  1. is your platform name in LB the same as RL? Or maybe it's Arcade in LB but MAME in RL?
  2. here is nomousy.exe in case you are using something else:
  3. Sounds like a bug. You should file a ticket on this. But I think this workaround will work for you. Just add the nomousy app to start with the emulator and end when exiting the game. This will also make it so you don't have to add additional apps for every single Demul game. You open the emulator settings for Demul in LB and go to the Autohotkey tab. Put this in there (match paths to your nomousy location): Run, R:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Demul\nomousy\nomousy.exe /hide $Esc:: { Run, R:\LaunchBox\Emulators\Demul\nomousy\nomousy.exe Process, Close, demul.exe }
  4. I just noticed I don't have any game videos for my PSP collection. Does anyone have an idea if there are ant FREE download SETS out there?
  5. nevermind. tried another game street fighter alpha max and both worked. haha
  6. Just started trying out PPSSPP. Tried Dragon's Lair and noticed I had to move with dpad. Which PPSSPP controller setting if any allow you to also use the analog stick also (xbox 360 or One)?
  7. Same here @Toxic Taz. Just decided to play this with gamecube.
  8. lol. Hey @Jason Carr - what's up with that?
  9. Thanks @Maddoc1007, but controller automation works for me. I wanted to know how to use the volume up/down controller mappings that are not in controller automation settings so my kids can change volume while in BB interface without a combo press and hold like in controller automation. since the settings are there, i'm wondering if they work for anyone?
  10. hey @lordmonkus and @Zombeaver , do controller buttons for volume in BB work for you? for anyone? i am using 6.12.
  11. I'm also thinking about copying my entire LB folder for the kid party and hide everything but some games I think they will like and leave the view in ALL games for all games and emulators. BB has no good way to display a suite of games per audience, sadly.
  12. I get ya @DOS76, but the mappings are there to set. What is it supposed to do or it just doesn't work? Any idea? Edit: I don't allow any settings for BB controller other than to navigate and select and back. This way when I let the kids mess with it, they don't get themselves royally screwed up. I'd like them to be able to set volume up and down as well without a combo. We're having a bunch of kids over for a xmas party this weekend, so I'd like to get this part nailed down. I plan to let them play with the games on the big screen TV in the family room.
  13. What is it supposed to do? I set the BB volume up and down buttons for my controller in BB but I don't see/hear any change in video volume when trying to use these buttons. I also have volume set in controller automation which does seem to work. I didn't think I would need to use the combo controller automation to adjust volume when in BB itself?
  14. Maybe DisplayFusion will help you get what you want: http://www.fixitformeplease.com/2013/02/how-to-play-game-on-one-monitor-and-not.html https://www.displayfusion.com
  15. No my controller does not control LB gui when I have focus in another app or out of LB, but I would not expect it to. Unless @Jason Carr specifically coded this to work somehow, it's surely not the fault of the xbox one controller. Same for games. If the game developer doesn't do something specific for a controller to work with it when not in focus, it should not. So, I'm curious what really isn't working for you? Can you navigate LB when it is in focus? If so, I think it's working as designed.
  16. My xbox one driver version is: xinputhid.sys 10.0.14393.103 (same as yours) So, it's odd that you are having issues with it. Could you possibly have other controller related applications running that might be messing with it?

    Network Drive

    Ok, good info. I guess the doubling of used data is a tough one for me to swallow, aside from the way it works in general. I can see it merits and where it could be useful, although personally I wouldn't use it instead of a SAN or NAS.

    Network Drive

    so its a raid 1? you lose half your total disk space?
  19. ckp

    Network Drive

    Pretty cool @DOS76, although for me, with that much data, I couldn't see myself using it since it has no parity drives or software raid. If just one of your drives go bad in that pool, I think you lose it all, assuming it's striped data (maybe it isn't).

    Network Drive

    Unraid looks very interesting also. It has a really nice feature in that you can add any number of drives, that can even be of different sizes), and it will create a single volume from them all AND it will provide you with RAID protection from any single drive failure as long as you designate your largest drive as the "parity" drive (the parity drive should be a drive size that is the largest you think you will ever add to this storage volume). The parity drive is not part of your usable storage. The coolest part about this is you can use varied size drives and you can add single drives to the system any time you want and it will automatically add that space to what is available to your connected systems. So you get RAID protection plus the ability to expand anytime with no extra work. That is very cool. I have no idea how the performance is, probably nowhere near iSCSI and NFS, but I think it's interesting enough that I will look into it myself for a possible home network storage solution.

    Network Drive

    I guess I should have noted @SentaiBrad, in case you're not familiar, that iSCSI might not be a good solution for you if you want more than one computer to access the data on your iSCSI target (server). It's really just for making the remote network data available as a local drive(s) on one network connected system. If you want multiple systems to access that data, you might try looking into using the NFS protocol instead. Openfiler and FreeNAS offers both. However, I think only Win 10 Enterprise includes NFS support and I don't know if there are any 3rd party NFS clients out there for non Enterprise Win 10. Another good option that might be interesting to you is a Synology or QNAP storage server as I believe they offer iSCSI and NFS and are probably simpler for users to setup and manage. What I like to do for network storage servers is build my own computer, usually a Supermicro tower that has LOTS of good hot swap drive bays and just throw in good cheap hardware parts that are adequate for a file server, like a <$100 intel motherboard, 4-8GB RAM, a usb stick or other small internal storage for the storage OS itself, a cheap multi threaded intel cpu with builtin GPU (here, more cores is better than higher clock rate as opposed to emulation and gaming), a good Intel only gigabit nic (dual nic is better but not necessary), a good power supply capable of all the drives you plan to support, a bunch of big drives. Depending on your performance and redundancy needs, you can opt for a hardware RAID (LSI is best) card, or you can use software RAID from Openfiler/FreeNAS, or you can use no RAID. You will get a much better storage server this way for less than buying any prebuilt storage server. Also if you want to get crazy fast, you could use a 10Gig network card on your PC and storage server and connect them directly with cat 5e or cat 6 cable. Should be able to get them fairly cheap on eBay. I have set these up for VMware ESXi servers using iSCSI so the VMs can run off of the network storage server, but it would work great also for media and game emulation storage. Media and game emulation storage would be much less demanding than running VMs.
  22. So, if I try to use my controller in Launchbox or Bigbox it is in focus and works fine, otherwise I don't have any reason to use the controller if I'm not in LB focus. So, this is a non issue for me. In fact, I would not be happy if my controller only worked inside LB, if I wanted to use it outside LB as well. So, for me anyway, it should only work with the app in focus, but that's just me. When I say driver, I mean the "driver" for the controller. I bought mine just recently, so I assume it's a "2016" version but I have no idea. I'll check the driver version when I get a chance tonight or tomorrow and post that version. As for the controller's firmware, I have no way of knowing what it is since I have not installed the xbox accessories app and I don't plan to at this time. I never tried bluetooth on my xbox one because I don't like bluetooth and I want to be able to connect more than 1 xbox one controller at a time, so I use the real Microsoft usb wireless adapter. I read a lot of nightmare stories about the xbox one, but for some strange reason mine just works with everything I want just like my wired xbox 360 controller did, so I really have no experience with all the issues I read about. I didn't install anything for this controller. I simply plugged it in, Win 10 automatically installed the driver for me and it just worked. The only thing out of the ordinary that I did was to stop xboxstat.exe from running at startup because mine is apparently not compatible with xbox one and would throw up an error on boot. I believe that file would get updated with a good one if I were to install the xbox accessories app, but since everything works fine, I don't want to install it. I sure do hope Microsoft will get this all sorted out for people like you, because it sounds ridiculous and I'm sure sorry that people like you are stuck in such a bad situation for so long when you paid good money to have a working controller.

    Network Drive

    I used free openfiler and freenas the last time i setup an iscsi server. Its just software. Those are free OS images you can install on your storage server PC. I built using PC parts and installed the free OS i mentioned. Then you set it up with your drives.

    controller? are you asking me @SentaiBrad?
  25. ckp

    Network Drive

    If your network storage device has the ability to run an iSCSI server and you create a connection to this with the Windows iSCSI client, I think the performance will be fine if you have a wired gigabit connection between your PC and iSCSI storage server. iSCSI is way faster than plain old SMB network shares and also allows you to trick the OS into thinking the connection is a local drive, so there are no restrictions on installing/running apps or anything else.
