I've recently run into an issue where some Switch games are a single file, but contain multiple game in it as a collection. Yuzu will load those single file collections as a list of the games inside it, and will launch each independently... where Ryujinx will usually just recognize 1 game in the collection. In Yuzu, you can export shortcuts to games, but each game in a collection will just direct to the single file itself. For Instance, I have Ori: The Collection that contains 2 games... but both shortcuts will open Ori and the Blind Forest as the default game. Ori and the Will of the Wisps can only be launched directly through Yuzu. Also, in Yuzu, each game in the collection will show a unique Title ID, so I'm not sure if that can be used somehow. I found this to also be an issue also with GTA: The Trilogy, and I'm sure there's more. Has anyone run into this... or have a solution to this? Thanks!

This is something that could come with the more "online social" stuff mentioned on the poll. The "friends" part of the limited group would need to be implemented before you can make it only show those friends. I personally want to see how I stack up against the community on different games, not just a few friends. That being said, I would like to see like an icon next to a name or a highlight over the name that I would be friends with on the MAME High Score boards. An extra tab only showing friends would also work well.

There's definitely some interesting things on the poll this year, just wanted to add some input and a question or two... Screensaver for BigBox: At first thought I didn't really care for this idea, but this would actually be a nice option to use in place of Attract Mode. I would probably more prefer BigBox to stay on a highlighted game so I'm not somewhere completely different if I leave for a little while. As far as what it will show, I would like it to either loop the selected video preview of that particular game... or the option to cycle through all videos associated with that game (snap, theme, trailer, recording). Not really interested in an image slide show, but that option would be nice to have too. Online social/syncing features: I've been wanting more of this for a while, the MAME High Score feature was a great start to this. I'm not real sure what all is being considered for the "more online" capabilities, or what's even realistic... but I would imagine some sort of real time friends list using our current LaunchBox names/accounts that can access MAME High Scores (of course), direct or group messaging, and online play/invite system (possibly integrating a 3rd party like FightCade) etc. This might even be something that should be built as "LaunchBox Online" app that can be used on a phone or tablet in conjunction while playing on your preferred device. It would be less messy and more convenient to use both at the same time. Not to mention you can get push notifications. 3D Box Models in BigBox: This could also be interesting to include 3D renders of arcade cabinets! Whether it's a 3D arcade cabinet or console game box, selecting to view full screen and having the ability to make it rotate would be really cool! Integration of the Bezel Project: Let's say you download all bezel media and it applies to all systems applicable... would it be possible to disable and re-enable bezels, or furthermore... disable only select systems?

This is was my first thought on how to do it... just wasn't sure if there was a more simple process. SF2 has what looks like 30 or 40 clones, I was just nervous they would all expand into the rest of my collection where I would lose track of them all to combine back. I'll probably just take a screen shot of them all first or something and find them that way. Thanks Neil.

I know I COULD do that... but I did mention an easy way in my question. Your way would require basically a complete overhaul of my MAME setup just for 1 game.

Is there currently a way to expand a primary "Default" MAME game into one of its individual clones? For instance, Street Fighter II: Champion Edition has several clones as additional apps. If I wanted to take out one of the Rainbow bootleg versions as a stand-alone game... is there an easy way to do that right now? I know you can expand into all of its clones, but this particular game has a bunch and would be a bit messy. Thanks!

Is there currently a way to add a program to the main platform category wheel as executable, rather than having to click into a sub wheel? This is primarily for things like Kodi or Fightcade... Thanks!

The Retroarch integration feature sounds awesome, that can really help streamline the platform setup processes as it advances in future updates. I do have a question about how that would work... would it come pre-installed natively in the LaunchBox folder structure, or will we have the ability to point it to a current folder, or a choice between the two? I have a second Retroarch installation specifically for HD texture mods. Also, a thing I would like to see with the Retroarch integration... would be a correct "bios present" field, next to a "core present (download/update [all])" field. These would be great to have in there.

Thanks for the reply Jason, will do!

Has there been a recent change in the platform logo image identifier in xaml? It's been a little while now that I've noticed my platform logos no longer showing in the top left corner of my startup theme. I customized the GridBlocked startup theme if that matters... Edit: So I've noticed that the platform logo DOES appear on the startup screen while in BigBox.... but it doesn't show while in LaunchBox. Any idea how or why that might be happening? It's not a huge deal... at least it's working in BigBox, but I can't figure out why that would be... for some reason I'm thinking I could be missing something simple. I tested a few different platforms while in BigBox, and tried those same platforms while in LaunchBox... it's strange.

I hear ya, I bought the lifetime license and plan to use it for that long. But adding assets like these and customizing and fine tuning my LaunchBox build is always fun and will probably never end lol.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about replicating this view necessarily... just using the cabinet art. I may mess around this weekend with the Unified Redux theme's XAML view file for the wheel and see if I can have it point to the matching game cabinets.

So I have not yet set up OBS for recording snaps/recordings in LaunchBox... but I just discovered a quick and simple alternative way to screen capture that's actually built into Windows 10. Pressing "Windows Key+ALT+R" records any active window, it has worked with every program and browser I've tried... even Amazon Prime videos ? lol. Press it again to stop and it saves to your User>Videos>Captures folder at your screen resolution with sound. It worked perfectly with a Nintendo game in Retroarch. Can't believe I haven't heard about this until now, just thought this might be able to help a few people that might not want to use OBS for some reason.

It would be pretty awesome to have these views in a BigBox theme. I was actually thinking more along the lines of grabbing those custom made arcade cabinet overlays for specific arcade games to replace the generic arcade cabinet we have in some of the BigBox arcade views. I believe there's roughly about 400 arcade game specific cabinets in the Diamonds build that would look awesome in the BigBox Unified themes, or any others where a cabinet is showing the game snap video. And for the games that don't have them, revert back to the current default generic cabinet.
