Hi all,
Now that I have all 30+ of my systems set up, working and looking fantastic, I want to set up my PC to my TV, relax on my couch and enjoy Big Box without the need for a keyboard at all (except maybe to launch it). Ideally, I would like to do everything with just an X-Box 360 controller. By everything I mean while in game:
1) Exiting games and going back to the Big Box menu
2) Saving states
3) Loading states
4) Selecting save states (optional)
5) Fast forward (or whatever the emulator calls speeding up the game)
Currently I have to have a "Cheat Sheet" and a wireless keyboard next to my couch to do this, but it's not ideal. I know a lot of this is dependent on the emulator and some are harder than others to do, but before I go ahead and start messing with anything (and potentially screwing up something important), I thought I would check in with the experts and see what others have done to make the experience with Big Box as keyboard-free as possible.
Please keep in mind when responding that I am a COMPLETE noob when it comes to this topic, so I would literally need to be told step by step on how to do this. The main systems I use right now are PS2 (PCSX2), Gamecube / Wii (Dolphin), PSP (PPSPP), Saturn, Gameboy Advance and SNES (RetroArch).
A video from Brad on doing this would be awesome, but not sure where this fits (if at all) in the schedule. Otherwise, any detailed instruction on how to do this would make my overall experience with BigBox so much better.
Thanks to all in advance since I can tell this community is very responsive and easy to communicate with.
