RegularRegs

I've seriously downsized my library, and it shaved a few hundred MB off the RAM, but It's still sitting around at least 1.2 GB. I do need to upgrade my system, but I wish there was something besides taking games down that helped it. I'm not even entirely sure that did anything to help. If anyone has a quick fix or something that helps, I'd appreciate it. Maybe removing all the excess images as well? My assumption on that is that if they aren't being called by Launchbox they can stay. Also, are there any skins that may use less features of the program, so it may use less RAM?

This is great. I had the old arcadeambience app but this is so much more convenient. Just made a playlist of the arcadeambience mp3 tracks and now when I open launchbox i get the full effect.

did you do anything to make them work or did it just start working again? im still stuck with no cheevs

Not sure if this is a feature but when I have my genres open in Launchbox I've always wanted to highlight 2 at once and I wasn't sure if it was a setting or if it just isn't a feature. Like for instance if I wanted to highlight both beat 'em ups and shoot 'em ups and have them all appear, is that possible? Or rather, without nesting playlists, is there a way to highlight, for instance, Nintendo Entertainment system AND SNES at the same time, so they all appear. Or do I have to just make playlists at this point?

RIGHT? It would be so convenient. Especially for the most obscure games that don't scrape. Or indie games that aren't even on steam or another launcher. If we could see that its missing media, hit a button, then we can see everything we need for it right there. Or if we're just trying to find something out about the game, that's why I loved wiki peek when it worked (I even asked that dude to make this, and he hasn't answered me in a year.) It didn't work for everything though. I think with a search engine we will probably get access to every game and its info. Maybe Jason Carr can put up a plugin bounty on the forums?!! just an idea

i really wish someone would make a new working plugin like wikipeek. Something that just searches the internet for the game rather than wikipedia. Something like that could be so helpful in the pause menu.

I'd be willing to pay for a plugin that allows a default browser with default search on any game from Launchbox or Bigbox... something like wikipeek (which doesn't work anymore) that just searches the internet for whatever game you select. Or maybe this could be a cool pause menu feature.

Hey quick addition to this, if you already have hotkeys set up in Retroarch (I have my hotkey button as "select", then a number of commands for opening the menu, resetting the game, all kinds of things), So my save-state button in the pause menu wasn't working because I needed it to hit Control+F2 to save and Control+F4 to load state. First, I was just holding control while pressing save, but then I found this thread.... So what I did was go into manage emulators, chose Retroarch, chose pause screen, then chose "Save States" and changed it to this: ; Retroarch saves state with F2 key by default Send {Control down} Send {F2 down} Sleep 50 Send {F2 up} Send {Control up} and then I chose "Load State" and changed it to this: ; Retroarch saves state with F2 key by default Send {Control down} Send {F2 down} Sleep 50 Send {F2 up} Send {Control up} Then I hit OK and everything seems to be working from the pause screen now. Hope that helps if anyone else is running into this problem.

hey has anyone gotten any false positives for avira virus... for some reason both the big box and the launchbox updaters came up as trojans. Dropper.gen i think

totally understandable. at the end of the day i dont use android devices THAT much for gaming. and when i do there are already a few others that do the job. I actually find myself using Parsec to just stream big box from the PC. (which works perfectly for me) I definitely would rather 100% of attention going to the desktop version.

i second this motion

Does anyone have a playlist of the high score supported games?
