    I wish they could finally figure out how to auto-detect when the disc needed to be swapped and just swap it on it's own. I saw one emulator that did that, just came out recently but I forget the name or what it emulated .

    That pc games black bar has a lot of noise and spots where it is darker black. That's why I didn't go with that one when I saw it. For a while I used a clear dvd box template that sort of looked cool. Here is a link: https://mega.nz/#!eI5RnLxJ!E8aUDaulegcHLjBGYNav_36Edla2DaooblyKCNta7Cg The one I uploaded to mega is for FEZ, but you can use the dimensions of the cover to bring any new box front into it and replace it to make a new one. After a while I sort of got tired of the clear box and went back and turned that layer off and exported just the box cover that remained. Looks a bit cleaner that way to my eye. In any event, the file ended up being good as a way to get the same uniform dimensions for box art, just turning off or on the clear cover.

    It seems like it should be a basic option. I wouldn't really want fanart for each game as that is just too much (busy). But what I would like is to just be able to select a general background image for the game list view. "Games list background" and when that box is checked BB looks in that platforms "game list background" folder for any images there and uses that. Maybe if you have only a few there could be a timer option as well to cross fade into the next image. Personally I would be putting one or a few darkened/slightly desaturated images of the console for the background.

    Someday is the far distant future there will be a drag and drop theme editor for this. That will be a glorious time, and I shall celebrate with several displays of overly emotional ? and ? guzzling.

    I really like it. Simple enough and yet stylish. Gotta love neon grids

    Looks great! Don't know if I like the constant pumping of logo like from hypertheme lol. Don't know if it's my phone or not, but gameplay vids look super dark, and sound file seems noisy like old cassette tape. Again don't know if those are because I was watching on My phone or not.
  7. damageinc86
    Nice work! i'd personally rather have just straight gameplay videos instead of old hyperspin themes crammed in together. Any chance on doing that as well?

    Are there any games exclusive to amiga that are just must haves? I never had an amiga computer, a friend's dad had one, but only got on it a few times. I remember hearing back then from him that it was way better than IBM pcs. Curious if it's worth it to try to get set up.

    I have always just added different PC games as their own platform. I don't get having it designated as windows games because many games are on multiple OS's. It should be PC Games.

    I've noticed that my Big Box does sometimes loose focus and then I have to do ALT+TAB to get back to it.
  11. damageinc86
    Hmm interesting idea. I've never heard of that, but it sounds like a good option to have.
  12. damageinc86
    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.
  13. damageinc86
    You should be able to map a key/button to any of those commands . Or at least some of the most commonly needed/used.
  14. damageinc86
    Left handed? Lol.
  15. damageinc86
    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.
  16. damageinc86
    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?
  17. damageinc86
    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.
  18. damageinc86
    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.
  19. damageinc86
    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.
  20. damageinc86
    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.
  21. damageinc86
    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.
  22. damageinc86
    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.
  23. damageinc86
    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.
  24. damageinc86
    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.
  25. damageinc86
    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.
