Thanks bud! I'll give the first one a try I know I can hide games easily but I'm looking to hide whole platforms from the front end. I know I can do so within the XML, just would be nice to be able to do so easily from the front end. Thanks again!

hi guys, i think i'm going to jump back into launchbox (bigbox in particular) this weekend, it's been a while since it's been a while, i thought i would check in to see if there are easy ways to do these two things: hierarchal menu levels. i know i can start with high levels like "arcade", "consoles", etc. but is it possible to drill down further? i'd love to be able to drill into consoles, then have sub categories like sega, nintendo, atari, etc. and drilling into each of those would have associated platforms easy way to hide platforms? i have two master XML files, one for me with everything, one trimmed down to hide specific platforms when folks come over (i just rename them accordingly). i'd love to just have a "hide/unhide" option for platforms within bigbox so i can easily, well, hide and unhide platforms. i think i've asked this before but it was a while back and i'm jumping back in this weekend so just thought i'd check

yeah and i have increased the dead zone. i'll try again and maybe go a bit larger

hi all, I have u360 sticks all the way around and have been running into a weird issue. when scrolling and i stop pressing the stick, scrolling will continue. i have to wiggle my stick to get it to stop there are times when i'll start big box and the game list will just start scrolling on it's own. again, a few stick wiggles seems to get it to stop any thoughts on what i can do to fix? thanks!

hi all, is it possible to do more than one mame imprt, each set for a new platform? i'd love to be able to to import specific game types (i.e. mechanical, mahjong, etc.) as their own platform instead of playlists within mame. thanks!

i got a weird one... in blinky set up, specifically OG space invaders, i set up two buttons for left/right, and they light up correctly in the config software. however when i start the actual game, two different keys are illuminated. this one had me stumped!

hi guys, wondering if this is possible in big box. i have my master list that has all available platforms. but when i have kids over, i will swap out the master xml list (don't remember off hand what its called, at work at the moment) to a slimmed down list with a bunch of stuff removed (home computers, pc games, etc., things that might not be exactly intuitive to a new user). curious if this is possible in Big Box, maybe somewhere in the lockable admin functions? also, being able to hide games based on what list is being used would be awesome. if not, i'll open a feature request. thank you all!

where does the qsound_hle.zip file go then? i tried dropping in the rom folder, still getting the same error.

hi guys, curious if LB has a “now loading” screen with a progress bar? i moved over from hs and thankful i did but i do miss the progress bar which was pretty accurate, especially when you are unzipping a large image on the fly. some of these later games, especially TP, can take a while to know and a progress bar makes you aware something is happening. anyway, just curious. as always keep up the great work!!

by no means am i rich but i do understand and appreciate the response. i’ll open a feature request and and keep my fingers crossed

curious if the devs are open to cold hard cash i did t want to just open a feature request ticket cause the request would probably be pretty unique to my case (option to use a third screen to display users choice {manual, box art, etc}) simce i figure very few would use this feature… hence the curiosity of paid feature. keep up the great work guys!

thanks guys!!

nope, sorry if i wasn’t clear. i used to have all wbfs files for wii games. and launch box points to this wbfs’s as that’s what was imported. ihave since zipped them up so they are all now 7z files. we’ll launchbox is still looking for the wbfs. i can go into games individually and change the file extension to 7z. but is there a way to bulk change that extension?

decided to zip up all my wii games. currently i’m set by calling to the rom, ROMNAME.wbfs is it possible to bulk change the extension to 7z?

i like the classic controller text underneath. i am using city hunter, any chance you can use the logos as pictured? in addition to wii, also looking for wii ware with classic controller.

i created a lightgun playlist that has all LG games across all platforms. thing is, now a game like mad dog mcree is listed a bunch of times, once for each platform. is it possible to have the game only listed once and when you select it, you get a sub menu with the different platforms you can select from to launch?

hey guys. if i knew graphics apps i’d do it myself…. i’m adding nintendo wii but would like to add a second “platform” or playlist for nintendo wii classic controller games. anyone willing to do wheel art for that? willing to send a few bucks your way for the assist. im thinking the standard wii wheel art with “classic controller” written under the logo or even an image of the controller. or whatever you graphically capable people think would look nice. as always, thanks for any help!

this board is awesome but it always makes me feel like an idiot thanks man for your help, sorry i missed that!

awesome but oddly it doesnt show in my bulk drop down menu.

i tried all that but unfortunately, the game screen is black but i can hear it running inthe background. in order to get my sinden lightgun border to show, i have to run my bat as is with that timeoput command befgore the emu actually starts. if tehre is a way to additional apps and force them to run completely before the actual app strts, that may work...

hi all, for model 2 lightgun games, i am launching the games with a BAT file so that the lightgun software launches and it turns off my second monitor. when i hit ESC to exit, the emu just goes from fullscreen to a window. what can i put in my bat file that will close the emu when i hit escape? any help is appreciated! here is my BAT: Start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe" -monitorloadprofile "onemonitor" start S:\Tools\SindenLightgunSoftwareReleaseV1.06beta\SindenLightgunWindowsSoftwareV1.06\SindenLightgun\Lightgun.exe -autostart timeout /t 2 /nobreak >nul Start /wait "" emulator_multicpu.exe - bel Start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe" -monitorloadprofile "leftright" start "" taskkill.exe /F /im Lightgun.exe

well nevermind. i decided to make a duplicate of mame, specifically for lightgun games, added that as a new emu and then added my bat file lines top the autohotkey startup for the emu, all good now

hey guys, is this possible? if not, i'll open a feature request. as i'm setting up my sinden lightguins, i've had to create some generic bat files to do a few things before a lightgun game starts and another bat to close some things out when the game is exited. but i am having to add "additional apps" to each and every game and this is pretty time time consuming. I have a playlist with 217 games in it and i'm having to do this to each and every one. I can't do it at the emulator level because i only want these bats to run for lightgun games. if i select all the games in my lightgun list, i can bulk edit a bunch of stuff but it would be great to be able to bulk add additional apps. any thoiughts?

DUDE! you rule! That timeout command added to the bat did the trick and then some! i owe you one, thanks a ton!

thanks for the reply, here is what i'm finding, here is my bat after your edit suggestions. fyi, i replaced the close BAT with the one line that was in the bat. fyi #2, i only have one profile in j2k so the few emu's that use it, all use that one profile loaded when j2k starts Start "" S:\Tools\Joy2Key\JoyToKey\JoyToKey.exe Start /wait "" Singe.exe -k -z -e 60 -d DL2e\Index -v DL2e\Movie\DL2e.mp4 -w DL2e\DL2e.singe Start "" taskkill /F /im JoyToKey.exe game starts minimized to the task bar, i can hear it running. if i click the taskbar singe icon, i go full screen and i can play. other than this, its running and doing whats expected. i didnt try the AHK cause the BAT is SO close! any thoughts on that?
