  1. Will change to 8 button layout and redo most of it but the artwork stays.
  2. For power buttons I used this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ELEWIND-30mm-Lock-switch-With-on-off-symbol-PM301F-11ZE-Y-12V-S-With-on-off/1769383570.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.5VeAjp You could use the 28mm easily because the ring is actually large and if your buttons are close together it can be an issue. And it works fine for Raspberry Pi but for PC not so much as you want non-latching for PC but a work around it press then press again as soon as the button lights up. Also, just a suggestion to everyone go with an 8 button layout for the most compatibility with recent games...I did a seven button layout originally (see Picture) and changed to an 8. XYLSRS ABLTRT LT = Left Trigger RT = Right Trigger LS = Left Shoulder RS = Right Shoulder Additional Buttons Home, Select, Start I am actually looking to add Left Thumb Stick and Right Thumb Stick to the front of the control panel so that you can full play all games. (see image) I did buy the PS360+ but quickly found that it is limited because no easy switching of Thumb Sticks and D-Pad. So I will end up using a wired controller and build a case for it to allow quick hook ups this way I can build ones for multi platforms because I also run modded consoles in my cabinet. I will post pictures of the modifications and power buttons later if you want to see.
  3. I like @ALIE 's suggestion! As well if some type of image or text that would indicate the Region plus an indicator that there are multiples. This will cut down the list and make it way easier scrolling through 1000's of roms.
  4. @Jason Carr here is a good article it will explain how to implement. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/207642/Video-Shadering-with-Direct-D https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/7ebac14e4737e68033717be72a66e17af8d00bae/gfx/drivers/d3d.cpp Moving forward not sure what Microsoft's plans are but Win2D will expose DirectX functionality without having to know DirectX. https://github.com/Microsoft/Win2D
  5. Thanks, I see you can filter by type as well. Looks like the list needs a Moderator...
  6. Can you point me to the current set of features being worked on. The issues/features database is just a mess right now, which is too bad since if used properly would allow people to vote for features.
  7. lordmonkus, thank you for the reply. Number 5. I think should be a priority. Number 8. Thank You. Number 9, it would be better if it was set on the emulator much like rocketlauncher. Number 10, may not have explained it right or I am still missing something. I would like to import an xml file and then have it compare to the roms I have and then show me what I have vs what I still need to complete the collection. Number 11, I think everyone will have some opinion of this. Mine is simplicity, if I am using big box in my arcade cab I don't want people messing with settings. Not to mention the controller settings are essentially duplicated because there is for launchbox and for big box. Another bit of functionality I would love to see and I spent an hour setting up today was the per core configuration for retroarch. If LaunchBox had functionality like emulationstation (retropie) where you setup your controllers and it updates the settings for each emulator....this would be killer.
  8. Just wanted to say an excellent job so far on this product, it has the potential to be great but needs more basic features. I have included my list just based on my limited exposure to the product and feel free to set me straight if I posted something that is not accurate. Have an Issues Database and a Features Database keep them separate. It makes it easier to find and vote on features vs. bugs. Transition Animations/Screens - starting and exiting game Decompressing Animation/Screen - Show progress with option of cancelling with button press Importing Games - Wizard needs a back button also the option to pause and save progress. Technically it should save every record regardless. More Button Mappings using button combinations. Every keyboard shortcut or mouse option should have a matching button combination. Platform Images - Neo-Geo and Final Burn Alpha show as Arcade. Would prefer if they grabbed the right platform image or have the option to use "Arcade". Custom Bezels - RetroArch and RocketLauncher have this functionality would like to see one solution regardless of emulator. And for the love of GOD no TV bezels. No Background in LaunchBox. I personally don't like this feature where it uses my desktop background. File Extension Filter - sometimes other files exist in the directory when importing roms, ingore them by using only supported file extensions. Platform DB - showing all known roms and spellings so can compare what I have vs what is known to exist. This can be a view option in the Roms List. Big Box should have no options menu, this should all be controlled in LaunchBox. Big Box Start Animation and ability to customize. Cover Flow is too slow on large collections. The default view is the most resource efficient. I know that you (Jason) are not a fan or reproducing functionality that exists elsewhere (like RocketLauncher) by the name kinda implies it is a launcher and therefore needs certain functionality that exists in RocketLauncher.
