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

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

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

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

No worries! Good luck and enjoy the new pause feature?

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.).

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

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?

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

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

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

No worries! Glad you got it figured out and have fun!

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

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

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

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

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

@Jason Carr thanks a lot for the info on the latest updates and the recent addition of the pause screens has made Launchbox/Bigbox even better, although it's already been pretty darn good for a long, long while now Really looking forward to the custom default images, as it's been on my personal request list for quite some time. Just wondering (and hoping), will this apply to boxart also?

Interesting. However, it doesn't seem to offer much in terms of emulation, and even if they do, I think they're pretty late to the game and nothing too ground-breaking besides a SNS-like service bundled in with the program to interact with other gamers, etc. Besides, a little competition is never a bad thing ?

Great! YouTube would probably be the best way, and you'd obviously be able to reach a very big audience at the same time

As someone who's been keeping a close eye on this project, sounds like a good idea. But if I'm not able to tune in while it's on live, is it possible to leave comments a little later?

No problem! Here's a slightly updated version AppleWin (update) - pause seems to be working now when turning off "force" Bliss - Intellivision - Startup Working - Fade Working weird/wonky screen behavivor while going in and out of pause screen, much smoother with "force" turned off Punes - Nintendo NES - Startup Working - Fade Working (with "force" on or off) Kat5200 - Atari 5200 - Startup Working - Fade Working (with "force" on or off) WinVice - Commodore Computers - Startup Working - Fade Working (with "force" on or off) Stella - Atari 2600 - Startup Working - Fade Working (with "force" on or off) Reicast - Sega Dreamcast - Startup Working - Fade Working (with "force" on or off) MelonDS - Nintendo DS - Startup Working - Fade Working (with "force" on or off) Desmume - Nintendo DS - Startup Working - Fade Working (with "force" on or off) mGBA - Gameboy Advance - Startup Working - Fade Working (only with "force" on)
