  1. You can sync multiple devices upto the same magic ns, but they will all be recognised by Windows as the same controller, so basically if you want to use the switch controller and the arcade stick at the same time you will need to get yourself anouther mayflash, basically 1 mayflash adapter per player, when you connect the 8bit up make sure your connecting it via the xinput mode, and this should sort your issues out

  2. i only use playlists for games that require different controllers then the standard currently...i have 3 currently set up. Guitar Hero, Rock band and taiko no tatsujin which all use some funky controller. i will add light-gun games aswell once and if the sinden light gun project ever gets made :(. If i didn't use Big box i would probably have more playlists to be honest, but to me its just another headache of creating/finding media if it doesn't already exist.

  3. Im sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a template available for making the videos...in particular the arcade cabinet ones, as i would like to fill some gaps in my collection and want to keep the uniform look it :)

  4. Evening All,

    so i recently imported all the taito type x games into my collection and they all use the latest version of Gameloader RH All (3.1.8)... but i seem to be having an issue where controller automation will not work once a game is launched, so i cannot exit using the controller....ive tried everything possible to figure out what is happening but maybe someone has allready had this issue and can point me in the right direction..without rolling back the loader to an earlier version.

     

    Cheers :)

    I have eyed the magic ns adapter before, the issue I would have with such a setup is that you have to remember which controller is which. The good thing with the 8bitdo is it supports xinput. Using my computers built in bluetooth; no matter what controller I use the computer will assign the corresponding controller to a player in whatever order I turned the controller on. Meaning I can use the xbox one controller, SNES, NES, genesis with whatever emulator I want without pressing physical buttons or resyncing (they all act like a wireless Xbox one controller). I can be using an xbox one controller for an SNES game, while a friend could use the oem snes controller as player 2 if they choose.  For the PS3 I have installed SCP3Toolkit, and bought another bluetooth adapter exclusively for PS3 controllers. It also acts just like any xinput controller, except in PCSX2, where it will function exactly like a PS2 controller ( for those games you need pressure sensitive buttons).

    That's interesting about the mayflash, the other issue I had with it is the LEDs inside burned out really fast (less than 6 months) even with the update that turns them off when no controller is being used. I figured at the very least with a built in bluetooth I can just use one of those cheap usb sensor bars and not feel bad about chucking it and getting a new one if the same thing happens.

    I know what you mean, I simply choose the mayflash as my Emulation pc has no keyboard or mouse access and being honest a Bluetooth adapter in Windows 10 is a right Pita to manage, with the mayflash everything auto syncs so no problems(I have 6 different controllers each synced to player 1 and 2)... I use switch pro controllers as my main controllers aswell via the xinput mode as it works better with steam IMO. 

     

    So I know which controller is which I've stuck different color round 2mm stickers on the underside of each controller blue for player 1 red for 2 etc etc

     

    How much work was it to get the official wii bluetooth module into your machine.. Is there any guides for it?? I would be intrested to take a look.

    Ok I've always wondered about people's bluetooth setups, and nobody has every confirmed.  So let's say you map the controllers in an emulator right,...then when you turn another controller on doesn't it bump the first one out of the line in terms of windows joyid orders and you have to remap again to the one that is currently on?

    I was having a right nightmare with this personally hence I switched the mayflash magic ns. Everytime I Rebooted my machine I would have to mess to get the controllers back into some sort of order.

  7. im running a similar setup, apart from i have 4 mayflash magic ns adapters in a usb hub (player 1-4) with multiple controllers sync'd to each adaptor. with regards to the dolphin bar, i figured out while it does support motion plus controllers it doesn't seem to like the newer revisions...took me a while to track down 4 rev 1 motion plus ones but i honestly haven't had any issues since then..if that is any help to you

    for NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis I went with what google or Wikipedia told me what was a full US set. If the number of files matched then I figured I had a full set.

    i do the same, and remove any multi cart games if they have single roms also, no need to have the same game 3 times in a set. my Japanese translations tend to be included in the game set apart from famicom and super famicom (as i class these as there own consoles rather then nes/snes)

  9. Hi All

    First of all, let me tell you how much I'm loving launchbox, its made my roms much easier to organise!!! so thank you for the great piece of software. Now please ignore my ignorance if launchbox already does what I'm about to ask but I have a couple of things I'm not sure about.

    1. Is there a way to add a submenu to a platform, for example, i like to keep hacks/translations/unlicensed games separate from the main game list. at the moment, i have a platform for each different set(see below for an example)

    Nes Licensed

    Nes Unlicensed

    Nes Hacks

    Nes Translations

    what I would like to be able to do is while in the big box have a single platform for NES, then once I've selected into it, there's a submenu with the following groups, rather than 4+ menus on the main screen for each system.

     

    2. Is there a way to import roms and them use their file names as the game name, this is really useful for hacks and translations so i can see who created the translation or any button activations which I tend to keep in brackets in the file names

     

    3. When downloading images(metadata) I have to manually select which ones I want for every system, is there a way to say set up a global profile that will always download particular images, rather than me selecting them each time?

     

    Again i would like to say thanks and i hope some of these questions can be addressed
