Hi!
I made myself 2 categories, PC Windows Games (more focused on AAA boxed games) and Indie PC Games.
Then I import either the .exe or a shortcut from the game application in launchbox, select import as ROM, and select a random emulator for it which I won't use anyway.
Once done, I select all the PC Games in launchbox, batch edit, and modify the emulator field to be blank.
Done! Works for Steam and non-steam games : )

@davyfreeman Wow, incredible work on your imgur link! Top notch quality, congrats ! (and thanks, I discovered some titles I wasn't aware of)
-
@ckp Thanks for the explanations! I'll do this.
Yes, you can buy one right now. Seems the next shipment is due to 15th january on the shop where I got mine (Europe): http://www.belchine.net/index.php?id_product=192&controller=product&id_lang=4&search_query=gpd+win&results=1
Please, please, be aware this is a cheaply made chinese product and it requires some tweaking before being 100% happy with it.
Screen is great, controls are great, overall quality is more than ok, but this isn't a ready to use PSVita.
Don't get it from second hand, and only get one from a very trustable shop so you're sure to get the latest model (and pre-tested as the GPD QA is very bad)
And be ready to get your hands a bit dirty in the bios: http://boards.dingoonity.org/gpd-windows-devices/gpd-win-performance-guide/
That said, I'm in freaking love with it and would recommend it to everyone looking for an all-in-one lovely not that low specs handled machine.
Running Steam games.
And Bigbox.

Yep, it does wireless screen projection.
I don't have any use of this feature, but it's interesting to know it's supported.

GPU + CPU on a chip.
But there is a real active fan, with a physical swtich (off / midspeed / fullspeed).
I also told the bios to shutdown the system if a specific temperature is reached (80° Celsius).
It never happened for now, and this chipset can go up the 90° without harm.
My hands would burn before the console : )I don't know what miracast is, but you can find a mini hdmi port on the console.
(If you're interested in it, do not buy it from second hand, the very first models had faulty gpu. Get a new model from the last batches. Some shops like Belchine.net even test the consoles one by one so you're sure to get a perfect unit)

Wait it runs GameCube on an Atom that is insane
You'd be very surprised, I even played the latest Resident Evil 7 demo on it this week. It requires some tweaks in the bios, but if you spend a bit of time to max the CPU and GPU, this device is amazing, really. (out of the box, not that much)
I'm not using streaming on it, as storage isn't a issue (64gb ssd + 128go usb mini stick + 128go micro sdcard).
This device screams "Let me run Bigbox", BigBox perfs are very ok even displaying video previews.And thanks to @cpk I should be able to do it now : )

@DOS76 Even if being a super low spec device, the GPD win can be tweaked to run gamecube, wii, ps2 and pretty demanding PC games. But these games need to use 100% of the CPU to be playable. A few programs running in background and you get slowdows / hiccups.
For example, the gamecube games emulated on the GPD Win in this vid use 50hz/Pal versions... NTSC/60fps can't be achieved. It's that tricky. But at the end of the day, you get your Dolphin and Steam library in your pocket (with a Xinput integrated gamepad) and it's awesome:
EDIT: I don't have any link showing BigBox running on the device, but you can find a Hyperspin on GPD Win video here : https://www.youtube.com/user/beatlep/videos
@ckp Ooooooh, very clever! That will do the trick for emulators, thanks a lot! I still have to find a way to do the same thing for PC games, but this is already very nice : )

Hi,
I recently bought a fantastic super small device called GPD Win. It's a windows 10 handled console, shaped as a 3DS, and I'd like to use BigBox on it.
I made some tests, and it runs pretty ok.But this device is very CPU and Ram limited, so I'd like BigBox to be closed after launching a game. Would this be possible? : )
EDIT : should you be curious, more infos on the GPD Win here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gpd-win-intel-z8700-win-10-os-game-console-laptop#/

Should this help, I found it on wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairway_Solitaire ) and also on the MS Store: https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/store/p/fairway-solitaire-by-big-fish/9wzdncrdd4f0
Fairway Solitaire: Web game 2006; PC/Mac December 2007

Fairway Solitaire definitely has (had? at some point?) a drm free PC version, my wife is playing it on my computer on a regular basis : )
That said, Bigfish and Popcap heavily changed their games catalog during the years as they were transitioning to the mobile market (or were bought by bigger companies as EA). Maybe they don't sell it anymore?Oh, also, for the mysterious korean game, sure:

@FistyDollars Pack 3 available! : )
157 new boxes carefully crafted!

Alright, everything has been renamed in a clean way and zipped into a new archive here:
Also, let's give ourselves a pat on the back: we just reached 326 boxes. 326 BOXES! how cool is this? < 3
It means every major indie game title will be now included in the Launchbox database... Mission complete for the most part!
From now it will only be a few boxes to make from times to times to catch up with some titles we could have missed.
Thanks a lot @madfox and @fistydollars, you rock guys!

One more box for the new and lovely Shantae half genie hero game.
Making the huge ZIP pack as we speak : )

@madfox Fantastic last batch! Some of the boxes really surprised me. Superb job < 3
( Note: I had a look at the box you're stuck with... same here. Ingame graphics and the few arts you can find online are super super bad quality, I tried but can't think of anything neither, sorry man : / )
So, I guess that's a wrap. I'll make a big fat ZIP with everything in there, rename every image so they're good for database, and we're set! : )
I think we made one or two boxes twice, so I'll include both versions, Madfox's and mines so people can pick their favorite.
A few last ones from my collection. I remade the Ittle Dew ones as they were not that great on first try, and added a few more games as well. (Akuji was kind of a pain in the butt to make as there is no logo available, nor official artworks, only ingame stuff. But that's a great free doujin to play if you don't know it already)

Thank you so much!
I tried this already, but I was searching for a "none" option in the list.
I never tried to just skip the list, and it worked!Thanks, that was an easy fix! : )

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here, and this feature already exists (?)
How do you fix your PC games once imported so they're not related to an emulator?
( I couldn't find a way to import them without them being related to an emulator at first)
I've unchecked the tick boxes one by one for an hundred of games until now, but it's kind of annoying and I'm sure I'm not the only one to import PC games into Launchbox : )Thank you!

Hi,
The attract mode is a fantastic feature and I'm very glad it's here : )
I'm using it on a regular basis since day one, but this feature is so frustrating: the same game will be picked again and again and again if you're not a massive pirate (not judging) with gazillions of roms in each category. Any platform with less than 40 titles will have this issue very noticeable. If the sound is on, it's very annoying as you hear the same music being cut and played, cut and played, cut and played in a loop.Being related to random, and most people here dealing with full romsets, I understand it's annoying to test. But it doesn't seem very difficult to store the ID of the 3 previously displayed games so the almighty random doesn't pick them again (and again and again) instead of showing new ones. Am I wrong? (maybe I am!)
if you "own" full romsets and want to check at this issue, you will definitely notice it on the Virtual Boy titles (as there are so few).Thanks for reading!

glad it's helpful! : )
i remember someone asked for Pac Man DX and other titles related to "absolutely NOT indie games but kind of, you see what I mean, those littles games there..."
I won't make more of this kind (because they're not indie games, so they're off topic), but here are the ones I had to make for my own collection:

Great!
A few more from both of us and we pack a ZIP so these little things can be included in the database? You're ok with this @madfox ? : )

Also, 2 more boxes:

This is still *very* good!
Great job on the Gunpoint box, I searched for ressources and saw the original assets you used to make it... Perfect!I was browsing the previous boxes we made, and couldn't resign to use the official Stardew Valley one for my personal usage.
Once in big box, it doesn't look like a real box (even if it's the official one)
So I made an alternate version, only for myself. Would you guys like us to include it in the next package, or is the original ok already?Original:

Can launchbox and bigbox be completely shut down after a game launch? (GPD Win)
in Noobs
Posted · Edited by Aurel
playstation games work pretty well yep. And I'm using retroarch + light shaders for 8 / 16 bit systems.
Search on google / video and you'll find plenty of vids showing various emulators on this tiny thing : )
Bigbox is a bit heavy for the GPD Win, I'm using Attract Mode now, another frontend, very light on the RAM , CPU and SSD.
(I still love and use Launchbox/BigBox on my main machine.)
