I've had my license for quite a while now but honestly never really used launchbox, however awesome I thought it was. The reason was mainly because I didn't need to play all these games. Now, my view has shifted a little, especially since I bought my mini PC. It's quite the little beast but it annoys me terribly that it starts on windows. Now I already know I can change this with bigbox and some tweaking, but I would really like to use my mini pc for a little more than JUST games, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with advice on how to get this done. Not just with a nice bigbox theme that would suit this, but perhaps other pointers as well. Some of my wishes: -An interface from which i can create my own subcategories, so i can simply divide my programs, games/couch-coop, webbrowser and perhaps even an integrated version of windows explorer(?) to still be able to move files around and stuff. -Accessing and shutting off normal programs should result in going back to bigbox, not exiting to windows. -Of course (but this is not a worry for me) the whole interface should be controllable by either a normal controller but also a digipad or different. -No gaming wheels like most of the themes out there. I would like something that actually doesnt move that much except for when I enter a large folder. Is something like this feasible? and how? Thx in advance!

love the theme and will be using this as my favorite! one question: is there a way to prioritise gameplay screenshots when the wheel stops at a game? it always keeps picking the title screen which mostly looks too similar to the box front in my opinion. havent seen the option in the custom theme options... thx in advance!

looking for a ps vita banner. the one i have doesnt work and ive been scrolling 15 pages for one, but things just keep getting more niche. any help?ss

thank you so much! i keep being surprised by how extensive and helpful this community is! will do.

hi there, thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I cant believe i missed this obvious solution. trying out right now and if you dont hear back, consider it fixed! thx in advance!

where d?o i find these other banners? and i mean the banner to replace the original one with?

Hi, I have a problem with the big images for the consoles. for me they will not load. When scrolling consoles you can see their pictures, but once you land on a console its just a "press A button" with a big black empty void next to it. downloaded and unpacked as per instruction. This happens with both the light and dark version of the theme. other themes work fine for me. any suggestions on what the problem may be?

UPDATE: Good news, transferring my games to android with the export fucntion at least shows the games in launchbox for adnroid, but i still cannot find a way to properly set them up to play them. Retroarch doesn't recognise the files since they've been zipped, and though you an use retroarch itself to look inside zipped files, i cannot find a way to save the specific pathnames inside a zipped game for the same specific game in launchbox. anyone able to help with this? Mostly also since this way is way easier to setup DOS games through android, not to mention much quicker, but it has to work and it still doesnt.

Thx @faeran, that makes everything a bit clearer. Foor now it's gonna be emblem. concerning the 'adding games' problem, for now i'm gonna try and use my pc's launchbox to export these DOS games, see what happens.

I was still curious if people had issues. I have an odin pro now, and apart from me loving the thing, i have experienced some major inconveniences with launchbox. Mainly the fact that launchbox randomly AND specifically throws me out of the app, to (when restarting) show me none of the changes i've made had any effect. This is particularly nasty when trying to add games. I already can't add all my MS-DOS games at the same time, but doing them one by one and repeatedly getting kicked out to find out my game hasnt been added is kind of a dealbreaker. for now i'm pretty sure there are answers i'm not finding yet, nonetheless it's a pain....

-this one has been solved. seemed my lighting in the room and my computer screen didn't allow me to see where the actual search column was. found it now
