I know LB has gone through multiple version changes.  Haven't had a chance to address

[ImageSearch]

Sorry, at this time I do not have any plans of updating this plugin.    I have removed this from the forum as it is no longer supported in the current LB

Hello everyone:

Does anyone know of a Single Board Computer that can run Bigbox and emulated up to PlayStation 1.  I know ETA Prime has been hard at work reviewing and give Launchbox Updates.   I have ran an alternative front end on PI and Really like to the look and feel of Bigbox.   I had been toying with the idea of doing an out of the case Computer and retro fitting it into an bar-top with a small PC fan in the rear for air flow.    if you have built something or have a suggestion, please share, I am sure there are others that would be interested.

Happy Gaming

Thank you for your feedback....due to my schedule I am unable to maintain this theme.  I have given other user's authorization to incorporate my theme into theirs.   

Their are so many great themes in the forum. That take advantage of big boxes latest version.

Don't know about the glass thing but what you are looking for to skip the initialization is called a no-nag version of MAME there is a guy in the community that uploads one here every month.

 

glass thing??? are you referring to the default artwork located in the artwork folder?

[launch big box at windows startup]

Once bigbox launches press ctrl  alt del and to bring up your task manager from the menu choose File then run

 

In the run type explorer.exe

 

This will bring up your desktop 

You can exit bigbox to now return to your desktop. 

I think bigbox can now run a program on exit.   

[launch big box at windows startup]

Change bigbox.exe back to explore.exe

This is my Controller.    It works fantastic as an 8 way controller (I also will use it with 4 way games without any issues).

Did you try

Text="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.CommunityOrLocalStarRating, StringFormat=N2}

[NJDave71's HelperControl Functionality Integrated]

@viking I would ask @Jason Carr  StringFormat alters the number as is.  You may need a converter that will perform a rounding to the nearest nth decimal.      

[NJDave71's HelperControl Functionality Integrated]

That is my Theme......  You are on the right track and I did the same reading through the Docs on StringFormat.  If i stumble across something i will share it. 

 

[NJDave71's HelperControl Functionality Integrated]

Hello @viking

The Aeon Nox uses the StringFormat to set the Decimal places.  Take a Look at the "CoverFlowWithDetailsGamesView" and find 

  <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/Aeon Nox/Images/etc/score/{0:F1}.png">
       <Binding Path="ActiveGame.CommunityOrLocalStarRating" />
   </MultiBinding>

I have set mine to 1 decimal 3.2564 becomes 3.2.  There are 52 images,
Hope this gives you some insight.   

[When trying to run game Mame says "initializing" then closes]

Excellent... to get your MAME ini  open a Command Prompt window (CMD)  and navigate to your MAME folder where Mame64.exe or Mame32.exe is. 

 

MAME64.exe -cc
MAME32.exe -cc

that will give you a MAME.ini and a ui.ini

[When trying to run game Mame says "initializing" then closes]

That is correct but did it open?

Did you Download MAME from https://www.mamedev.org/

[MAME Rotary Controls]

Does anyone have a complete list of Rotary/Analog games for MAME?

[Mame Tutorial for n00bs]

I am glad that you have that sorted out.

[Mame Tutorial for n00bs]

I took all my artwork zip files  and moved it and left behind  horizont.zip and vertical.zip

in the ini folder i have

vertical.ini
     fallback_artwork    vertical
horizont.ini
     fallback_artwork    horizont

This uses what ever is inside the horizont.zip or vertical.zip

does that help or answer your question?
