    Beta 4 is now out with the following changes:

    • New Premium Feature: Added a Documents badge for games with manuals and other documents
    • New Feature: MAME can now be automatically downloaded (or updated) and installed via the MAME Full Set Importer. This makes it super easy to get up and playing just by running the MAME Arcade Full Set Wizard and nothing else.
    • New Feature: Game Details in LaunchBox has been overhauled with a new, modern look
    • New Feature: Added new controls and bindings for use inside of LaunchBox Game Details (for theme devs)

     

    For any prospective LaunchBox theme devs, the new view should show off some new functions that you can use in your own themes. Most notably, we added a Media Carousel Control, and an Achievements summary panel.

    Tagging previous LaunchBox theme devs, just in case you want to check it out:

    Wow! The new screenshots tab in the details-area looks really nice! I only wish that this could be applied to other themes, as I use LBPlex most of the time and I noticed this update only applied to the default theme?

    I spoke with Tahlreth, the AetherSX2 developer tonight. I was as careful and polite as I could have possibly been, but unfortunately he has no interest in supporting frontends or allowing frontends to launch games in AetherSX2. He ended the conversation with "I might just make the activities private next update", suggesting that he is going to completely disable any chance of frontends launching games at all.

    So unfortunately that is bad news, but it is his choice if he does not want frontends to be able to launch games in AetherSX2. From what I can tell, his reasoning is that he wants users to use his user interface only, and does not want it to be hidden or bypassed by a frontend.

    So, for now, we have to give up on supporting AetherSX2. :(

    Wow, what a bummer. It's certainly his prerogative if he wants to go that route and I'm sure that's fine with the majority of the public. But in the long run it would certainly be nice if he allowed the *option* to those who'd rather use their own frontend such as LaunchBox. While the UI in AetherSX2 is decent enough, it's nothing special to look at and I'd much rather launch games through one UI instead of having to open separate programs each time. Anyways, Jason thanks a lot for the update and it was certainly worth the effort.

    Don't worry . It is a fixable problem and there are three front end apps that fixed it. You need to wait for update of launch box to make it use the scoped storage.

    @Goodmango I've noticed that you mentioned "three frontend apps" here and in another post that can handle AetherSX2. Which particular apps are you referring to?

  4. Before anyone would be able to help, we'd need some more information. First of all, are you using CXBX or Xemu to play your Xbox games? Also, are you able to get the games to run on their own, using the emulator by itself (without LaunchBox)? If not, I'd highly recommend checking out one of the xbox tutorials here or on youtube, as that helped me out when I was having troubles. Also, both emulators (CXBX and Xemu) require bios files in their respective folders, so you want to make sure you have all the necessary files with their emulator(s). 

    Here's the tutorial for Xemu if you're interested in checking it out:

    Oops! Just noticed that you posted this in in the "Android" forum. I'm guessing that either you posted this in the wrong forum, or there's an Xbox emulator for android out there in the wild that I haven't heard about yet?

    Does anyone know the name of this Startup Video that ETA PRIME is using in his video?

    It's possible that ETA Prime found this on another website, or made his own (custom) startup video. I was trying to find this, myself, in the downloads area but wasn't able to find anything that resembled it. But if you ever find it, let me know, because it's definitely a very nice looking startup video.

  6. Has your 8TB system been put together from scratch by yourself? Or did you acquire your drive with a bunch of emulators and roms already installed from another source? If it's the 2nd one I mentioned, you're likely in for a world of problems with your build. If it's the 1st choice, you may need to try a different theme which uses less ram, cpu, etc. Some themes in BigBox will generally lag like that in older, slower computers.

    I upgraded to 12.5 but can't see the play time tracker, do you have to activate it? looked all through the menus, nothing?

    It might depend on which theme you're using. For instance, while using the LBPlex theme for Launchbox, I didn't see that feature there. But when I switched to the default theme, the play counts were there, and I didn't have to do anything to activate it. I'm not sure about BigBox, but this could also be theme-dependent as well.

    Having some trouble with Naomi. I'm using the Flycast core in Retoarch. Opening Retroarch manually and launching Naomi roms works no problem, but whenever I try to open a Naomi rom directly from Launchbox or Big Box, nothing happens. When editing the Retroarch emulator in "Manage Emulators", I've already set the associated platform for Sega Naomi to the Flycast core. 

    Any ideas? Can't figure out why Naomi is working perfectly from Retroarch itself but won't boot in LB/BB.

    Thanks

    Just tested this out with the same configuration, using the flycast core and had no problems. My only guess is that you might have checked "Extract rom archives before running"? If so, you'll need to turn that option off for Naomi and other similar arcade games

  9. This is a very simple but extremely nice theme! However, the boxes which are square (gba, nds, playstation, etc.) along with the wide rectangular boxes (snes, n64) look rather strange since they're using the wrong dimensions. Is there any way this could be fixed, or possibly make 3 versions: regular (horizontal), vertical (snes, n64) and square (gba, nds) and then assign a particular theme to each platform.

    Why did you have to change the ame of mame/  was it because your system was set to mame64 or that the leaderboards required it to be named mame64?

     

    I'm not sure, but when I renamed it to "mame" the leaderboards also worked. Previously, I was using an entirely different name, like "mame0.135". So, I'm guessing it has to be named either "mame" or "mame64" to function properly

  11. Not sure if this has been mentioned but I've noticed that lately the mame-arcade leaderboards aren't showing up anywhere in LaunchBox. Previously, I could see them in the details (right side) bar and also when right-clicking on a particular Mame game. But I've tried the default theme (and a few others) and they're nowhere to be found.

    Update: Oops! I found the problem. When I renamed the "mame.exe" to "mame64.exe" the problem was solved :)

    Hi everyone,

    12.2 Beta 1 is now out with the following changes:

    • New Feature: RetroArch can now be automatically downloaded and installed via the ROM import processes (if it's not installed already); this makes it super easy to get up and playing just by running the ROM import wizard and doing literally nothing else
    • New Feature: RetroArch management options are now available under Tools > Manage > RetroArch; there are options to automatically update, update cores, and install or reinstall
    • Improvement: The Arrange By menu can now be used in ascending or descending order
    • Improvement: The menus in LaunchBox have been organized for easier navigation
    • Fixed: Correcting a rare error when saving an emulator without a command line (introduced in 12.0)
    • Fixed: In Big Box, the Launch With option in Game Details no longer shows for games that don't use an emulator
    • Fixed: Incorrect download count when processing multiple EmuMovie queues
    • Fixed: FlowVideo control was not always updating the HasVideo binding correctly
    • Fixed: Add/Edit Emulator will now once again let you add two different cores for the same platform when editing RetroArch

     

    Thanks for helping beta test LaunchBox.

    Wow, the tools menu looks much better! It was pretty cluttered before and now it's much more streamlined and well organized. Probably will take me a while to get used to but definitely worth it.

    Thanks for posting the files but when I load it with the latest Theme Editor, there are a lot of obsolete elements. Is there a specific version of the theme editor that needs to be used?

    No problem! I was able to get that one to work with COMMUNITY Theme Creator 1.0.8.99, which I think was the last version released before the latest update
