I've noticed that my Big Box does sometimes loose focus and then I have to do ALT+TAB to get back to it.

Hmm interesting idea. I've never heard of that, but it sounds like a good option to have.

Yeah it would be nice if when the game or platform was highlighted in BB you could move down/over/up (depending on what view your in) and have the highlight move to info options that would have "game manual" "commercials" "console users manual" "platform accessories" (pictures), etc. then when you want to return to the clear logos to browse you just have to hit the direction back.

You should be able to map a key/button to any of those commands . Or at least some of the most commonly needed/used.

Left handed? Lol.

I have always despised steam simply for their drm crap, and the fact that you never really possess the games you buy. I reluctantly use it for only about 4 games that I cannot find elsewhere.

I'd be interested to hear how the Bluetooth works. I'd imagine it will be the same. I don't understand how we are this advanced yet our OS can't allow us to do anything with controllers. Say, allowing users to tell windows that a certain controller will be turned on in port 2 and until further notice it is an Xbox one wireless controller so tell any program that wants to know that it's that type of controller so the program can apply the mapping set for it. How is his Type of control not a standard feature of an OS yet?

Yeah I don't get it. It hasn't had a problem with Launchbox names yet for me. Like I said, you just make the platform in launchbox (using RL as the emulator), and then go into RL and set launchbox as the frontend, and all the platforms you have in launchbox should populate in the systems list. Then you can do anything with emulators, fade, bezel, keymapping, etc., that you need to.

Hmm weird because I've never had that problem now that RL was set to launchbox and launchbox was set to RL. Every time I add a new platform in launchbox be it arcade, or arcade hacks, NES home brew, or any of the classics platforms, the next time I open rocket launcher they are all there and I can configure everything for the new platform. Even bezels because once rocket launcher has been started, all the folders populate in the directory structure.

How doesn rocket launcher let you swap discs on the fly? I've never actually played any multi-disc games because I was too scared to deal with the swapping. But if rocket launcher can help that, then it might be worth checking out.

Yes as far as I know, and last time i messed with RA (a month ago), I saved each core config as it's own. But I have rocketlauncher call it up in the module settings, so I don't know how to do it with rocketlauncher. I think you do command line stuff in a field somewhere. But still, if you unplug anything, it's going to be the wrong controller when you plug something else back in and then the original controller in after it.

Nope have to leave them plugged in for the easiest experience. Not too bad really, if you have the space. I have 3 GameCube controllers on a rack mounted the the left side of the ent. System, two snes usb in the middle rack of Munich rackmount part of the ent. System, two xbox360's on the right side rack, PlayStation controllers on the top of a PlayStation 2 stand, and all 4 wiimotes on top of a wii stand. Yeah it lools like a lot , but it's not that bad or hard to have set up. Hardly ever have to remap, unless something gets unplugged accidentally.

It does accept the manufacturer ones. But even if ut doesn't if you have it using launchbox as the front end, and launchbox plugin for rocketlauncher as emulator, it reads your LB platforms for names. All you need to do then is set emulators in RL and bezels in the folders for that platform name.

Yeah i saw you could use them wired, but the point for me would be to have them be wireless, because they could take care of a lot of platforms in just having two of them. But i'd still need some of my wired controllers, so I don't know, guess i'll have to get one and find out.

When I'm not gaming/tweaking systems, I'm going to sjsu for my masters in library and information sciences, doing family life stuff, and working on one of my 6 classic cars. It's sort of an obsession like LB is lol.

Yeah for mame it's as easy as the built in per game controls. But this is an example of why I like rocket launchers per game keymapping capabilities based off database game listing and not .exe instance.

Oh nice! Had no idea those were on the wii

Just reading as an onlooker, and damn daphne seems like a lot of hassle.

So I keep seeing stuff about the 8bitdo controllers Andy how awesome they are but I have a question for anyone that has them. Since they are wireless, do they knock other wires controllers out of order in windows when you turn them on and off? This is my major concern, since I'd hate to have to remap controls for all my other controllers every time I turn it off and on.

I would consider it the box (front). But it would also be more accurate to add a new image type called cassette case (front), cassette case (back)

I wonder how it would stop the game if we used rocketlaunher, since you'd have to send the exit key for that.

I still don't really like retroarch, so for me bezels in RL are great. The other thing is the PAUSE menu where you can save and load game states within that menu once you setup the autohotkey key presses, and the ability to map controls with joy2key based on database game entry.

would love the individual layers of those top 100 and fighter logos. would your friend share the psd file?

Has anyone tried those realistic bezels out in rocket launcher?

I'd like for that exclusive tick box to be automatically ticked if it was an exclusive, which of course would require work to the database to have that info there in the first place. But that would be so cool, then another option on top of that which allowed you to tick under each platform "display exclusives only".
