Someone will jump on it before me I'm sure......I'm a way off being able to do something. I will check in when the time is right. Be a nice prof of concept for myself before taking on the world outside my hobby

Never new about notepad++ till hyperspin.....o boy does that setup need notepad++....like we need water

My next blog will be about money. I will talk openly about my money situation and views on money. Money is like the 1st rule of fightclub and i hate fighting. Is it ok?

Sorry just for clarity the Shield TV is my emulation box and that is Android OS... still thinking that will be a big problem

Anyone got a view on if this would work with retroarch mame and shield tv? Or is the touchmote app the linch pin here. I wanna test but dont wanna invest in stufff that wont work.

Love notpad++... the regular exspression thibg came in real handy for a couple of things i forget now Could i add a bunch of platforms with Notepad++ do you think? Although writing this i decided to do 1 at a time. As made the mistake of biting off or than i can chew and missing things before

That will do you guys well..... i want to see if i have skills to run an online shop but not got it organised yet. Mrs has always wantted a shop (prolly not online though ) Plan was to get a 100 t-shirts for this scene and maybe some usb sticks and see if i could break even. Then move onto a reallife online shop not linked to this scene @Kirsten Marie could let me know what unbroken- would need from me, based on a one off (small to no profit) deal. To sell a few branded t-shirts Just a bit of a fun (practical time consumer) development project Let me know....if you get a chance

Good thing for clarity is not to say "unplug hard drive. " as a NAS and hdd are in essence the same thing. just gotta use the right term be cool to see a capture vid of your setup working martinconroy

Gotta dig. Laters live stream tomorrow if not driving

Wow so true. Pegged my personality in so few words. Wish i could use less words. Balls i gotta go dig its 8.15. Jason keeping me from real life again..... its always one dev or the other (4th edif because i kept hitting your notifications before saving)

Lol i was just editing my post about albums. I read the tool tip.....doh I will use tags. Thanks for looking

Well my weekend Hyper finally subsided after the wife told me to sit down and stop talking and getting dropped in it at work. 2hr job turns into 10hrs nice. To be fair hypers are fun but tiring. Anyway decided to be less self promoting and removed my logo from here. Its going to be more random now, i should probably get a diary but whats the point in reading stuff, i thought today, tomorrow. Off to dig some flower beds at a ridiculous 8pm...i just want to beat my paperboy score Side gossip from the emu scene:- Simply Austin is having content strike issues from Nintendo (he should know better) ETA Prime balls up and got a copyright strike from RetroPi (just made a mistake) An idiot should be getting banned from RetroFE soon. Watch out for Mark Norville @lordmonkus although think he will be at HS. (Promise i will stop tagging people also sorry)

A guy at hyperspin just made about 250 in 3 variations and theres been some quality stuff coming out of a few retroarch threads. Nosh is still the origial king of RA bezels imo. Nyny77 also made a sweet pack here last year

@JamesBaker any overlays you want hit me up i keep a close eye on that scene. I will be adding them here when time permits. From all over the emu scene https://github.com/libretro/overlay-borders Or my github which is used only for the purpose of adding to retroarch project. https://github.com/thatman84

Hi LB team Im a little focused on blogging right now as lack of pc time. Is there a way to categorise my blog. I see the albums button but not sure what it does? (Edit:its for image albums, please disregard) Fyi managing from a mobile not pc. My idea is to group my blog posts without creating seperate blogs. So if people dont want to read about my life they dont, if they care for my website project or my emulation views they can skip it. Or the reverse so they can read a topic or not.

Oh cool, I got them to setup a new repo just for bezels under the Libretro project. (Which I need to work some more on soon) didnt realise they were added to the overlays repo for download directly. Thought they were against it because of keeping the overlays package storage size down for touch screen users. i will have a look

Love that mod. Old and new merging is my thing

@nosh of bezel fame?

Hi all, Wanted to let off some steam so this is an insight to my personal life. As this is a blog and all that. Where to start My recent flurry of Emu Media (not sure if this is clased as Social Media) I'm coming off a few weeks of a mood low and had a great home life weekend with my wife and daughter. THE SUN WAS OUT, got some gardening done and building work on my house is moving forward after months of hassle & hidden cost. So am loving life again. This has been building for a couple of weeks and now i have my motivation and focus back. It also helped that I had some time on the Nvidia Shield to get kodi setup well, at last...got the boxing in HD, played some paperboy on mame and had time to play with a new Android frontend, i got given the license key for by the dev (a little more on that another time) ? Probably the biggest winner was that there was a decent interest and revival in work on Commodore Amiga emulation on the Shield and general Hyperspin community activity from the top peeps ....(Hyperspin...sorry its still my primary gaming solution, LaunchBox is VERY close second to that) Focus and mind My focus (around the emu scene) may be short lived for 3 reasons. 1. As i mentioned i have some building work happening...although im not building it i am organising the plumbing, electrics and woodwork. So when the walls are up im gonna be busy. Bolt on to that while we wait the garden is getting a make over. Playhouse for the little one, flower beds for the wife, a archway entrance to the garden (im upcycling a swing chair frame and im super excited to do some woodwork again) I will be about im sure but maybe more patchy now till winter. 2. The bureau cab build starts when the house is done or before...Think this and transformers...thats what im doing. Lol 3. The final reason is the curse of having a bi-polar mother. I think some of that is ingrained in to me. I have always had a hold on it but there are still those peaks and lulls. WE are at tbe PEAK today. Anyway lunch break finished 10mins ago. I gotta get back to running cables on a building site. TTFM BC Toby

Think this will be my default. Nice nosh

Not those kind of threats silly. (Android promo-I set up a little Discord channel for Android, Nvidia Shield TV and Hyperspin users. If you want to join that PM me) EXCUSE MY SPELLING ITS LATE HERE I have been threatening to buy a subscription for far to long.....I was feeling a little flush so pulled the trigger. I felt guilty watching so many Launchbox YouTube videos and enjoying what this place has to offer. Thanks to @Jason Carr for LB/BB, the dev live streams and news updates while @WoodHawker was away for some reason, can't remeber why he was off but think he mentioned it in the retrun to news video...maybe You have some other people to thank for convincing me to come and pester the good fellows at Launchbox. @WoodHawker for his best ever news video I watched this morning @slipsystem for this little app I really want to get tested on my Nvidia Shield TV this week. (Bigup Slipsystem...cool dude. From Brown Bread, White Bread country) I just got Kodi running well on the Shield (Best thing ever BTW) and this Plugin was a really be draw. @SentaiBrad who originally got me hooked on LaunchBox with the Tutorial videos.......I love a tutorial......... @ETAPRIME you are bossing that job now. Side note that video of the PiTop with your Daughter was great. Love how you got your kids involved and inspired by tech... including your work/hobby with the family is genius @JamesBaker Im coming for those themes....I have had a drought and im thirsty. Shame you moved on from HS but onwards and upwards it seems. @Nyny77 For those Bezels love those...and the other stuff you do @lordmonkus your content is another tick off the list for me....(apologise again BTW) Well that covers most people that made parting with $50 easier and there are plenty of others I didnt mention because its late am my fingers now hurt from typing. You wont see me much for a while because I base myself with Hyperspin Android but LaunchBox is a contender for my cab build next year so setup begins soooooon!! TTFM Toby- Thatman with the Shield- "You know.....Thatman" Sh*tty Promo (last time) emulationguide.com (MASSIVE WIP)

Thanks for clearing that up. Maybe worth adding that line about the hard drive to the 1st post

Thats awesome I have been looking for the command for a while ? But I was actually asking an even simpler question. is the android add-on a standalone android app that replicates Launchbox look and launches games on an android device? im going to go back over the thread and vids.
