All it does is render the which ever PDF page you choose to show as an image. When you press right or left on the controller you just render the next / previous page. The pdfiumviewer is just a viewer control they made on top of pdfium by google, but you can make your own control do whatever you want.

Adding PDF support into BigBox is simple with a library like PDFium, it's just plug and play: https://github.com/pvginkel/PdfiumViewer

@eXo Do you already have all the metadata? I can see if i can work something out getting it into the database if i get some free time. Have a baby on the way due 2 weeks from now and i'm not sure how much time out of my day i will have to do other things lol. Pretty sure someone made a utility a while ago as well to do mass uploads to the database.

Just found this post this month so i don't think it has a system as of yet: But that's up to LaunchBox to implement it properly. If the data is in the database people can make their own utilities to remove those games from LB at least. I asked for user profiles like netflix a long time ago but i don't know if any work has gone into those features. I've been waiting for Ryzen APUs to ship so haven't touched LB in almost a year.

For adult games cant you just assign an ESRB rating? The rating guidelines are here: https://www.esrb.org/ratings/ratings_guide.aspx It may not be an "official" rating but who cares really

YES! that's it, thanks

Does anyone remember this old game where there's a 2p versus mode and one person is a human and the other is a monster (werewolf) or something. It's a 2d view with 3d looking models and you kill eachother but you can go up and down ladders or something to get to different levels. Cant remember the game and driving me nuts. I think there was a rocket launcher item?

This is one of my favourite dos games from back in the day. Does anyone happen to know the name of the bar area? I cant remember it's name

@Grila was this theme actually posted anywhere?

Finding bugs is good because its a boring job for a programmer to do. MaxDegreeOfParallelism = (Environment.ProcessorCount - 1 > 0 ? Environment.ProcessorCount - 1 : 1) usually works pretty well.

This is it, he is using all the threads on your PC which is starving the rest of your PC for resources.

And you are right clicking on bigbox.exe and setting the DPI scaling compatibility to Application scaling? Doing that makes everything display normally on my 1080p tv with scaling enabled on windows.

If you go to start -> run and type in WINVER does it show Version 17xx

It works perfect for me. Maybe you have not updated your computer?

scaling is a windows setting and can be disabled for BigBox.

Yup, mario kart requires the roms to be in the same folder as the games for BSNES. Here's a github page that has all the roms: link removed Edit by Lordmonkus: Please do not post links to these files, they are copyrighted

Here are some sample sizes NES -> Wii: 2.83TB PS2: 2TB PS1: 0.5TB Total: 5.33TB Wii-U games are very large too so they will take quite a bit of space. If you want to raid to protect against hard drive failures then you will need even more

does bigbox load?

the only somewhat helpful information there is "System.NullReferenceException", you need the stack trace.

By "best" i mean the one that actually boots the game and plays it. Some games don't work on certain emulators or require certain hacks to be enabled to work properly. It would be easy for a non-poweruser / Kid to get up and running this way. I'm pretty sure you do the same thing with ur Bat files loading DosBox with specific settings for each game do you not? Also, waiting patiently for your release with launchbox. Have 3 4tb drives just sitting inside my computer doing nothing because I lost the sata power cables for my modular power supply lol. Just gonna hook them up when i buy my new pc.

Would be nice for someone to make a plugin the picks the best emulator / settings for a particular game so people don't have to guess and check. Workflow could be like: BigBox -> Launch("Donky Kong 64") -> Plugin(Console.N64, "Donky Kong 64") -> Mupen64("Donky Kong 64") BigBox -> Launch("Mario 64") -> Plugin(Console.N64, "Mario 64") -> Project64("Mario 64") A central database would have to be maintained somewhere that has the lists maintained by the community and updated accordingly

Works perfect for me, are you not on the creators update? Make sure u have application selected for the scaling option.

Just a FYI for people complaining about scaling issues. You can disable windows scaling for bigbox here:
