I might add this at a later date, but unfortunately this probably won't make it into the next official release.

Ok, thanks

[LaunchBox.Next Missing Features Thread]

Would it be possible to make an option for "text lines to show" to be applied to all boxes so that way some arnt longer than others ?

Or maybe some other kind of option so boxes could be all same length

For example the game "Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse" has a longer box than others, iv same issue for few pc games

I will look into adding those options, yes.

Awesome, thanks, really loving this new version

[LaunchBox.Next Missing Features Thread]

Will there be option to get rid of the developer name of each game from under the title?

Also will we be able to align the text to the middle instead its over to the left atm

[8.3-beta-1 Released]

Love the new sidebar, looks very clean

Hope we can adjust box art size, im not a fan of the current different lengths of black boxes and it be nice to have option to just have the name of the game under box art, like the old version has

Old launchbox with my icons

[LaunchBox.Next Now Available]

i cant wait for box art resize, some of the black boxes currently show different lengths and thats whats stopping me from fully using it, once thats added in ill be using the new version

Great work so far though

[8.0-beta-1 Released]

Just wanted to say holy s**t launchbox starts up so much quicker with 8.0 beta 4, great job @Jason Carr, green loading bar is like just less than a quarter full then boom its all loaded up, so happy with this

Hope this can be looked into at some point please, sorry if i should attach this here - 

 

 

[Option to use words like "The" or "A"]

I would say the best option would be a list where you can add the words you would like to ignore. 

Yeah or a simple box to tick/toggle where you choose if you want to ignore or not ignore words like A or The

I recently got the game "A Hat in Time"

it should be under "A" but instead it was under "H"

 

Hope this can get looked at for version 8, been so long with this (since version 6.9)

[Your List of Small Things]

Nope thats not what i mean, i know about that option, i was saying it be good to save them, you can make a custom setup but it doesnt have save option

For example i might want to edit purple colors and have a nice setup, but then one day i might want to edit reds, that would result in loosing my purple setup and id have to make it from scratch again

[Your List of Small Things]

As well as my request at the top of the page, it be nice to have option to save a custom color theme in launchbox

[Your List of Small Things]

Iv mentioned this on a few live streams since launchbox version 6.9 but thought id make topic here

id love for an option so games like The witcher 3 or The sims 4 can be in alphabetical order under The and not under w or s

As you can see the games that start with THE arnt in the correct order

Sort title is the only way to get the games to go under THE, but if i put in sort title THE SIMS 4, it will then move to S and ignore THE.

its the same for the other games starting with THE

So if possible an update to sort title menu would be greatly appreciated 

 

Please can this be looked into

@barra51, Sorry but im not sure as i dont use JoyToKey with emulators (In JoytoKey there is an option to Associate profiles with applications depending on the game your playing, thats how iv setup all my Pc tomb raider games). That might work with emulators but i dont know, sorry.

For me with emulators i just use the emulators built in controller options (never had issues with them). Also when i add emulated games to Launchbox i only add a custom exe (was batch file converted to exe) of the Emulator/game, i dont bother with Launchboxes built in Emulator support.

Folder of games

Inside Super Mario 3d world folder (shortcut is now a custom exe, read below for info)

I use a custom exe now so game folders are universal, use "batch to exe" (was just a shortcut before but that needs direct path) that are in each folder and add them to Launchbox.

Inside each batch file the target is directed to the Emulator, in this case its Cemu.exe, also you direct to the games iso/exe/rom or whatever it is, in this case its an Rpx file inside each game (i added -f to launch fullscreen for this emulator).

This way the batch file/custom exe just runs the emulator and loads the game and it goes fullscreen by itself, also using batch/custom exe i have all emulators universal meaning i can place the game folder anywhere on my pc and i will run, also cause each game is in its own folder different settings can be applied to each game if needed (Same applies to any other emulator)

 

Example of the Batch/custom exe

"Cemu.exe" -g "Super Mario 3D World\code\RedCarpet.rpx" -f

 

I do batch files converted to exe with

Dolphin for Wii and Gamecube games

Kega fusion for Sega games

Epsxe for Ps1 games

Pcsx2 for Ps2 games

Cemu for Wii U games

 

It should work with any emulator etc

[Command to close JoyToKey]

Hi, thanks for reply I dont actually see the black box of command prompt like batch files usually do, i think its happening very fast while the game is exiting so i dont see it.

JoyToKey process is called JoyToKey.exe so taskkill should work but it wont, well not for me (maybe im being daft or JoyToKey is just a stubborn app lol).

With all my games and application paths i give complete path not the "../" using the complete path for JoytoKey still leaves it open for me, only thing that has worked is the batch file, or the exe that i made,

JoyToKey Force Exit.exe

[Command to close JoyToKey]

I found what to do

Make a batch file next to the joytokey.exe, Inside put "taskkill /F /im JoyToKey.exe" without the quotes, or simpler way is to use the exe i made in later post.

Then under the Additional Apps in launchbox for the game you want to use it with direct the application path to the batch file or the exe i made in post below, and only tick run after main app that made the joytokey completely close when i exited a game

 

[Command to close JoyToKey]

I found how to close/proper shutdown JoyToKey when i exit a game so it doesnt stay in taskbar 

Iv got it setup in Additional Apps so i can start JoytoKey when i launch a game and found a way to close it when i exit a game,

I made an JoytoKey Force Exit exe, its runs hidden/invisible so you wont see command prompt, iv also added the JoytoKey icon so it looks nicer. The only line inside the exe is the "taskkill /f /im JoyToKey.exe" so it can be placed anywhere you want but i think its best to have next to Joytokey.exe

[Game Icons for Pc and some Emulators]

First id like to say i love this software, i used to use Winstep Nexus but my png icons looks blurry and small with there software but this Launchbox makes my icons look like they should and with the many added feature in Premium which i recently bought, i love this even more now hense why i switched to this

Anyhoo i make random icons for PC, PS1/2, SEGA, NGC, WII & WIIU,Iv also got templates so you can make your own for the games you want (always good to have options for others)
