developed. Certainly there are already frontends out there for Android, but nothing which really captures the hearts and imaginations of most gamers and nothing that made me want to say, "wow, what a great app!" while trying it out. Anyways, keep up with the good work as always and looking forward to seeing what future developments arise in the near future
  2. To follow up with what Suhrvivor just mentioned, Redream is your best choice as it emulates about 85% of the Dreamcast library almost flawlessly even on older, slower pc systems. For the other 15% I use the reicast/flycast cores in Retroarch. Nulldc and Demul are good too although a bit more of a hassle to set up
  3. Bally Astrocade does have a handful of missing boxes, while the Fairchild Channel F has a fair share of missing ones as they're both slightly obscure systems. A few more that could use default boxart are the Emerson Arcadia, Magnavox Odyssey 2 and RCA Studio II. Once again, really appreciate the effort and thanks a lot for sharing these!
  4. Was also wondering if you plan to make images for more systems? The ones for which artwork is rather hard to come by would be ideal, for example Fairchild Channel F, Bally Astrocade, Emerson Arcadia, Magnavox Odyssey 2, among others
  5. Very useful! And even more so, now that these images can be used as a 'default' box. Thank you very much
  6. Looking great! With a theme creator, I think a good majority of the HS users will switch over to BigBox, if they haven't already
  7. Try "cdimono1 -cdrm" in the default command-line parameters for mame. And I'd use the standalone version of mame, rather than the retroarch core of mame. It's a whole lot easier
  8. Same here. Among all of the controllers I've owned (and I've owned quite a few) the SF30 Pro is the best, and you can assign the Nintendo Switch buttons on it to things like "pause", "exit" and more
  9. What i've been hoping (and requesting) for a very long time ? @Jason Carrthank you very much for adding this much-requested feature! Really appreciate it
  10. Not really sure, but programs like retroarch and mame use various keyboard shortcuts within their respective programs, so there could always be conflicts with those two. For example, by default "p" also is a pause feature within retroarch. That's why I use "insert" as a shortcut since it's never used by any emulators, except maybe the computer ones (Commodore 64, Amstrad, etc.).
  11. Also, check that your emulators (pcsx2 and dolphin) are set up to use the pause feature. In the emulator options screen, it looks like this
  12. Do you have any other controller-related programs running, like joy2key for example? Those programs can cause conflicts as I've learned. Also, when I set "insert" as my pause key, it looks like this in the options setting. See the image below for reference, and hopefully it helps?
  13. Both, pcsx2 and dolphin, are working fine for me with the pause feature. My only guess is that you might have a conflict by assigning the letter "p" as it may be assigned within the emulator's program as well. I've assigned the "insert" key for my pause menu since I've never seen any other emulation-related programs use it for anything
  14. I have a very similar video card and PC setup, and with that in mind you'll also be able to run Dreamcast, Wii, PSP, Wii U, NDS, 3DS, and to some extent PS3
  15. Yes, if you have music (files) for any of the games in those folders, it will play the music for each. Also, with the "background" sub-folder, you can listen to any music which is placed there, while using BigBox
  16. No worries! Glad you got it figured out and have fun!
  17. Very colorful indeed! Great work once again Viking!
  18. Not sure if it's just me, but can't seem to find any artwork in the file. Or, did I miss something?
  19. It depends on which images you want, but make sure you have your corresponding images in the right folders. For example, screenshots would be in "launchbox\Images\Atari 2600\Screenshot - Gameplay" and boxart would be in "launchbox\Images\Atari 2600\Box - Front" for Atari 2600. To switch the type of images being shown (on the fly), you'll have to assign a keyboard or controller mapping, just as you did with the view. Again, you'll see this in the options screen, under "Keyboard Mappings" and "Controller" as shown below
  20. You have to change the view within that theme. You can do this in options - keyboard mappings, or options - controller, as shown below and I've used the 'tab' key to accomplish this
  21. Can't really help you find roms or anything of that nature, but the no-intro sets work best with most other emulators besides MAME. Try using Retroarch. It works with several consoles, handhelds, computers, and so on. For example, it has the ability to emulate the Atari 2600, Nintendo NES, Sony PlayStation, and many more. You can find it here: Retroarch
  22. Wow, another very nice looking theme! I'm not sure if it's just me, but it would probably look better without the controllers in the middle, to give it a little more clean/polished look

    HS/LB

    This topic/thread has reminded me once again why I gave up on HS years ago and inspired me to pay tribute to "The Late Show with David Letterman" Top 10 reasons to use HS in 2019: 10. Still in love with Windows XP 9. Living in a cave (a real one) 8. Haven't figured out how to adjust the monitor screen dimensions beyond 1024x768 7. Haven't checked any emulation-related news since 2007 6. Bought a crappy hard drive with HS built-in from someone named Chris 5. Have a fear of boxes and anything with the ability to launch 4. Never get tired of those bloated-looking graphics and seizure-inducing spinning wheel in glorious full screen 3. Want to get as much as possible out of that lifetime HS membership 2. Still enjoying the benefits of an overclocked AMD Athlon computer 1. Because life is all about being hyper and spinning in a frenzy In all seriousness, I did enjoy HS for a while and it certainly paved the way for bigger and much better things to come, such as LaunchBox/BigBox
