hi guys - Just imported my steam library inot Launchbox. Is it possible to not need to be connected to the net when wanting to play steam games from bigbox mode (my arcade is off grid). And secondly, i realise the games are purchased and distributed via steam, but once downloaded is there a way to play them without having to load up steam or have it running in the back ground? Cheers

Hi GUys - having a problem configuring jconfig to accept button presses on my arcade panel (that is connected via ipac). The only way is to select the "getasynckeystate" option, but this has a predefined keyboard set of inputs - for instance WASD for up down left right, where as my ipac is the directional arrows. i was thinking of writing an AHK script changing say W to UP, can i load in Launch box and it adds this script for this game ONLY?.... So i want launch box to start the SFV application, but also start JCONFIG, and ALSO start the AHK script too? is all this possible?.. Have i even made sense! thanks

hi HeadRush - So i i have demulshooter working, and ALMOST have Virtua Cop perfect. it is reading my Xbox pads, has cursors on screen all works well.. Apart from one thing... Even after calibrating the "guns" in Virtua Cops test menu it seems as though there is an elastic band attached to the bottom right of the screen. you can move the cross hair around fine with the analogue stick of the xbox pad however when you let go it flies back to the bottom right and doesnt stay naturally where it was. Its SO close but this makes it a deal breaker. Im sure it looks like its a gun calibration issue but have been in and out of the Gun test menu so many times i cant see what it could be. Any clues much appreciated!!!!

thanks headrush!! Crikey never head of Demulshooter before!! perfect will check it out, thanks very much

Update: Just need assistance on virtua cop and HOTD with xbox pad please. Fixed the other odd issue. For those that dont know, you need to untick Analogue Brake and Accelerate, leave Analogue Axis-X for steering.. However change "UP" to be your accelerate button, and "Down" to be brake.. All works fine then. thanks

Hi guys - I am trying to set up Sega Model 2 for my cab. Some games which dont require analogue im using my control panel (Dead or alive etc) - but for the majority like Daytona etc i want to use my Xbox pad. When starting the game, configuring controls it actually seems insane and does nothing like it should. I tick analogue X and Y axis.. Even though i would like Triggers for acc and brake but thats another matter. When i seem to have things set up i go into the game and it just wont accelerate, or just violently brake.. Its nuts.. If anyone can offer some advice that would be great.. The next problem will be assigning the cross hair on games like Virtua Cop and HOTD to the analogue stick. At the moment its stuck to mouse input, and i dont want a mouse on my machine. thanks all

Thanks Retro, i thought the same. All i did was add the playlists that were found within say the "Arcade" category, seems to do most i could

Hi. My bigbox starts in unified and has arcade, and all 40 odd platforms listed in the wheel. However. I switched to "platform categories" and i like the "consoles" wheel.and its associated video. Is it possible to plop this "consoles" into my main "platform" wheel? Tried messing around in launchbox and cant see how

hi guys - probably a simple one here, since adding a 3+4 player wheel every time i start bigbox it starts with that wheel. I want it back the way it was on "Arcade classics" and the nice music that plays along with that wheel. Probably a tick box somewhere ive unticked thanks

Hi guys So goldeneye,when i try multiplayer on 2players (not tried 4) player 1 is perfect however player 2 doesnt seem to render. Seems like you are floating in the sky. No world or anything. Any ideas!?

Oooh get out of town Charco!... That "4 player" one is spot on. Probably the best im going to get eh, wish it said 3 and 4 player. But i dont think im going to get it am i. Awesome thanks

Hi thanks Robin. Really appreciate your reply, however the 4p video seemed to only be consoles, perhaps it looked like.n64. Im after arcade only really. Cherry on top would also be 3 AND 4 player.

Does a playlist video for "3+4 player" exist guys?

dont spose anyone has any videos they can recommend as my "multiplayer" / "3-4 player" wheel thing? Would be much appreciated!

hi Kinky, well, crikey that has to be one of the most wonderful and thought out tips ive had. Alot of time has gone into that and i massively appreciate it, thank you. I will give this a go to see how it pans out, great stuff!

Funny i did think about doing that if the problem was worse. however its only Battletoads, great game but everything else is spot on pretty much

Just for your own notes... This worked QUITE well... only multiplayer game i had an issue with was Battle toads - there doesnt seem to be ANY other Mame roms apart from btoads.zip available, so, sod it.. All the rest work great

hi all - i have made a playlist for all 3 and 4 player games on my machine. however when going into bigbox, unified, it looks rubbish so i need to freshen it up a little. Can anyone recommend me a nice "Multiplayer" type back ground video i can use when highlighting it on my systems wheel?. Also, any good clear logos for this wheel title etc would be greatly appreciated thanks a million

OR maybe if i find a different English speaking region then that should work! Ah-haaaaa....!

Read Only Memory, of course... hmm seems like it may not be possible after all. Thats frustrating thanks tho Neil

Just thinking out aloud here... Perhaps the only way to do this is have 2 copies of the rom but in different folders the one where the Dipswitches are set to 4P are in One folder, and the other where the dips are set to 2P in another folder

Sorry one last question - for games where you dont need a 2player or 4player rom. Say Wrestle fest where you change the Dip switches... can i duplicate a Rom and for each set the dip switches accordingly? Reason for all this is i have 2 xbox pads on the front of the machine. So when its a party and 4 players want to play then great, however if just 1 or 2 people want to play then they dont want to be stuck with Marge on the 1player side, so the 2player rom option is very handy. Cheers

guys this is ideal, thanks very much for both your help

hi guys - in my Arcade wheel... i would like the 2player rom right next to the 4player version. So for instance - Simpons to look like it shows up twice however one is 2p and the other is 4p. Currently the 4player rom is in my library, if i simply drag in the 2p varient would it add alongside or overwrite my existing 4p rom? Cheers

Hi all So all of sudden after doing a simple copy of my launchbox folder loading dolphin via bigbox works fine however when i ESC out of a game it crashes and i need to get the keyboard out to task manager it or alt tab back to big box. Using vulkan, and onboard apu with the ryzen 2400g. Used to exit completely fine. It seems to have reset itself as i had to redo the xbox controller remaps. Odd one but any help hugely appreciated gang. Thanks
