Is there a reason these files are being hosted on an external site and not here ?
Yes I'm sure. I hosted it on my development space before I posted here and shared it here by opening this thread. I tried hosting it here but it created a seperate thread and with spreaded comments it was a huge inconvenience, so I kept it external.
That red screen in chrome even shows up on custom made game trainers. It's due how the program is made.
My program closes explorer.exe and checks if a proces is running (bigbox), it's only natural to raise flags, as virus scanners cannot always get the innitial intent of the program.
As the program is realy for a specific use and fairly simple I have not taken any steps to prevent this. There is no malicious code.

looks like just what i was looking for BUT virus warning
It's a false negative. You can allow it in your anti virus. It's because it closes explorer.exe. nothing to fear

Hey aagon
Just seeing if Version 1.1 is out yet. Really looking forward to using this!
Main program is written, writing the final bits on the installer (no more fiddeling around with files or version). You can choose if you want the explorer edition or the arcade edition at install, no more false virus alerts.

Hi aageon
Is there any progress on the Big Box Launcher as I use windows defender as my virus protection & for some reason even though I set all Big Box Launcher files as exemptions it keeps removing them.
I am working on it yes. I'm fully rebuilding the code and adding extra's. The release of v1.1 will be close, it will also fix the false negatives.
What's new in version 1.1:
- One main program for both Explorer and Arcade edition (selectable on first run)
- Your own artwork isn't bound on the resolution of the program, instead it will scale the program to your own artwork resolution
- No more false negatives and removal by your anti-virus
- Less crashes and several bug fixes
-
I will be updating this soon with another version that doesn't need the kill.exe anymore(kills explorer.exe) (some virus scanners see this as a virus...).
This results in a program crash (lazy me ;)). So I'll be fixing this.

your anti-virus removed the kill.exe from the folder. make sure you add the folder to your allow exceptions. I'm fixing this in later versions of the software.

No virus in these files, if you get a fals negative, just allow it.

Oooh, looks like I got a HTPC at just the right time for all the great stuff that is going on with LaunchBox and community created apps like this! Great work! Once I have configured everything the way I like it (probably 25 years from now
) I will definitely use this.
I would also like to be able to exit to Windows as I will still need to do PC stuff every once in a while on it.
Great
! Well the explorer edition is the correct one for you .

it is for my cab but need to get to windows aswell to add game and other stuff i had to boot up in safe mode to delete the short cut in start up,so i could get back to windows.
I'll make an extra version that when you exit BigBox, explorer restarts and BigBox doesn't reboot
All my Roms and emulators are set, so I don't need windows much, but will add a version next weekend for the other people.-

Looks like a useful program for some people.
Could you upload this to the downloads section of the forums in the Third-party Apps and Plugins section ? You manage updates that way easier as well.
http://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/5-third-party-apps-and-plugins/
Done, but it seems like it made another thread aswell?

how do i get back into windows if i exit out of bigbox i just keep booting back in to bigbox.
at the moment only when you manually exit bigbox, just click on the program: hit ALT + F4
If there are some people interested in an alternative version without the restart I can whip one up. The restart is mainly for Arcade cabinets.

Any suggestions or features for the next few updates are welcome.
I will clean up more code and enhance some features as I move forward with some updates. -
Big Box Launcher v1.0.1
An Easy BigBox Launching Tool
What is BigBox Launcher
BigBox Launcher is an easy to install tool for Windows 7/8.1/10.
It's aimed at Arcade cabinets and HTPC's.
It's a tool I made for my own bartop :).
What does it do?
Arcade Edition:
* Kills explorer.exe at startup
* Launches BigBox
* Scans for BigBox while using almost no extra memory
* If BigBox crashes or stops unexpectedly the tool wil auto. restart and relaunch BigBox (No keyboard needed!)
* Customizable program background to fit your cab (JPG)
Explorer Edition:
* Kills explorer.exe at startup
* Launches BigBox
* Scans for BigBox while using almost no extra memory
* If BigBox crashes / stops unexpectedly or you close it manualy the tool wil auto. restart explorer (No keyboard needed!)/
* Customizable program background to fit your cab (JPG)
How to install?
- this is the only time you'll need a mouse/keyboard:
- download and extract all the files in a folder of your choosing.
- make a shortcut of Big Box Launcher.exe
- place the shortcut in your startup folder
(example: C:\Users\dennis\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\)
- launch Big Box Launcher.exe with administrator rights!
- navigate to your Launchbox Folder and select BigBox.exe-done
Background Customization

Hi All!
First post and well what better then to start with a little project I've had over the summer. (running Launchbox ofcourse).GameCenter: My Selfmade Bartop Arcade
I'm a 28 year old programmer/graphic designer and always loved gaming. This summer I wanted to make something: A bartop arcade of my own design with a fully serviceable design and a full blown PC inside. Pretty happy about it.

So what do you guys think?
