  1. Jason Carr said Hi @rmilyard, I have this exact controller board and for most part I love it. MAME works out of the box, as the keys are configured specifically for MAME. You will need to reconfigure keys and such for Retroarch and other emulators, but it's relatively easy to do. Every single input/output from the board maps to a key on the keyboard, which works well enough. You can change the keys coming out of the controller with special programming, but I wouldn't bother. I'd leave them the same and just tweak emulators to match. Per using the controller, the quality and build is excellent. It has stood up to my kids beating on it very well. My one beef with it is there's a hard plexiglass edge all around the sides of it, so it can get annoying after a while when using it if you put your arm on the edge of the plexiglass.
    Oh yeah the plexiglass! Sometimes when I'm on it for a long time and I lift my elbow/arm, it can hurt lol. I got to look into buying some table edge cushions or something for it.
    rmilyard said I got a 32" 120hz Vizio to put in the cabinet.
    I have a 40 inch Vizio on mine and I think its just too big when playing games that take up the whole screen.
  2. @rmilyard Can't speak for the "Emulation" edition, but I have the "Pro" edition and sit-down cabinet. Very happy with it after almost 2 years. Was just a pain in the ass setting up the cabinet. Either the instructions were incorrect (which were poorly written) or one of the pieces of wood were incorrectly labeled. Had to take the whole thing apart when I was almost finished to switch a piece that was actually needed somewhere else. I choose the pro edition because it uses x-input, works with consoles, and was the only one with Sanwa buttons and joystick. I know its too late because you already ordered, but I remember emailing their customer support at the time asking if there were any specials and discounts. They were very/cool and gave me $100 off discount code. Do you know what size screen you will use for your cabinet?
  3. SentaiBrad said We have 3D Artwork and with the Image Priorities of the latest beta you can easily tell LaunchBox to use them instead. The rest of that stuff has been requested here and there but there have been a lot of things requested and we have to go by what people want the most generally.
    These are actual fully rendered 3D models of arcade cabinets/boxes/Characters which is different from LaunchBox. See at 50 second mark of first video and 31 second mark of the second video. Who knows if you can even do this now in the beta. Would be so sweet if LaunchBox had this as well!Kiss
  4. http://www.gameex.com/gameex-evolution-alpha-0-1/ Thomas Speirs and team over at Game Ex has finally released an alpha of Game Ex Evolution! I remember this being announced years ago and being really excited because it is supposed to support HyperSpin theme (not videos) and easily customizable themes and interfaces. Looking forward to playing around with it tonight. (You might want to lower the volume on your speakers for the first video. The music is super loud and annoying. At least for me.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elTKKERzHQY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86LDSRRQies
  5. Glad to hear that you got permission from Circo!!!! Sorry if I have caused any problems. I could tell they were from Emumovies and realized that you would need permission from Circo as well. If you can't get permission from the HS creators, maybe you can try Attract-mode? I know it supports HS themes. Thank you Cid and Please keep us updated!
  6. SentaiBrad Have you used HyperSpin or created a theme in Hyperspin before? You can put any video there. You just have to make sure the video is just name accordingly in the "Media" > "System name" > "Video" folder similar to LaunchBox. Here is the very first theme in Cid's video with a changed video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPpo0Axwq6U&feature=youtu.be The theme creator created the that theme in mind by allowing any Vertical video to be used. Cid and everyone involved definitely has good intention, but this is something that should be run by Circo for sure. I'm sure many of these themes will have some of his videos because I have seen every single one of them on Emumovies for far just looking at the few that were uploaded before.
  7. Well I'm not sure if you noticed, but the 289 themes Cid has already uploaded in his first post contain both the HyperSpin theme and the Emumovies clip. So it doesn't look like it will work the way you think it will Brad. The Hyperspin theme creators have only made the images around the gameplay clip. The gameplay videos are done by Circo over at Emumovies (as far as I know). The 3 other sites you are referring to most likely stolen them from Emumovies. Anyone can take a video and claim it as there just like artwork. People pay good money to get nice quality videos over at Emumovies (myself included), so you have to understand why people may get upset at this.
  8. sagaopc said Jason, pls put option to add adicional aplications to all games, because I want to use nomousy and I have to choose game by game to config... It's very painfull!
    Could be a good idea to add "Additinal apps" to the bulk editor. I know RocketLauncher is able to hide the mouse when starting your game if you need this now.
  9. SentaiBrad said You should read before making accusations like this. This has nothing to do with EmuMovies and the original theme creator on Hyperspin said that Cid had his full permission to do this.
    Well the videos within those themes are taken straight from Emumovies.
  10. Beetlemaniac19 Really? I'll try to be on tonight's Dev session and bug him about it in the comments lol You can still use Rocketlauncher with LaunchBox. http://www.rlauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?2632-Integrating-RocketLauncher-into-LaunchBox&p=20969#post20969 Its just not practical, but at least everything has been working for me so far.
  11. A French user in the BigBox theme thread mentioned a scraper that has French and UK descriptions for games (Used Google translate. Could be possible I misunderstood).Here is a link to the post: https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/big-box-custom-themes/bigbox-user-create-theme-mega-thread-share-your-custom-made-themes/page-5#p20786 As far as how to then get this metadata into LaunchBox, I have no clue.

  12. My main reasons to use RocketLauncher: - Bezels - Global pause menu - Supports compressed roms - custom fade-in and fade-out animations - Supports multiple front-ends Rocketlauncher is definitely not mandatory with LaunchBox (unlike Hyperspin), but it is very nice to have.
  13. imdavid555 said Noticed that my box art is missing for systems with wide boxes (Snes, N64) when trying to use the the "Vertical Clear Logo" view in BigBox. Made a video of it. Issue is shown at 14 second mark and then shows it working in other views https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcVwbeC2mc4& If anyone knows a fix please let me know.
    The latest beta has fixed this issue for me. Thank you Jason!
