I know you said you don't plan on a lobby system for launchbox users, but oh man that would be cool! See who's on launchbox right now and play something with them!

Now I would like good 3D art of all the arcade cabinets to rotate. That would be fun.

I actually dislike the way the 3D boxes look currently. It just never looks really correct. There's some aspect of it that always feels skewed a bit. I like having regular 2d boxes just front and back. But it's a great effort nonetheless.

I like having full collections just because it's fun to say you have every single game made for a system, especially when someone says, "do you have THIS game?" Yes every single one! Lol. But it does really get old going through them all. I'd like to get it down to exclusives to that system/best versions only. But it's a lot of work. And a lot of the lists out there have people arguing about which ones were really exclusive, and adding new stuff all the time.

Yeah, so now your systems should populate in rocketlauncher, and you can set up the emulators for each one in there and test out game-launching outside of your front end to make sure it is all good to go.

Yeah I notice that it is sort of hard to remember which button number corresponds to which controllers button for that, because like the Select button on the SNES controller, might not be the same button number as the back button on the xbox360 controller.

What's php for?

This all started because I mentioned RL in connection with a poll . Sorry I'll shut up now lol.

Maybe try to collaborate more with the RL team. It could develop into a great working relationship. I actually haven't updated my modules in like 2 years, but update my emulators all the time. Everything still works great. Maybe I'm just lucky that the features still apply themselves well using modules that old on newer emulators. Isnt it all just a bunch of script stuff in there? It seems like a master Carr could take one look at any of the modules and go "oh yeah I see what you did there". ?

Well just less clutter really. There's only a handful of features holding me there. Integration would just mean more streamlined installation with less clutter around. All inclusive one stop shopping if you will. the less I have to go back and forth all the time the better. Once I add a pc game in LB I then have to go over to RL and set it up. Would just be nicer to have it all here. In my mind it's a natural evolution towards being the best front end, period.

I think the idea of a kickstarter for bigbox features is interesting though. It might help out a little

with the digital world buildings in motion? That's City Hunter I'm pretty sure.

I've never voted on a poll, but I would if I knew all the core features of RL were going to Be on there.

Same for me @Chris Kant. Hell id even pay for a bonus premium license if it would aid in the quest for total FE domination. The last step is to get those features into bigbox.

Yes I've had to do that before for a few games. Copy and paste the rom file, then rename it to the version inside that you want.

I actually didn't have it happen very often on way early builds. But more on recent builds, so who knows.

That's a good workaround, but I feel like at this stage in the game, a front end as good as launchbox should just get its focus back without having to use a workaround. I'm using RL as well so maybe they are having a hard time communicating to each other and that might need some more attention

There's another thread about focus, but taskbar related. I don't know what to do about this, but I've had focus problems since day one. Except mine is always the taskbar showing up and staying visible even when I do click back into big box.

I would suggest movingly to mednafen. This all seems like so much fiddling around when you can just load it with mednafen and move on with your life lol. I'm sure it's only going to get better as time goes on.

I tried putting this dll in the teknoparrot folder but still get the direct 3D error. Crappy. Windowed is waaaay to small to play.

It only looks bad as a product of its time. Is there anything accompanying it that might give some context? It may be official promotional material, but it Doesn't really show much.

I would welcome the inclusion of the key features of RL that keep most of us current users around. As soon as LB/BB incorporates Fade, Pause menu (and all the tabs within it), bezels (because not all of us use Retroarch), and the keymapping feature per-game, then i'm ready to ditch it. That's the only reason I'm still using it.

There is also a controller section to show your image in the PAUSE feature of rocketlauncher. Might be worth looking into.

This would also be great for trimming down your romsets. I know for my arcade platform I almost always go into the playlists because those are more focused. Going through the main platform is just too much. There becomes so much wasted space with that big of a set.
