    in Big Box Custom Themes

    Posted

    Background images are not included in themes (mine or others'). You have to set them directly in Launchbox: Tools > Manage Plateforms... And check: Options/Filters Images >>> "Use Plateform Fanart Backgrounds" You can use any image you want. But these one (in screenshots) are juste custom made background. I've only made a few, only 9, but I plan to cover all my plateforms some day Laugh. You can see them on imgur: http://imgur.com/a/QSqY1 Or download them on MediaFire: http://www.mediafire.com/download/hep2on85gxcrx8s/background_plateforms.zip

    Here's an update of my first theme: CleanHardware.

    Instructions:

    • disable "show Favorite Games" and "Show Recent Games" in Option > Filters List in BigBox
    • Use your own image for every plateform. You can download them on the Official LB Database or on this website.

    Changelog: 06/22/2016:

    • added a relative path for "white-corner.png"
    • added news borders (top and bottom) in order to avoid full height hardware images
    • the hardware image is now centered (yeah it wasn't...).

    Here's a first test of a custom theme in response to @viking. It's not really advanced and only work in Vertical Clear Logo Wheel. But I wanted to test this feature myself Laugh I'm not a dev in real life, just a graphist. This theme feature is easy to understand and modify. It's a pleasure :) I think everyone can make his personal theme without too much difficulties. My only complaint may be about images. I don't know if it's posible to use custom images for Plateforms Banners (a specific relative link) for a specific theme so... for now, we have to change manually (or through Launchbox) every banner of every plateform. There's a good link for high resolution photos: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Evan-Amos custom theme nes custom theme snes custom theme n64 Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/g7kjy9owg9vevw6/WhiteLine.zip Warning: disable "show Favorite Games" and "Show Recent Games" in Option > Filters List in BigBox. If not, there will be ghosts lists and... it's annoying Kiss I hope it will work for you Laugh

    Ideas for switching between games

    in Noobs

    Posted

    Use the Automation input option and enable the gamepad in Launcbox. Kiss automaton option I use start + select for closing the emualor and navigate trough my collection with the gamepad. Big Box is much easier to use with a controller than launchbox.

    I'm totally agree with lordmonkus. Thank you Jason and Brad for your approach on this problem. Thank you very much :) And yes, donations is a great idea. I'd like to support you more than only an old 20$ premium account. :)

    Otherwise, I think you can use this Kiss: https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/features/launchboxpcsx2-an-in-between-launcher-for-launchbox-and-pcsx2 Working like a charm thanks to XoRRoX. One game, one config, and much more than only software/hardware mode. Usefull for a lot of games. I'm using it.

    Yes, it is also a good idea! I can't edit the first post but here's the link for BitBucket ticket if anyone want to vote: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/732/quick-last-played-list Thank you.

    Hey! I'm always "testing" a lot of retro-games, just for my own satisfaction, but conversely, I always have a main game in progress Kiss I don't think I'm alone in this case. We love games, but often have a main goal: finish one before another. And when we have a big collection on a plateform, it can be boring to scroll the main window. Last days, I wanted to play to Megaman Zero (without BigBox, directly by Launchbox), but at the same time, keep games listed by title (yeah I want mooooore! Kiss). This is a matter of seconds but I would like to have a little list in Launchbox and clic on the last game played without scrolling a plateform. Just another quick launch option, in fact. There is an example of what i'm talking about: Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I can not find a similar topic in the forum and bitbucket Embarassed Is it a good or bad idea? What do you think? Smile

    Why should I choose LaunchBox before any other FE?

    in Noobs

    Posted

    Hey ! Laugh For me that's, by order: - Two front-ends in one (Launchbox + BigBox) - updated frequently - Good looking FE - Easy to configure - Great features (like managing everything with only one controller in BigBox) - Good scraper & linked to emumovies (very easy to import cover/screenshots/music & videos) - Not too closed, we can do much more than only boot a game (ex: launch any .exe, use .bat files, and so on...) - it rarely crashes and it's fast. - Very nice and listening community, not aggressive Wink I've tried Hyperspin... But... Not for me... Kiss I've tried EmulationStation, good looking FE but limited and totally outdated. I've tried Lakka, but, eh... no. I haven't tried Ice because I don't want to use multiple FE at the same time, specially Steam. I've tried GameEx.... But I really don't like it (meh interface...). And others are too "simple". Not enough options/bad UI... MehStation is visually really close to BigBox but very young, I think it worth a try. I'm done Laugh

    No, and... no Kiss If it was the problem, why everything works fine in BigBox? But if this problem is just from me, just forget it, I'll wait until the next update and inspect my folder/options a little deeper. But it's strange.

    Yes, of course. :) As I said, I don't know why it doesn't work anymore. Maybe a conflict with another software or hardware, I don't know. The funny thing is the controller is working in BigBox, but not in Launchbox, with the same config Cool

    The automation solution doesn't seem to work on Launchbox, on my computer, since the last beta update Cry But it's working on BigBox. I've tried to reboot the software and the computer, but nothing changes. Buttons aren't recognized by launchbox. I'm using scpdriver for the PS4 controller (emulating the 360 controller) on windows 10 64bits. Sorry, but everything was working fine until the 5.10 beta 5. Frown

    Help close joytokey

    in Emulation

    Posted

    I was thinking... The solution I gave is for an entire emulator, not a specific game only. For that, it's much more simple: just add JoyToKey as an additional app in Launchbox. Like this: jtk Don't forget to check the "Wait for Exit" box. Embarassed

    Help close joytokey

    in Emulation

    Posted

    You have to create a batch file and launch your emulator with it. JTK will be closed on exit (taskkill). The process: batch > launch JTK > Launch emulator > Close emulator > close JTK An exemple with ePSXe :
    @echo off :: launch JoyToKey start F:\path\to\JoyToKey \JoyToKey.exe :: launch EPSXE with Launchbox cd "E:\path\to\epsxe2\" start /wait E:\path\to\epsxe2\ePSXe.exe -nogui -loadbin %1 :: close JoyToKey on exit taskkill /f /im JoyToKey.exe
    I'm using antimicro (same as JTK) and .bat files like this for every emulator. It's working great. Wink

    PS2 - Compressed all my games as CSO's, 378 games = 669GB

    in Emulation

    Posted

    Ah good to know! I've compressed all my GC and Wii games as CSO/GCZ and WBFS, it took a while too, but around 200go saved. Didn't know CSOs work for PCSX2. I think I'm gonna compress all my games in this format, thanks to you Wink. For PS1, I'm using PBP files. But like you, I don't like the zipping process. I don't like doing that when it affects performance.
