SentaiBrad said Without an external program Big Box has proper shut down controls built in, otherwise you'll need a 3rd party app that does that sort of thing. oh! So Big Box has this feature built-in? And i can also exit from every emulator (if i have understood what is said in another topic) pressing a combination of buttons? Suddendly Big Box is becoming mooooore interesting to me.....

Hi all! I'm trying to build my first console-pc (Win 8.1+Launchbox+xbox360 controller) but i'm having some issues; what i want to do is: 1) power on my pc directly in Launchbox (done! Launchbox autostart after win starts), 2) play the game(s) i want (pretty easy! various emulators and Steam perfectly working) 3) power off pc when finished. My problem is on 3: to power off my pc i have to exit/minimize LB and power off via Windows. The only way i was able to do that is by using Xpadder (autostart with windows) configured with a secondary profile that pop-up the menu of windows so i can select power-off. Also, if i try to replace explorer.exe with LB, Xpadder doesn't autostart. I know i'm missing something... where is/are my error(s)?

SentaiBrad said It will probably work but I don't think you'll get a reliable frame rate from PCSX2 or Dolphin. Overclocked CPU to 3.0ghz and PCSX2 works perfect! Now i'm gonna upgrade RAM (from 4gb ddr2 to 8gb ddr3, my mb supports all of them) and change HD to a SSD... Do you think i'll get some benefits if i change GPU? Is PCSX2 depending also on GPU or only on CPU?

SentaiBrad said Your PC is a mix of parts... but no I don't think it would be reliable in running anything more recent. It might even have some issues with a really large LaunchBox library. I'm not interested atm in a large library (i only need to emulate a few specific games). It's more important for me if those game/emulators will work well or if i'll have slowdowns and bad fps... (cpu, gpu and ram not enough powerful). Do you think this pc will be able to run ps2 emulator (PCSX2) at a decent level?

Hi guys, i'm working on a new/old pc (made with spare parts i had); this is the build: cpu Intel Q6600 cpu cooler ZEROtherm NV120 Nirvana Premium mb Gigabyte GA-G41M-COMBO (REV 2.0) ram G.Skill 4GB Kit F2-8000CL5D-4GBP gpu Asus GeForce gt 730 Silent (1GB Edition) psu Thermaltake Smart Se 630W hd an old MAXTOR sata 3 (160gb) This pc will be dedicated only to launchbox (wonderful front-end!) for emulations of old consoles and maybe some old pc game. With this spec will i be able to play ps2 games (maybe overclocking the cpu to 3ghz)? Can i improve my build changing some parts? I don't want, for now, buy a new pc...
