Fair enough. I have never even tried exodos. I hear it's good, but I still use defend reloaded for my msdos stuff, running through RL for joy2key profiles. What's the main draw of exodos ?

Yeah wow, those are all pretty hard critiques yes I'll give them that, but it's not any more scolding than your average movie review. I could understand if it was really inflammatory language, but even though its harsh, I don't get an overly out of control crazy vibe from any of that. But I have no dog in this fight, it just piqued my interest. I don't use exodos. I can see how trying to actually deal with someone like this on a technical level would get trying, so meh. Ban seems over the top though. Anywho hope the dos/win3.0 gets figured out.

I pointed all my platforms to my HS video folders when I first got launchbox. Within a month it became clear that I wouldn't be going back, so I physically moved them all to launchbox' video folder .

@Jason CarrNo it's cutting off about a quarter to half of the entire video still. Should a restart of the computer be required perhaps? it seems very odd for it to stop the video so soon after the update.

What about the startup video changes? I added the video folder and it goes through the videos randomly but still cuts them off short before they finish playing.

Yes, there are so many little options scattered in the tabs it can be hard to see/find them.

Made the Startup video folder and bigbox still cuts my video short. Is there a setting somewhere in there?

Sweetness!

Ohhhh really !? I will go look now.

Might have to find the "hide taskbar" option in rocket launcher for that specific platform. That might get into out of there for ya.

I haven't used startup videos since I first tested the feature out simply because you can't watch a video all ththe way through that is longer than your allowed time limit, and you can't press a key to stop the video short if you don't want to watch the whole thing. would love this to be standard. Just get Rid of the different time options and just have two criteria: A- did video finish? Then start bigbox and B- did enter get pressed? Then stop video and start bigbox. It should be that simple .

I wonder if mednafen has this issue? Worth a try maybe.

Yes. I'd begin by calling it themebox. This would be a nice addition to the family

Woah relax lol. It's just an option. And it reminded me that I use that part of it as well. Only a check box also, so sort of easy for people like me who don't already know a lot about scripts or ahk

This just reminded me that rocket launcher also has the option for cursor hiding when it launches an emulator. Useful in this instance.

I prefer authentic controllers into USB adapters if possible . Someone else posted about a hori fc commander if I recall . It looked pretty good for an all around controller

Yup there are module config options that you can point each platform to the core you need. Glad you got it working

I know you can get save state, pause and stuff outside of retro arch using game pad is to jump into rocketlauncher. But you probably don't want to open another can of worms

Yeah I think having the option to call up a menu/filter, much like I suggested way back when (a menu overlay sidebar that slides over into the screen) is a great feauture. Because being able to call up a playlist that is platform specific while already inside that platform makes a smooth experience. This may only apply to a handful of instances when people have playlists that stick to one platform only like the NES hacks, or SNES hacks, even stuff like the top 100 lists. It would just feel a bit more seamless, instead of having to switch to playlist view and scroll through them all to get to the one for the platform your in.

It would be cool to have a launchbox friends list thing maybe, like online network with high score boards and stuff.

In my opinion the game videos should have always been played inside of the t.v./device by default. This is the way it used to be on my HS setup, and was easy to do since you could make a theme with just a png overlay on top of the video. Great that you are doing this . So can we just use the plugin on any theme? Or does it have to be the theme shown in your screenshots. For example, I use cityhunter and Vikings platform videos, but would like to have the games in the t.v. Like this.

I guess you could check against your old xmls one by one and add the missing games manually.

Yeah the tools in RL really belong in a front end. I couldn't do a lot of things via front end simply because I lack the skills and/or don't know how to implement things. RL makes it so people like me can still get some cool stuff to work that we wouldn't have been able to otherwise. The day when some of those key features can become integrated with the front end will be glorious. Because a front end really should help you fully launch your game without having to know obscure tricks and write scripts and stuff. LB should just employ the RL staff lol.
