If the joystick combo buttons feature is only an AHK script, is there anyway I could get some code for that? Also, I am curious if and how this program works with the following plugin:

I would appreciate that option. Thank you for all the hard work you've done with this application!

Found this thread (and a few similar ones) while searching for the same thing. Are there any plans for the sync collection to be a true sync instead of a one way addition? I recently purged a lot of games and ended up using an AutoHotKey script to remove all games one by one but this is not something I would want to do again.

While I wish I could move it to my larger HDD, I have had it there before and the lag on displaying cover art in Big Box was intense. Having it on the SSD makes it a much more visually appealing experience.

I know the Clean Up function only mentions Images but I am curious as to how LaunchBox handles other obsolete metadata and items. Are Manuals, VIdeos, etc. left behind when a ROM gets deleted? If yes, then this may be starting to eat up some of my ever shrinking SSD space! I would really not like to have to manually remove all associated files when removing a ROM but I suppose that is an option. Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks for all your hard work! This application has come a long way in the short time I've been using it!

Thanks Kriven for uploading your theme. I ended up changing a lot of your edits but just seeing a comparison between the original theme files and your files helped me understand what to mess with.

I am currently trying to get this to work but the problem is when I enable platform videos it shows videos for platforms with videos and leaves all others as blank backgrounds. I would like them to show fan art instead of nothing which is what is shown if I have platform videos disabled. Is there an option I am missing? Nevermind I found a fix, not sure if it's the best way but it works. I put the images I wanted as fan art in each platforms "Device" image folder and now they are showing up.

Is there anyone to filter games based on if they have multiplayer play per platform instead of all the games at once? For example, I want to look at all SNES games that have multiplayer and not see all multiplayer games in general. If this is possible, how can it be done in BigBox?

Glad to help!

You can make a playlist of your favorite games, games that came out in a certain year, games of a series, or really whatever you can come up with. I should add these have the option of showing up as their own Platform so they can be separate (and thus easier/quicker to find) from other consoles in BigBox, if you use that.

Nintendo Classic Editions Banner and Clear Logo View File In the spirit of the newly announced Super NES Classic Edition, I decided to make two playlists for each of these Classic Edition releases since the actual console will inevitably be impossible to obtain. I made a custom banner for each playlist in the same style of the beautiful @reignstumble artwork pack. Enjoy and please share any improvements!

I have just spent a longer time than I expected creating a custom playlist. First, searching for the game, then right clicking it then Add to Playlist, waiting for the pop-up and hitting ok, rinse and repeat. I apologize in advance if there is an easier way to do this but I was just following the existing tutorial for doing this ( I think a drag and drop system would be a lot easier. I would even be happy with avoiding the confirmation pop-up to shave a few seconds off this process. May be my computer is getting a little long in the tooth but this process is very slow for me. Any inputs would be appreciated.

Thanks for the replies! I will be checking this out later this evening.

Goal: I want to launch AutoHideMouseCursor_x64.exe alongside LaunchBox and close it when LaunchBox closes. Why? CEMU Emulator does not have a feature that hides the mouse automatically and it really bugs me when gaming on my couch. Yes I could just keep my HTPC Keyboard/Mouse nearby but why would I want to when there is a foolproof software solution? What I have come up with so far: I have a batch script (Launcher.bat) with the following text: @ECHO off start AutoHideMouseCursor_x64.exe LaunchBox.exe TASKKILL /F /IM AutoHideMouseCursor_x64.exe This solution works but it leaves an ugly Command Prompt window open in the background so after scouring the internet I have cobbled up this second script (Launcher.vbs) which just launches the batch in the background: Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell" ) WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Games\LaunchBox\Launcher.bat" & Chr(34), 0 Set WshShell = Nothing TLDR: Is there a cleaner, simpler solution to launch and close two programs together?

That fix seemed to work the second time I tried it but not the first. May just be an intermittent issue altogether.

Well it's not game breaking just a slight annoyance, thanks for looking into it at least! Since we are somewhat on the topic, I am curious, is there someway to default my import settings to check/uncheck certain fields? If not, is this a feature planned for the future?

I seem to have found what makes this problem intermittent. If I power on the PC and only login via Remote Desktop, I get no checkboxes. If I power on the PC and login locally and then later on login via Remote Desktop, I have checkboxes displaying in Remote Desktop.

I have been using Windows Remote Desktop to remote into my HTPC and handle LaunchBox management tasks. I seem to be having an issue where most of the time the checkboxes are not showing up where they are supposed to. I'm not sure if this is a fault of the LaunchBox software or the RDP. I have seen them on occasion so it seems to be intermittent in either case. Picture attached for example

I had not thought about the situation you mentioned, thank you for the reply!

Hello, I am noticing that the Games Folder Path as seen in the Manage Platforms dialog is showing as the Games path in the LaunchBox base directory instead of where my ROMs were imported and the option "Use the files in their current location" was selected. Is this intentional? This seems to be affecting my Scan for Added/Removed ROMs functionality unless I manually change all the Game Folder paths. Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thank you for all you do, this application is truly amazing and really brings the living room together!

Premium LaunchBox would be a great addition to my HTPC! Happy Holidays to all!
