    Very cool.

    Download link? :P

    Ummm Yeah, 2tb not gonna happen, however you could easily build your own using my list (I compiled mine from top 100 best comics postings mostly)

    Can't tell you where to get the actual comics but do a few google searches and you'll figure it out.

    CDisplay Ex  for emulator,

    and Comic Utility Belt for box fronts

    special thanks to DOS76 check out his amazing set HERE

    First study up - watch how-to videos and learn how to play before you play

    Second - find an adult run server/clan with admins always playing

    Third - avoid the inner clan politics at all costs

    Apologize if you wound or kill teammates asap

    Most importantly - Don't be the guy that just ramble talks his little fish brain in game,

    crack a joke here and there and call out the important stuff like a pro.

    As a kid I never really got into comic books, maybe read a few at a friends house here and there,

    consider this my introduction to the vast world of comic books and low quality video editing (my first work)

    It's a bit long but I hope you find it entertaining. 

    Project size: 2tb

    Extras for Games

    in Noobs

    Posted · Edited by lou silver

    You could just import them into their respective platforms and use adobe reader,

    sumatra, vlc  etc set as emulators in LB to run them,  that's what I've done for my

    comic book/multimedia build.

    Future Pinball not running AutoHotKey scripts?

    in Noobs

    Posted 

    Have you set AHK to run as admin? 

In your launchbox folder/emulators/Future Pinball find the future pinball executable (labeled FP with a green box with an H for an icon)

right click it and select properties, select the Compatibility tab and at the bottom check the box marked Run this program as an administrator hit apply then ok 

(you'll receieve an error in game if you dont run as admin)

    Ok, thanks. Got it all sorted with the command line switches from the Doom wiki. Really enjoying this set. Quick question, you mentioned in the post that the artwork was complete but I seem to be missing a lot of the logos, etc. Did I miss something? Honestly I wouldn't even expect artwork with a set of mods but just wanted to make sure.

    Thanks again...Piper

     

    Images updated, I suppose I goofed and used an old set that wasn't updated, anyway just redownload and replace the whole Doom Image folder, oh also in Bigbox make sure to refresh all images in the options menu.

    This is awesome. Thanks.

    Question, it seems that GZDoom asks which DOOM iwad to use each time. I can choose one permanently but then when I play a mod that uses one of the others I have to choose again. Is there a way to specify which DOOM to use for each one? Maybe select DOOM2 as the permanent then change the launch parameters for the others? I have The Ultimate DOOM, Final DOOM and DOOM II all installed (from GOG).

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks...Piper 

    Sorry it's a small yet annoying price to pay selecting the proper Iwad.

    I deleted the actual roms of commercial releases but left their entries and art installed -

    you'll have to edit each one and point it to your game location.

    Download them one at a time here at PinSimDB.org or get them courtesy of Google Drive and myself in bulk.

    Last time I checked Future Pinball is freeware and the Launchbox police will not cart you off to jail for talking about it.

    As far as libraries go this is all the PC playable tables from PinSimDB.org complete with table images and clear logos,

    of note I left out table author credits since you will see their names in the load screens.

     

    Bigbox and Steam Link

    in Beta Testing

    Posted

    Minimize steam and you can use your desktop on it, also they make controllers

    for your phone. I heard you can run Retroarch natively but I didn't have much luck, if

    anyone else has let me know please.

    As far as streaming goes wireless was passable for reading the news but lagged a bit on youtube , wired streaming was a dream though.

    While they don't sell Steam Links anymore they have a free Steamlink app which lets you turn any old laptop or computer into a steam link.

    I would suggest first to not make your user name your email, second check up  top in image group make sure it's not stuck on something other than box fronts, I would also make sure you are shutting down launchbox properly and not through say task manager.

    Those are popular platforms and usually scrape very well, there might be errors in the import process or file setup etc usually it's an unchecked box here or there that messes things up - I would play around a bit on a test build see what works and what doesn't while also watching some Launchbox tutorials.

    Only issue I have with it is it struggles with X-Men titles don't know why but it usually won't find covers for them. Also I converted a lot of my comics to WebP format and it doesn't support that either.

    My only complaint is 300ish out of 5k from a "various comics file, x-men went well only 14 missed out of 568, the bulk of my collection is done, I'm very pleased.

    As a little side project I've acquired nearly 13k in digital comic books and have imported each one into Launchbox.

    I've found the best way to do box fronts is to run each title in LB with CDisplay Ex

    and take a screenshot of the comics front page(within the emulator), however 13 thousand is a lot.

    Anyone here know of or can make a plugin that automates this?

    I'm thinking there's a lot of potential if you consider all the printed media turned digital..

    Thanks in advance.

    Atari ST clear logos?

    in Game Media

    Posted

    this might be helpful if you need box fronts- I went manual mode through all 2700 titles filling in what LB missed

    clear logos included also but most are generic purple ones made in bulk (I'm assuming).  Atari ST

    thanks for the share also ?

    Big Box Startup Videos Platform Showcase Kit

    in Big Box Startup Videos

    Posted · Edited by lou silver

    Add your folder titled Big Box Startup Videos to Launchbox -Games

    Additionally add the same folder to Launchbox-Videos if you want video previews ,

    you can upload them to sites that will squish them down to smaller 480p sizes

    This same technique can apply to all video files as the videos are the "games" and video previews"

    at the same time albeit at possibly double the storage space, set vlc as default emulator naturally.
