@faeran The issues with hybrid view 2,3 and 4 being visible is on a fresh install and the default theme so I don't know what to tell ya on that one, I'll have time next week to test further.

Initial testing of the Hybrid view on a fresh install on Windows 11 24H2. 1) PlatformHybrid 2-4 freeze Bigbox as soon as you get to the Platform view. 2) PlatformHybrid1 has an issue where if you press a direction button on the controller under certain circumstances if completely freezes/lock all further controller inputs. Specifically this view is vertical so if you press left/right it stops responding to controller input. A peculiarity of this issue is that keyboard controls remain usable even after the controller stops responding. These issues are reproducible from what I can see. Will report more if I find more. Also I'm super glad to get this new integrated view, I've been looking forward to it since the live stream.

I finally got some time to test things on beta3. I'm not sure if this is actually beta3 related but I have noticed that on a fresh install with beta3 my PS3 games (installed in RPCS3) are not auto populating. Other than that I've had good success so far. EDIT: Nvm about the PS3 issue, was a user error. beta3 seems to be working fine for me.

So, not sure about anyone else but I consider it a major downgrade to have to install a third-party codec pack that contains who-knows-what in it just to keep using BigBox with videos. Is that actually going to be necessary? Also I'm sure this is nothing new to the team but what about this: https://github.com/videolan/libvlcsharp. It does say it supports wpf forms but I know all of nothing of programming and I'm sure it's more complicated than a simple google search, so feel free to ignore me. EDIT: I just went back to 13.20 and confirmed that for me VLC is working perfectly fine with no performance issues, so the perceived disturbance of a perfectly working system is pretty annoying IMO.

I could be very wrong here but to my knowledge the pcsx2 core in retroarch hasn't been kept up to date with the standalone version so it probably has a lot of missing features. I personally use pcsx2 standalone for this reason.

Just a thought but have you checked that the buttons all work on a switch? If not then it's the controller if so it's the adapter.

For those seeing what I've been calling the "deadly font lock" issue, I have it too and have had it for literal years. I just figured it was something on my system trying to scan for viruses or something but now that I've seen someone else have it too I thought I'd mention it as it seems it isn't solely a local issue.

Ryujinx doesn't need any special parameters as long as you configure the emu to start in fullscreen. RPCS3 has settings pre-populated when you add it to LB. Cemu also has settings pre-populated when you add the emu to LB. If you already have the emulators setup in LB and the launch settings aren't there you can just remove the emu from LB and re-add it, just be sure to select the emu from the dropdown before adding the exe and it will auto-populate the launch settings and platforms.

Does the game load in Retroarch without launching through Launchbox? If no then the problem is either the game archive or dosbox pure, if yes then the problem is likely the emulator settings in launchbox. When I set my dos games up with Dosbox Pure they all worked without issue so not sure how else to help, hopefully I didn't just repeat what everyone else said, good luck.

If I'm ever in a position to upgrade hardware and unsure of what is compatible with my current stuff I use PC Part Picker, with it you could enter your current motherboard and ram and it will filter only parts that are compatible. Just select the motherboard and ram you already have and when you select your cpu it will auto filter compatible parts based on what you already have in the list.

If you're familiar with something like Retropie, which has specific paths that it wants files in, this isn't like that. Your games and emulators can be anywhere you want, you just need to setup the paths in the relevant sections for it to work. I recommend watching the guides on the tutorials playlist on the official Youtube channel: LaunchBox/BigBox Tutorials
