I second this guy above! ^^^ Mr Saunders, is that the plugin that adds "Random Game" to the options in BigBox and you have to go "back and forward" into it to get next game?

***Update.... I didn't add my Steam address properly. So always check your Steam address is entered into LaunchBox properly kids! lol

I get that, but "Random Game" in BigBox is just such a glaring omision in my opinion. It's just so basic. I'm sure many of us here could just sit for ages pressing "next random game". I know I do** You have all this complex stuff being added into LaunchBox all the time and this little basic thing will just get left behind. **BTW. I have an old plugin DLL that was made by Grila, from quite a few years back. It adds Random Game to the BigBox Options menu. The downside is that you have to go "Forward and Back" into it everytime to go to next game. It still works in the latest LaunchBox. Again, it is just not as ideal as clicking "next game" or whatever but it's the best we got. I don't think it's up for download here anymore. If anyone wants a copy, and Grila is ok with it, I can send via PM. OK, C-Beats, thanks for the swift reply! (Sorry if I sound like an ungrateful Karen, I don't mean to)

But why though? Is this hard to implement or something? This feature would be better than the myriad of other features added since LaunchBox' inception. Some of which are not very useful.

Does the latest LB also import the "Time Played" from Steam too? (I've done a clean install of LB, imported 4 games, and the Time Played is showing as Zero. I've linked up my Steam account as only showing Installed Games) (On another PC, I'm sure that the Time Played was imported from Steam) Any help would be great. Thanks.

Fragnator is awesome, mayn! Just sayin'

These are my ScummVM videos. They are from around 2019 so they may not be completely up to date: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1qcug4n3612a6ovnewgdk/ScummVM-Video.7z?rlkey=5cg9wgqr312q5cn7mcajo7udt&dl=0 (Click the Download Arrow at the top of the screen, rather than the one in the middle. The middle one doesn't work for some reason)

Just looked at my BigBox.dll and it's 8.17mb in size, dated 22-8-2021 (8-22-2021)

Personally, I have LaunchBox and Assets (Box Art, Videos, Clear Logo etc) on an 2TB SSD and the ROMS on a HDD. I used to have the whole lot on a HDD until just recently getting that 2TB SSD and it has made quite a difference in speed.

I looked in my running processes in Windows Task Manager and noticed "LaunchBox.exe" -recovery" running alongside the main LaunchBox exe. I just wondered what this is and is it normal as I've never seen this before. Thanks in advance.

I'm going to guess no. It's quite old now. Author hasn't been online since Sept 2022.

@Aeins Send me a PM just so I know you're still around. I'm pretty sure I have this set lurking around on my Games PC. It's Thursday today... I'll dig it out for you and upload it at the weekend. Just promise not to post any more requests in any other threads lol

@UnderwoodNC Calling Underwood! The post above! ^^^ :-)

Has anyone got Mile High Pinball and Hooked On: Creatures Of The Deep running on this?

*sighs* Yeah, yeah you're right. More and more games now are Windows 10 only. RyuJinx emulator has also gone Windows 10. You get so hooked into an OS that when it comes time to upgrade, it feels like a skin transplant 😞

I'm scared to touch Flashpoint again. Around September 2020, I'm sure I picked up the Ramnit Virus from it. It was either from Flashpoint or IMGBurn. After detective work, I narrowed it down to these two but could never be decisive about which one.

I just found this on the eXoDOS site I don't know if this would be any use to you.

Yeah, just checked their site (obvious really lol). Damn, no more Windows 7 builds. I'll leave this here incase anyone else is too lazy to check their site 😉 Minimum # Operating System Windows 8.1 or newer (64 bit) Ubuntu 18.04/Debian or newer, Arch Linux, or other distro (64 bit)

@Zombeaver is king of running these old PC / Windows games. (I hope he doesn't mind me calling him out)

Is it true that this version of PCSX2 doesn't run on Windows 7 64-bit? I've tried it on mine (independent of LaunchBox) and it doesn't even open.

GameEx used to do this with MAME, as a Screensaver. It was quite a cool feature but it was more of an Attract Mode really. I got to know plenty of MAME games this way that I otherwise wouldn't have booted up.

I just want a very simple thing... and that is for BigBox to have an option in the Game Details to open a web search in the default browser based on the games name. This would save me 100 million hours creating and importing .url shortcuts as Additional Apps for every individual game. Just this sneaky little feature would make me so happy and save me a lot of time. I'm sure other users would like this feature too? My voice got drowned out in the last poll I participated in (2019 I think).

Yeah, like C-Beats said, the HD videos from EmuMovies will take a bit of time. They can weigh in around 60mb each. The problem with EmuMovies / LaunchBox before this update, was getting the list of results from EmuMovies which could take minutes at a time.

Well, I was doing a lot of MAME downloading last night after upgrading my ROM set from 0.149 to 0.233. I did lots of single games and the speed has been great! The speed was painfully slow just two weeks ago when doing games singularly. Latest LaunchBox version here and in the UK.

I have about 100 different instances of GZDoom. Separate ones for each WAD. Inside each folder, I have the shortcut file with the command lines and it's those shortcuts that I import into LaunchBox. It's kinda cumbersome, and I'm sure I could save space by not having so many GZDoom's lol
