Bigbox is for controller/Joystick use, Launchbox is the general setup UI and is mouse focused, so the controller acts like a mouse there.

Yeah unfortunately i have no experience with joy2key so someone else will have to chime in on that. I actually use controller companion myself but its not free software, it is currently 33% off on steam though so is currently $2/£1.33, https://store.steampowered.com/app/367670/Controller_Companion/ This does exactly what you want by setting profiles for programs that automatically load/unload when a program is run, however its xinput only by default but you can install x360ce from within it, which makes other controllers act like xbox ones. Here is my Bigbox profile.

The problem you will have there is that is likely a mix of xinput and dinput controllers and they map the buttons differently. For example B on the xbox controller the one you reference might be recognized as B or 2 depending on the controller, where as 2 on a dinput controller could be any button even shoulder buttons. So what you are asking is not possible in Bigbox,you can turn on use all controllers but that will assume the buttons are the same on each controller, so B may be back on the xbox ones but not the dinput ones. You could try mapping keyboard buttons to the controllers using third party software so they are all mapped the same, then turn off controllers in Bigbox.

Yeah CC providers will often block transactions in America that are coming from Europe, usually you need to contact them and authorize the payment.

Yes, but the tools allow you to completely re-arrange all the elements of it, so it could look unrecognizable to the original theme if you put in the effort i'm guessing, also i'm betting you could also swap out any images for your own as well. So you could almost design a completely new theme using PASC as the base.

lol @DOS76, snap.

1. Yes. 2. The License is for as many PC's as you own, So i would just say that you bought your son his laptop so it's yours. Of course as you alluded to though sharing your license around will result in it being blocked and you losing any chance to update in the future.

I'm afraid not, it's a business relationship with emumovies, it is what it is. If i'm honest it is probably that way so a user doesnt just get a discount on a cheap monthly license, download everything they can and cancel it.

To many to list, to be honest most of the premium features in Launchbox were customization related only, its bigbox that is the big benefit of a premium license. One of the big new premium features is launchbox themes, like you can see in my image, although there are only two available. You can of course create your own though. Here is the changelog page. https://www.launchbox-app.com/about/changelog

There is a new MAME importer now that by default only imports known working games into Launchbox, i suggest deleting your Arcade platform and using the new MAME importer to only import games that actually work in MAME, you will also get all the new MAME metadata associated with the new importer which is extensive and is used for all the auto generated Arcade playlists if you want to take advantage of those in your build for your cabinet.

For those i believe you need to be in Platform Category view, then just right click a platform and you should see the option to create them, they are not created by default it's a manual choice/option.

I think you will be pleased with the improvements made since 7.4 there have been a lot of them. Enjoy Launchbox.

Just close Launchbox drop your license.xml into your Launchbox folder and re-open it, you will now have premium features.

You cant buy the upgrade until next year though, and who knows if there will be a sale then.

In fact it seems all my Pokemon roms are SGB enhanced, i don't have any standard Game Boy ones.

I just tested with the sameboy core as well with Pokemon Blue, it works in colour for me. EDIT: Scratch that, seems i was using the SGB enhanced version.

OK cool, a lot of people make that mistake, they have that box checked and dont get a immediate prompt, thats because background download will only prompt you to install when it is downloaded, which in my case always seems to be slow here in the UK, it can often take 5 minutes or more to download a update, so it may seem like it is not doing anything.

9.0 is the official release and has been out for over a week, so you should be prompted. My advice, go to tools/options/updates make sure updates is checked and uncheck background downloads, OK it and close and reopen Launchbox you should be prompted at launch to update. You can also choose to turn on betas here, but thats your choice and as they are betas, you can expect to come across issues and bugs if you choose to update to them.

You will still be prompted to update as long as your license is still valid for updates. Alternatively you can do what you did, but make sure to install directly over the top of your current install. The fact that the new one is empty leads me to believe you didnt install to the correct place.

What are you using to play your movies? I use VLC, KODI and PLEX here and all three of those pass dts just fine to my AVR, in fact they pass DTS HD MASTER AUDIO also as well as all the Doldy Digital formats up to Dolby True HD, my AVR doesnt support Dolby Atmos so i cant test that or the DTS equivalent, but as i say everything else gets passed just fine.

All systems, and you can choose what media to delete.

Tools/Clean Up Media.

Add it the same way you would a Windows game, maybe make a platform called Programs for example and add any program you want from you PC to it. You may run into interface issues if the program is mouse only and you have a cab, but there are tools out there to map a mouse to controllers and such.

You could just add a app as a program in Launchbox, it's not games only it will launch any file.
