Hey! first i gotta say i love bigbox. thanks for a sweet program.
So i have just started messing around with web games for my setup and i have found a nice way to do it. So i just wanted to tell you in case you guys did not know of this addon, and want to add new games yourself
What you need:
Web browser games are not made for controller, so it may not be for everyone. I personally allready have quite a few games on my setup that i prefer to play with mouse and keyboard. So i have invested in a Roccat Sova that i use in the coach. ( http://www.roccat.org/nb-NO/Products/Gaming-Keyboards/Sova/ ) This i really really recomend for people that want to play more games on the coach. I use this gameboard with my dos games, some pc games where mouse and keyboard is better that controller such as rts and fps games. And now i also use this for all browser games. It works SWEET and its no hassle.

A web browser exstansionnamed SwiffOut. I was soooo happy when i found this application. It suits my every need. It lets me create deskop shortcuts for all games thinkable that i can find online. I then add it to launchbox under ''Web Browser Games'' catogery. It then launches the game in FULLSCREEN and PERFECT RESOLOTION and i can play it straight away using my roccat sova. And just like that I can add thousands of more games to my bigbox setup
Games you can find pretty much everywhere I reccomend : armorgames and kongregate thousands of games to start from. Games can be found pretty much everywhere else online aswell There will always be new games for you to add to your setup.
Realese date and description i copy from the site where i find the games i add. On most sites you will find a suitable picture that you can use as game picture. If not you can create your own. Videoes you can record with pretty much any recording software when you play the games in fullscreen. I will start this for my own collection soon, but im at about 600 browser games atm so it will take some time.
I just wanted to creat this post to give you some tips for 1000s of new games you can add if you like me alreaddy have added litterally every other plattform out there
My next procets will be adding Android games using bluestacks ( at this site i will find games that i can play with controller : http://androidgamepadgames.com/ ) .
I will also add a catogory for old electionic games aswell i guess This includes game and watch from nintendo but also other electionic games. There are alot of .exe versions of these old games avaivable.
Sorry for my bad english.I dont speak it much. I just wanted to give you some tips if you have gone out of ideas for new systems to add 1000s of browser games, 1000s of android games and 50-100 election games can be added with pretty ease
When im done adding descitption and images for all my games i will post a video our something that shows just how sweet it works
So instead of pressing ''Play'' on the game in BigBox and come to this:
instaed you will go to ''Web Browser Games'' platform, find the game you want to play, press play. And then this will open and you can play right out of the box if you have keyboard and mouse :
