    Agreed! Loving the Invaders one.

    I tested this software some time ago, it is very lightweight and does not require configurations. I know a lot of users having good results with it, but cannot vouch completely as I am not currently using it. I have two arcade sticks and two 360 joysticks hooked up to my minipc. BigBox reads them all 4 natively, so no need to configure anything there. I play all console and handheld games with the 360s through RA, so nothing to configure there either. For MAME, I set an AHK in BB to trigger JoyToKey at every game launch, and then killed at close (so it does not interfere with the rest of the Computer games that use the keyboard). I set in JoyToKey a forced order of the arcade sticks and 360s, and I have the default.cfg mame file as read only, and set there already which joystick and arcadestick I want to control with what. So basically, I managed to get a fixed joystick order without 3rd party apps. I do not go unhooking the devices, so would not know if plugging/unplugging them mid-play would affect their order (should not).

    Vector Magic saved me a lot of times. If you have an hq source, and like seaview said you are able to modify its values so the logo or relevant section gets differenciated from the rest, it will save you some good amount of time. Only downside as you might know is that it gets tricky using it when working with gradient images/photos.

    THANK YOU Monkus! Updated to Win10 some time ago and this was driving me crazy (I still have my 360s for the FE miniPC). Disabling the game bar did not do anything for me, so it seems that the 360s are not fully compatible with the 2018 driver. In case somebody is facing this and they do not have more drivers to choose from in their machine, you need to go to the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows download page, and get the Win7 exe file (if you don't want to run the installer and stuff, easy way is to just open the exe with WinRAR, extract the Win7 folder from there and point the driver update to that folder).

    Lust, you are awesome. Period If you are creating/modifying the flyers/ads, you could release the 2D covers as well afterwards.

    Amazing! Eagerly waiting for the Computers Category! Looking incredible

    Good job @Pat. I recommend you to create a File in the Downloads section with this, and add some preview images of the startup and shutdown; more users will see it and download it

    Very nice work! Some of those features will surely help speed up the process for users to get and manage their media. I will keep an eye on this topic.

    Thank you @syntax_X for the tuto! Saved me a lot of time.

    Emumovies was moving all its Downloads content to a new server these past days, so if you experienced problems during the scraping in logging into your EM account, or getting the media, might have been because of that.

    Glad it worked for you However I meant vbs, because that is the file that I compressed in WinRar, and the SFX needs to call for the file inside WInRar. If it is working for you with the bat extension, maybe it is because you zipped the bat file and not the vbs one? Or you are simply running the bat file directly (and in your case you dont need the vbs file at all). Nevertheless, enjoy!

    Here you go @jjk73: Create a .bat file with all the stuff you want to run on launch. Be careful! The second to last line has a /wait in it, so the last line that launches the explorer.exe waits to be triggered. Example: @echo off start /min "" "C:\Tools\Scripts\Blah.bat" start /min "" "C:\Portables\Blah2\Blah2.exe" start /min /wait "" "C:\Users\USERNAME\LaunchBox\Bigbox.exe" start explorer.exe Let's name the above example startup.bat Then open another notepad and add the following line: CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "C:\the path for your bat file\startup.bat",0,True Make sure to change the path I wrote to match your previously created bat file. Rename this file as a .vbs instead of .txt and close (i.e. startup.vbs). Now, you need to have WinRAR in your machine. Right click on the created vbs file, and select "Add to startup.rar". Once created, open it. You will see the vbs inside the rar. Then click on the SFX icon in the WinRAR toolbar. In the SFX creation window, choose the Windows GUI module from the list and click on the Advanced SFX options button. In the options window switch to the Setup tab, and type in the name of the batch file in the text field Run after extraction (in this example was startup.vbs). Switch to the Modes tab, select Unpack to temporary folder checkbox and then select Hide all option from the Silent mode section. Click on the OK buttons two times to close the open windows and create the EXE. The newly created EXE file is saved in the same folder as the RAR file containing the vbs file. All done! You can now go to Windows > Run > gpedit.msc > User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Custom User Interface, and select "Enabled" and type below the path to your exe file. The good thing of doing it like this, is that you can modify the bat file however you like (adding and removing apps to be launched on startup), and the vbs and exe file will not need to be tampered with. If for some reason does not work for you, you can always do Ctrl+Alt+Delete, select Task Manager, run new task, select explorer, and then go back to gpedit.msc and disable what you did. Hope this helps!

    Hey Claudio, the disc was a picture grabbed originally as it is from the web, I only removed some circled text, made the transparencies and added the scummvm logo. You can simply slide the hue in PS and change the yellow color to the one you want

    Hey guys, I know this is an old topic, but just wanted to share that I just finished finding a solution to launch Bigbox shelled instead of explorer, WITH the possibility to launch as many stuff as you want with it (i.e. 3rd party apps), without the need of explorer (as without explorer running, the Startup folder does not work). And if Bigbox is closed, then explorer is launched automatically. I started creating a bat file with all the stuff I wanted to run. The problem was that when explorer is not running, bat files open a command prompt that is visible, so I created a one line vbs file that simply calls the bat file, that way everything is hidden. Second stopper was the sheller, as Windows does not accept a vbs file as a shell, so I had to put the vbs file into a simple exe extractor (with the help of two steps in WinRar). So, basically, this process involves an exe file used as the shell, that simply triggers a vbs file that triggers a bat file with all the stuff I want to load on startup. The bat file also has a line to launch explorer.exe once Bigbox is closed, so if I need to go to the Desktop Mode instead of shutting down the machine, explorer will come up in a couple of seconds. I know that it is not very common for users to launch more than BigBox on start, but if anybody finds this helpful, let me know and I will share the files content.

    Ditto. Do not worry about it If it's doable, awesome; if it's not, still awesome.
  17. Kondorito
    Jason, do you think the "All" not showing the total amount of games, and the searching term reducing the total number of games in the platforms left pane could make it to this release? It is not a deal breaker at all, just curious.
  18. Kondorito
    Done.

    Version 1.0.0

    This is a ScummVM discs pack that goes along very nicely with Klopjero's 3D boxes REDUX set. Bear in mind that even though they have LaunchBox nomenclature for their naming, a lot of these files could not match the ones in your set, as ScummVM has different naming conventions. I am adding in here a clear disc (named #Base.png) for anybody to add any clear logos they want. Enjoy! Example: In action:

    Wall, these are front faced discs, they are already in 2D XD

    Pack fInished! Need to leave now, but will upload it in a couple of hours. My Set has 240 games, so I will also add the clear disc for anybody to add any games logos they want.

    Just finished adding ScummVM with all the media to my set, and since I am using the Unified theme, it feels kinda empty without any cart/disc, so I am making a disc set that goes along with Klops boxes. Preview: The Curse of Monkey Island (CD Windows English)

    Thanks for the quick reply. I believe I have the last revision, nevertheless I will redownload it. The above scenario I got the error, I managed to get a couple of videos downloaded, and then it brought the message, so maybe it has to do with specific videos, idk. Will check and let you know if I encounter further issues. Thanks.
