I'm going to participate in the closed beta when that starts up and see how it is. I'm curious to know how easy it'll be to add emulators and such, but although I'm sure it will have some nice features, I don't expect that it will replace Launchbox for me.
-
Yes, Mayflash. I just plugged it in and booted up a couple of games and it actually does recognize the controller but with a pretty major problem, which is that the analog stick is really messed up. The analog controls are inverted no matter how I configure them and it seems to have issues with the range (Mario runs left but can only walk right, for instance). Edit: Actually, I just tried something else - only pushing the stick halfway instead of all the way - and that seems to get it working correctly. Pushing it all the way is what cause the problems...

I have an original N64 controller with a USB adapter. It's been a while since I tried but I couldn't get any emulator besides Project 64 to recognize it. Was very irritating.
-
Yeah, I think I've got somewhere between 600 and 700 C64 games set up on Launchbox, which I think might be the most of any platform I have. Either that or the Atari 800
-
Might as well bump this because the Steam Link is currently on sale for $2.50. I got mine yesterday and I've been making good progress getting Big Box and my various emulators to run through it. I read some mixed reviews because of inconsistent performance over wi-fi, but aside from some very rare hitches I've been happy with how smooth everything is playing so far.
-
I'm eager to see progress but I've also learned to be patient with emulator development, so I probably won't try it out until it's fairly mature. I really want to play my old Xbox games again. All the Sega games, Deathrow, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, NBA Inside Drive (don't laugh - this was a really good basketball game), etc.

What important systems should I add to LaunchBox?
roy1975 replied to Hunter_ARG's topic in Emulation
Essential 30 systems, not counting the ones you named? (1) Arcade, (2) Atari 2600, (3) Intellivision, (4) NES, (5) SNES, (6) Genesis/Mega Drive (plus 32X and Sega CD), (7) Playstation, (8) Atari 800, (9) Commodore 64, (10) Amiga, (11) MS-DOS, (12) Turbografx-16/PC Engine (plus CD), (13) NeoGeo, (14) Sega Master System, (15) N64, (16) Gameboy, (17) Gameboy Color, (18) Gameboy Advance, (19) Game Gear, (20) Atari Lynx, (21) MSX, (22) ColecoVision, (23) Atari 7800, (24) Apple II, (25) Odyssey 2, (26) BBC Micro, (27) Vectrex, (28) Sega SG-1000, (29) Sharp X68000, (30) PC-88/98 I guess it would be a slightly different/shorter list if count stuff like 32X and CD expansions as separate platforms, which might be a good idea. I was kind of cheating, there I would have listed the Atari Jaguar but I don't consider its emulation reliable enough. To my mind, though, this gives a pretty well-rounded perspective on video games and covers all the biggest platforms and many of the interesting also-rans. -
I think I've got it fixed. I just switched the output to ddraw and now it's working. Not sure why since I've used that setting for other games with no problem *shrug* Thanks for the help, though!
-
Yeah, that's not working...I'm just going to have to try uninstalling and reinstalling to see what happens...thanks anyway!
-
I seem to be having an issue of the game not recognizing my mouse? I get to the opening scene and the cursor just won't move. Not sure what, if anything, I've done wrong...
-
I'm mostly settled and I'm good just sticking with games I like on the major systems. I do still enjoy occasionally running across systems I'm not familiar with and snagging a few of what appear to be major highlights of the catalog. I've been looking into the BBC Micro and the Oric recently, for instance. I'm getting pretty close to being really done, though
-
Hmmm...The Last Ninja, Project Firestart, Supremacy? The other one looks very familiar but I can't place it...
-
Cyberstorm is a turn-based strategy spin-off of the Earthsiege games, although I don't recall it being released as freeware like those games were. Come to think of it, I never was able to get Earthsiege 2 to install properly...
-
Oh, yeah!
-
My dogs. We also have five cats, two of which are tuxedos like Zombeaver's.
-
If I could make some suggestions, in case they're not already on your list: Wheel of Time, Magic & Mayhem, Aliens vs. Predator 2, Star Trek: Elite Force...
-
Ha, I was fortunate enough to find a copy of Alien Legacy at a rural antique shop years ago. I need to get around to playing it because I love the Starflight games and it looks like a sequel/spiritual successor to those

For PC games from that troublesome mid/late-90s period, you might try sites like pcgamingwiki.com, which have tips for getting stuff installed and running on Windows 10: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Commandos:_Behind_Enemy_Lines Vogons (Very Old Games On New Systems) is a good place to check, too.

Not sure if you're still interested, but I got Munt working with Dracula. So on this options screen, everything is right but under Reset CMD, try switching to LA Synth. THEN, go to the Keyboard tab and under the key mapping, scroll down to #53. It's a couple of Japanese characters I admit I don't understand. On a real x68000 keyboard, it's on the far right next to the HELP key. Map this to whatever you please (I used Right Control). Now when you boot up the game, hold down whatever button you used for key 53 until you reach that sound select screen. Hit the 2 for the Roland sound and...it should work. It worked on mine I haven't tried it on any other games yet, but it works on that one... (I wish I could take credit for this, but I actually just stole it from this guy: https://www.vitorpmach.com/blog/2017/11/19/emulating-the-sharp-x68000-and-the-roland-mt-32)

I used to use MAME for everything but I do use FBA (Retroarch) for all the CPS games now.

I've never been much of a Steam fan, preferring GOG much more because I gravitate to classics over newer, mostly overhyped games and I like DRM-free. I'll often go months between logging into my Steam account (I am playing Shadow of Mordor right now, so I'm in one of my "on" phases). Steam to me is useful for Japanese games because those publishers are mostly terrified of something like GOG and for oddball games that aren't likely to come out anywhere else.

Butcher is on my wishlist. Maybe next time around. Odallus is really good.

Burned an AmEx gift card I got from my office on the sale. My haul: Rebel Galaxy (freebie) Saints Row IV Headlander Slain Order of the Thorne Dropsy Stasis (I guess this was my sale for catching up on adventure games...) Strife Dragon's Dogma Nosferatu: Wrath of Malachi Quest for Infamy Memoria SWAT 3 I was wondering about the arcade game packages - I know they're poorly regarded for crappy emulation, but is it possible to just yank the roms out and play them in your emulator of choice? I've read you can do so with the Neo Geo games, but can you do it with the Raiden games or Double Dragon as well...?

I'm fine with the Xbox360 controller for now, although I'll probably upgrade to an Xbox One controller sometime soon since everyone says it has a much better D-pad (the 360 one is indeed problematic). My one exception is that my brother-in-law was kind enough to give me an almost brand new N64 controller he had in storage, so I use that with an adapter because it's such an unusual shape that more standard controllers don't adapt well to that system. Jet Force Gemini, for instance, I find nearly impossible to play with my Xbox pad, and the Aki wrestling games that are my favorite N64 games aren't much better.
