Retrofrogg

Just wondering how the work is progressing here

Love the overlay effect for these old games. Would change the background to something more nostalgic though, like a dusty shelf or something

Any updates on the integration agenda here? Been 5 months since the last post. Great work eXo BTW.

Any updates here? Bootcamp is fine but it would be nice to see a native Mac solution.

Certainly, here it is: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/PC-Video-Games/New-2013-Neo-Arcade-stick-Controller-STOCK/B00B85XKU8/ref=sr_1_sc_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1484750027&sr=8-4-spell&keywords=neogeox Or: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Neogeo-x-Arcade-Stick-For-Use-with-the-Neogeo-x-Station-Only-NEW-/351934494632?hash=item51f0ee37a8:g:iNAAAOSwnHZYU6qc Or: http://neogeox.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=51 Or: http://www.superufo.com/products/snk/SNK_NeoGeo_X_Arcade_Stick.html Hope his helps! I haven't tried it without the USB adapter as my machine is USB-C only. I will try it on another machine in the house, hopefully later today, and let you know.

Or shall I send you mine

In fact it is possible to have a hierarchical system for the platforms, e.g. Consoles / First Generation / Individual Systems Consoles / Second Generation / Individual Systems Kind of like Quickplay does (which has an inferior interface but good features):

Would be great to have platform categories. Like to have a few top-level platforms like "consoles", "arcade", "computers", "handhelds" etc and then the actual platforms within those. Is this possible?

I've just started experimenting with themes. I like the Big Couch theme, and like the retro video set. When I put them together, it doesn't quite fit: How can I get the video to enlarge slightly to fit, and why is text being cropped off the left? This is how it should look: Thanks!

That did it, many thanks! Great looking theme. Pity it doesn't have themes for the Atari systems or CPC464.

Just looking for some help with installing a theme. I downloaded the file, unzipped the contents into a folder in the Themes folder of Launchbox, then selected the theme in BigBox. However, I get this: What am I doing wrong?

One of the default skins? There is only one default skin in my BigBox menu and it's called "default"? Edit: my mistake - I see that Abstract-Kevlar is one of the skins in your download. I can find it in the folder. Line 52 of the AOStyles.xaml reads: <System:String x:Key="AOSkin">Abstract-Kevlar</System:String> Now what do I do? Do I need to install Visual Studio?

Do I just unzip all the files and put in Minimal-AO directory in themes, and then select it in BigBox? I don't need to install anything else?

I might have chosen the wrong folder before. I chose the right one this time, and it still doesn't look right:

It's Launchbox 7.4.

I've only recently installed Launchbox and this is the first time I've tried to install a theme. I have Minimal-IO in the themes directory and selected that in the Big Box menu.

I did that, but it doesn't look anything like in your pictures! I downloaded all of the files for this theme and extracted into the themes directory. After selecting your theme, it looks like this:

Where's the intructions? How do I install this great looking theme?

Thanks for the further replies. I tried anti micro but funnily enough it doesn't see the joystick. Sounds like anti micro would be more hassle than it's worth anyway! Sentai - yes I tried with and without the use all controllers option - no difference. Jason - yes I can image that it could be. It's a fairly cheap joystick - why don't you buy one and you can look into it? I can image that there are other Launchbox users who would like to use the Neo Geo controller.

Any advice here from the mods/devs?

I just fiddled around with it some more. It is listed as a HID-compliant game controller in Device Manager, and if I go to Game Controllers in control panel, it is listed there (as NEOGEOX Arcade Stick). If I click on properties there, I can test the controller and all inputs seem to be registering no problem. Still doesn't register in LB or BB!

It's great that Launchbox supports various media images; I have a few suggestions for improvements; 1. For the image type, please add cassette (outside), cassette (inside) and cassette (or tape) to the options, to cover older cassette-based systems. 2. Have a button which brings up the art browser (instead of having to right-click on the game and then go to "view images"). I know that there is a keyboard shortcut, but many don't use these (including guests using the app). I would suggest a prominent button in the game details pane. 3. An improved art browser. It would be nice to have a sidebar with thumbnails of the individual images available, rather than the image taking up the full window. 4. The "edit images" part of the edit window is small, cramped and fiddly. It would be worth adding another window/tab and expanding on this. Cheers!

Very nice! One comment - the text on the right looks a bit bunched up and squeezed, with the system selection bar on the left having quite a lot of space. Maybe the text on the right can be given a bit more room?
