I have just looked it up on amazon, and i actually looked at that one before but was a bit wary as it was so cheap (currently £49 but was closer to £30 the last time i looked) Thats the one that i can plug a ps4 controller into it and it would work on my consoles as well right?

Well i have never had a arcade stick but i desperately want one for mame, so you would both recommend the Mayflash F300 then? May have to look into that.

You could use this program to update Retroarch, it works very well.

Yeah, i am using @slipsystem Kodi importer to import my Movies and TV Shows into launchbox. Of course the screenshot had to be X-Files related.

F1 on the keyboard or often the Guide button on a xbox controller, you can change it in the input menu.

Yeah i get ya, i actually really like that idea. I don't ever recall anyone else asking about that before, so it may be a first. Again best bet would be to request it via the issues/request's button up top.

Ah OK i see. Unfortunately i don't think that is possible, it needs to be separate videos or Launchbox won't play them. You could always add a ticket for that feature by going to issues/requests in the site header and requesting this feature be added. Don't forget to vote on your own ticket, and put the link in here so others can vote on it as well if they like the idea.

If i understand you correctly then you can have multiple versions of the same video in the playlist folder. Just copy and paste the video into the playlist folder, then copy and paste that video again and rename it. So you would have the same video several times but with different names like, shooters, beat em ups, fighters etc.I hope that is what you meant.

Thanks @Vlansix, i thought if i mentioned you, you would pop in to clarify that for us. Cheers.

Also i thought @Vlansix was adding the guidelines to the specific database sections, but i'm not sure if that is actually implemented yet.

I didn't read the whole thread @DOS76 i was just replying to this quote,

I think i am right in saying that Arcade uses Flyers as the main image.

Yeah i was playing Mario Kart last night on my 8inch windows tablet, which is very low powered. I was using BigBox and snes9x through Retroarch and it was running just fine.

Are you using any shaders in retroarch? Some of them are pretty heavy.

Excellent update as always @slipsystem, i now have clear logo's and theme music in BigBox, thanks again.

Hey @Grila, sorry i know you have been busy lately but i have a quick question if you don't mind? I have imported my Movies and TV Shows into bigbox and am using fundemental, but on my TV Shows i don't have trailers so i just have a big open space in the middle of the screen (see pic) I was wondering if it was possible to edit the xaml to fall back to Fan art Background if no trailer is available. Is this even possible? If so some tips would be very welcome. Thanks again for this excellent theme. Edit: Sorry never mind, i found a workaround by copying the background images to a different image folder and that works fine. Sorry to bother you, carry on.

When you use the add button you will get this window, there is a application path, just use the browse button next to it to navigate to your shortcut. Then at the top right of that window is a platform dropdown change that to windows or whatever you want it imported as then use the search to find the game. look at this screenshot to see what i mean it's just application path, platform and then search for game.

Of course, just use the add button at the bottom right of the window, or drag and drop a shortcut onto the launchbox window, Just make sure you tell it to import to the correct platform.

You can also import the games to launchbox but don't scrape any media as of yet. Then use the audit feature in launchbox on the platform you imported and sort by region, that will group all the games by regions then you can just highlight say all the Japanese games right click and delete. When you have all the games you want removed, just go back to your platform in Launchbox and use ctrl a to highlight them all then search for metadata and images. Doing it this way you will only scrape data for the exact roms you want in launchbox, and wont have any foreign language games in there. Edit: you can also "weed out duplicates, unlicensed, homebrews, pirated, etc." games in the audit form also, just by sorting by those categories.

Nice!!

OOHH there is a couple of you uploading spectrum stuff is there? Awesome i have so much missing art its unbelievable. Keep it up.

Also just to add, i am pretty sure Nintendo Wii U is in the platform list, but if you do import any platforms that are not in that list you can just manually type in the name. Just don't use the dropdown and type a name in the empty box as it is a new system the wizard will ask you what you want to scrape as. For example I am in England and we didn't have the Sega Genesis here it was the Sega Megadrive which is not in the list, so i manually type Sega Megadrive, then the wizard asks me what i want to scrape as and i choose Sega Genesis.

Yeah i got it in a humble bundle as well, i believe with Guacamelee as well.
