Wow, that is good news. The only thing left after that, would be the keymapping feature that RL has, which loads profiles (joy2key) per-game. Then RL would be close to obsolete.

Hard to take pics of them at an arcade, because you really need them to be by themselves, isolated. If it's a working arcade, they'll usually be too close to other machines for that.

Button presses have never stopped a video for me. But the video does cut itself off if it runs past the point when BB would have regularly loaded without a video. But shouldn't it let the video finish playing even if BB is loaded underneath?

That's really weird. No ideas on that. But i'll add to this, that my startup vids still do not stop when I press a key, and If they run longer than it normally takes for my launchbox to start, then the video cuts off at that time, and starts launchbox. So luckily I have found a video that is almost the exact time it takes to start launchbox, so there is no cutting off. But sometimes I'd like to press a key and just get to launchbox, but I guess it doesn't matter if launchbox still hasn't even loaded underneath it.

I got a hbmame set and added the games under my "Arcade Hacks" platform. There are some fun variations of the pac-man/ms. pac man games. There is a ms. pacman 25 diff. maze version, which is fun. There are some wonky parts of the maze, almost as if some of the original maze walls couldn't be deleted and are in black space. But for the most part, it's pretty fun. I also like the pacman renaissance games.

Launchbox Won! Sweet.

Voted! We all should be doing this, just to show up HS.

I can't wait for a day when the emulators are able to automatically swap the discs when the time comes, in game.

I know it might be inconsistent to have arcade cabs facing different ways sometimes, but given the lack of full cabinet photographs, i'd be more than happy to deal with different facing artwork. I've always thought that themes should have the arcade cab there to show what it really looked like.

I actually preferred to move my box art, carts, and wheels over from hyperspin because of their high quality sets there. Just have to find the corresponding folder, and launchbox should be able to match them to the roms. In some cases I had to tweak a name here or there, to match launchbox, but nothing too bad. Just take a look around the folder structure and i'm sure you'll pick up on where things need to be.

Awesome! Do you have a list of the movies you took those clips from?

I'd suggest using mednafen. I've never had a problem with input detection using that. It's always been a breeze, and you can assign on the fly in-game as well.

id like to be able to have a platform be a link to all your playlists.

I ended up going back to metalzoic's RL universal bezel packs. Those realistic ones were very cool, but I started to get annoyed at the amount of screen glare and scratches. Sometimes the reflections in the screen glare were so light and bright that it began to overshadow the game. It ended up feeling not that realistic with that aspect, since most screen glare is very subdued in a dark arcade with crt light and very dark blacks. Those screen glare layers were taken in a brightly lit room with the "screen" turned off. So the glare is amplified under that setting. the other thing I ended up not liking was the very small gameplay screen area that is used in order to accommodate most of the cabinet and bordering cabinet with background stuff. With the RL packs, the gameplay area is maximized.

I would first try to turn off the now loading message,...it feels like that cuts down on time. But that's just my unmeasured perception.

I haven't bothered trying in a while, you might get lucky who knows.

Looks like a nice emulator thanks for the module . I hate updating rocketlauncher because then I have to go back into the modules and add my custom system names for my home brews into the msystem part of the module. I'd rather just update manually the modules I need.

I have been using rocketlauncher' pause menu for years, but I noticed that somewhere during the higher launchbox version numbers it stopped being able to steal focus from launchbox and displays in the background, but you can still hear the select sounds. So it's basically useless nowadays, but it used to work great.

You could actually do a lot on those old IBMs. A lot less in the way. The prices are insane though lol.

I think you'd have to make a playlist for this. I don't think sub-platforms are a thing yet. Would be perfect for this situation though.

Oh wow, awesome! I've always used mednafen with rocketlauncher because it's what I know, and it's never failed me. I really like being able to do the alt+shift+number key, to map controls on screen and on the fly.

Do you use mednafen for anything? I wonder if that might recognize inputs better, as it does on any controller i've ever had, and does all the sega consoles besides dreamcast.

Super cool idea. I'd like to have a "pc games " option instead of Windows, and maybe a few different versions of the DS? This does really look promising though !

Yeah i've only ever used RL to load emulator and game specific joy2key profiles. For Bigbox, it detects all my controllers anyways, so no issues controlling that program.

Fade screen and bezels. A lot of people say retroarch does bezels, but I don't use that and have never liked it. So I stick with RL for bezels. There's so many amazing sets out there. Just have to turn it on and put the files in the right folder. I got another user here going with a full bezel set in about 20 minutes. Half of which was just chatting while in teamviewer
