Even a newer AMD Ryzen APU would be enough.
I wish I could find one! I was looking for something like 4700G but I know they're still sort of restricting those to OEM PC's (which is why I was looking into pre-builts anyway)
For the most part my storage isn't a problem, on my current system I have Launchbox running off an SSD, but the games are on a big ole HDD. I guess my post was built more out of frustration at the current market, and just was wondering if anyone was having any kind of miraculous luck or knew a product to point to.

Wasn't sure where exactly to post this sorta thing, figured this would be the best place.
Obviously right now is the worst possible time to build a pc. Especially for emulation where it's not really necessary to make the biggest baddest machine to run most systems, yet it seems every part, no matter how old is some ridiculous price.
So, has anyone here had like any luck or suggestions or anything really? Seems like every search leads to another dead end, and I'd just love to have a machine dedicated for emulation that isn't like some overpriced thing.

Hey! Just downloaded this, and the backgrounds for the systems aren't coming up. And yes, I have the Unified theme installed. Just wondering if maybe an update borked it?
Image below to show you what I am experiencing.

This is more of an FYI, than any real help, but I use RocketLauncher in conjunction with LaunchBox.
There is an issue I've ran into where if you are using the Atari800 core, you're unable to use bezels and well... basically all the stuff that makes RocketLauncher worth using. This is because RocketLauncher will always seek out the config file from the config folder instead of .atari800.cfg. And even if you move the file to the config folder, then RocketLauncher will still ignore it over retroarch.cfg.
Not looking for help, just putting it out there for educational purposes.

I swear that at some point there was an option on Launchbox that prevented it from renaming your media. I cannot find it for some reason, and I just wanted to make sure I'm not crazy.

I just recently downloaded the wonderful Unified theme for Launchbox. I used a similar theme style when I was using Hyperspin, so this brought me great joy. However, when using that theme on Hyperspin, I was still using game specific themes for Arcade games. Now the Unified theme uses artwork and displays the video within the artwork, while other users have converted the old Hyperspin themes into videos (actually much like the platform videos for the Unified theme).
I guess what I'm wondering is if there's way to play the game theme video, instead of displaying the art work from the theme? And for the games that do not have a theme video made, that it goes back to the default art work?
Hopefully this makes sense.

No but you can toggle seeing the version next to the game's name in LaunchBox by pressing CTRL + R.
This is basically what I was looking for. So apparently I have excellent timing. lol

Just wondering. I have to imagine this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anyone asking. Just simply wonder if I could change it so that my game titles are "Game (USA) (Disc 1)" for example instead of the title taken from the DB.

First, I'll say that it had been a little bit since I'd booted up Launchbox for tinkering purposes. Maybe since around 7.0?
Anyway, I let it update, started it up, and for some reason all my media is missing except for Atari 2600. Now, the media is all there saved where it should be. I do keep my media in a separate spot than the default. "X:\Launchbox\Media\Images\Artwork 3" is where I keep my box art, for example (Mostly to keep my personal art collection separate from the downloaded media from the DB). I checked through the options for each system, and everything is still pointed where they should be. And if I manually go in game by game and add them it shows up. It just won't refresh and add ALL the artwork back. Mind you I only have Box, Wheel, and Videos for each game separated. I uploaded a couple pics to help explain my point. In pic 1 you can see that I have the box art set to where it should be. In pic 2 it's just showing that the art is in fact in the folder I have Launchbox looking for. And pic 3 is just to show that I have Atari 2600 with the same settings and it is showing the art as it should.

First I'm not looking to break the bank on this, Trying to keep it around the $1000 mark.
My goal: To be able to play up to 6th Gen (PS2, DC, GCN) games at native resolutions without taking any real performance hits. Going for authenticity and portability more so than HD. Also, kind of a pick up and go set up. Easy to plug and play with any modern TV. This will also be the ONLY thing the PC will be used for. No high end gaming, just an emulation box.
Here's the build I'm going with currently:
Case: Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini-ITX
Mobo: MSI Intel Skylake H110
CPU: Intel Core i5 7500K
GPU: ASUS Nvidia GTX 1030
HDD: Western Digital Blue (6 TB)
PSU: Corsair SFX 450 Watt
Plus odds and ends likes OS, Coolers, Fans, Controllers, etc.
So please, if you see anything that's far too under powered for what I'm trying to achieve, or something that's more cost effective, please say so! Thanks!

I used to have "everything" for the systems I bother with (around 25 + arcade stuff). Now I'm trying to narrow it down to just stuff released in USA, and then adding in choice stuff from PAL and Japan over time. The hardest part is finding a comprehensive list of games for every system, which you'd think would be easy.

I can say, I simply stopped having the issue, but I also haven't been shutting launchbox on and off as often either.

Yes this is it ! thank a lot
if you could please remove the blue background, add .ico file so I can put it as an icon and do you have a different icon for the big picture mode ?
and 1 more question do you know any trick to make it last for ever and do not get removed after the program get a new update ?
I launch in Big Box mode, so no, I do not have a different one, but I mean, it's such a simple picture, you can swap colors easily with any paintbucket tool. As for saving it forever? I mean, you could upload it to some sort of cloud service?
Also, I did convert it for you, but when converting to an .ico it shrinks the picture, so I've got the orginal edited picture + and the .ico version.

Don's Tools don't work unless you have a Hyperspin install anyway. Someone was working on a conversion for LaunchBox, but the thread appears to be abandoned.
What about for CD based systems? I love no-intro, but I've never seen anything comparable for say PSX, Dreamcast. etc. I know there's redump, but I don't think those lists are as complete?
-
I make all my own icons for my dock on my PC, I don't know if this is the sort of thing you're looking for?
-
I want to make my own database for my games, and I would like to try to get every game that was released in english if I could. So that includes things from Europe, USA, and wherever. Was just wondering if anyone knew a way to find out this info easily?

Well for starters you didn't give any idea of budget and what you are willing to spend.
I'm not super concerned with budget, but "best cheapest" is kind of the idea.
5 hours ago, lordmonkus said:Second off you talk about 1080 but not concerned about UHD 4K resolution and "running at native resolution for authenticity". That in itself is a bit of a problem since even running at 1080 is well above the native 480 that the PS2, Dreamcast and Wii runs at to begin with. At 1080 you will still be upscaling and losing that "authenticity".
I can clarify more what I mean by that. The media, as in Fades, Videos, etc will all be stuff that looks good on 1080p displays, but the games themselves will run at native resolutions.

I like that a lot, and I think that's more along the lines of what I'm looking for. Actually I was wondering what Cooling you were using, as I see it was a water cooling device.
This is the current build right now, I think it may be a little overkill, so critique and suggest alternatives!
-
So, here's the plan. I want to build something I can take to friends houses, and just work. I'm building it for 1080P displays, using launchbox and rocketlauncher. The idea is to run old school game up till Dreamcast/PS2/Wii. Everything will be running in their native resolutions to ensure a sense of authenticity. So, crazy UHD graphics and such is not a concern.
Size isn't too big of a deal, as it's not terrible to lug around PC with you, but if anyone has any good ideas, perhaps knows a good portable case, I'm all ears.
The idea is to make something cost effective while still having a quality experience.

So are there plans to be able to use our own Databases eventually. My romsets are based primarily on the Hyperspin XMLs.

I guess this is more a question for Jason, but when you launch Big Box, does it launch anything else besides Bigbox.exe? Perhaps there's more than one application that needs to be closed?
-
So, I've ran into an odd issue, and seems to only have been happening in the last few updates (Maybe 7.0? I should have documented that...). I'll be in Big Box mode, and shut it down as normal. The next time I go to launch in Big Box mode, it will refuse to start. And the thing is, this isn't every time, it's only sometimes. Say 1 out of 3 times I shut down Big Box it will not start again the next time I launch it.
I did notice that it still shows up in Task Manager as a running program, even though nothing is happening on screen. But even if I "End Task" in Task Manager, it still will not launch again until I restart my PC.
One other thing, is normal Launch Box is not affected by this at all. It launches and shuts down as normal, no matter what. It's only an issue with Big Box mode.

Nope, still in the middle of getting support from Valve.

Joystick input is set to xinput.

Yep, made sure just now.
I did some playing around in the inputs too.
When I press X while in Retroarch on the Steam Link, it registers that I'm pressing Enter on my keyboard. When I press Circle it registers as Escape.
When I test out my setup on my PC (Start Steam, bring up Big Picture, Launch Big Box, Play game in Retroarch), everything works perfectly fine. I'm using my DS4+DS4Windows+Bluetooth.
It only registers the buttons as key presses when I'm using my DS4 and the Steam Link Bluetooth.
I have to assume it has to do with the configurations.

I'm not sure I'm missing something, For some reason in the overview section, it only shows me 3D box art, but no screenshots or videos or any other media?
