  1. I'm only afraid to update because of the renaming you have to do in the module Ini files for systems that aren't standard names (NES homebrew) so they will still launch.  Once you update it writes over those and doesn't have all the names you put in previously, so you have to manually add them all back.  

     I'd still need fade to cover up emulator loading, and the great keymapping part of RL before I completely ditched it. But pause would be a great and huge step for a front end; to have that functionality built in.

  2. This feels like an identical issue I saw a while back. Is also Enjoy it if we could map specific buttons for EACH individual controller plugged in to specific functions instead of just "button1, button 2, etc." because those buttons are different across several controller styles(SNES vs xbox360) it gets hard to remember which button does what for select game for instance. Could be start on the snes, but R3 on xbox360.

  3. It's sort of related in that the subject matter is tied to beginner emulation. So at least they have that going for them.  But it is a rather specific request, so I do think it might be better served as its own thread, given that the OP wrote this post as a general overview.  With it's  own thread it could really be delved into, the nuances of running old dos/win games.  

    Unless the OP wants to synthesize all replies to that issue into an old dos/win section for their original guide. 

  4. There's only really a short list of steps to this process.

    • Set up rocketlauncher to have launchbox as the active and default fronted, pointing it to LB
    • Add rocketlauncher as the emulator in LB / bulk edit all games to use rocketlauncher as the emulator
    • close launchbox and then open rlui, and all the systems should be populated on the left.
    • edit each system to use your emulator (select appropriate module matching the emulator "brand", rom file path, rom extension, etc.)
    • games from launchbox should show in the game tab using the audit button.  from there you can test launch games to see if they work properly
    • now that RL launches stuff, LB can launch stuff!

    Hey @Jason Carr Is it possible to play videos of games inside playlists included in the platform list?

    I noticed that if you don't have a platform video, then BB plays the gameplay videos you have from within that system.  It would be nice to have it automatically do that for playlists that don't have a proper "platform" video yet.

    One advantage of using Rocketlauncher -- you can assign joytokey profiles by emulator, platform and/or game.

    Yup.  per game is one of the best ones for me.  Especially with PC games, or dos games.  Before i struggled having xpadder or joy2key only being able to load profiles based on whenever the program .exe was launched.  Well, that leaves out a lot, since each game might need different controls. 

  7. Really cool idea. But I love seeing Vikings cool platform vids play.  Was thinking, what if B.B. Could show the systems box artwork off to the side or bottom somewhere sort of like it shows the box for each game?  Then we could have our vids and get to see what that systems box/boxes looked like. As important as having game boxes I'd say.

  8. Something to do with how windows detects controllers. Like, it can't just remember which one was in which spot, unless it stays plugged in all the time.  The actual reason is more technical than that, but that's what's I remember reading.  

  9. I'd like that except I'd want the disc to already be in the case And then come out.  There were some themes on hyperspin years ago, that slid the cartridge down from the top and it went into an image of the console, so it looked like it was being put in and turned on.  This would be a big step towards the seamless effect.  But this also will be a crapload of work as Jason has said before, and sort of going into rocketlauncher features that are complicated to make happen.  I'd love this though, it would really add to the experience
