whenever I try to post a Bug or issue ive found while using this software, i get the typical "clearly its your fault, the software is perfect" response. you tell me, you enjoy hearing that from others when you try to report a bug?
I looked over your post history and yeah a lot of your posts are just simple user error.
and then lock my thread because I point out that this kind of behaviour keeps happning on these forums? really? thats basically proving my point. no where in any of my posts was I hostile towards you or anyone else.
I locked the thread because it devolved into nothing more than you ranting.
I think you just dont like people reporting bugs. maybe you think a Bug Report = being critical of your software???
No, file a bug report the proper way, complaining on the forums about them not being addressed as fast as you "demand" is just not accepted.
Locking my thread?? thats a sure fire way to get me pissed off
Please, feel free to go elsewhere and use another front end and see how helpful their support is.
^^^^ completely proving my point. you lock threads, make threats, insult your customers, and dont give them a chance to defend themselves.
oh and btw, we are PAYING CUSTOMERS, and this is how you treat us??? really? completely unprofessional. and you keep thinking that I am "demanding" a fix immediately. which im not. i just want it to be accepted as an actual bug. I think I am quite patient. when ive exhausted all possible solutions to the problem I let it go thinking "theyll fix it eventually". I dont harp on and on about it. I have not posted again in any of the previous threads I made since they are more or less finished IMO.
it seems to me that you are just a dick with some authority on the internet, and tbh, i feel like you're going to be the cause of less customers paying for this software.
but I digress. due to YOUR behaviour, I am requesting a Refund. I will not support this software/team any further. (and if a refund cannot be obtained, I'll simply do a charge back) @Jason Carr @lordmonkus @neil9000

Beta builds are just that beta, expect bugs with them. If you want to be relatively bug free stick to the stable builds.
We're sorry you are experiencing issues and things aren't disregarded but there are only so many hours in a day for @Jason Carr to work on things. You do know that he is the only full time dev working on Launchbox right ? And there is one part time dev. Things take time but if you don't like it and want to go use another front end please by all means go use another.
I'll just leave you with the last bit of advice, coming on here with an angry chip on your shoulder because your issues aren't addressed as quickly as you want is not going to get things done any faster.
Since your initial problem is solved I am now locking this thread since you seem to want to continue ranting.
@lordmonkus lolno. I didnt have a chip on my shoulder (until just now I do)

Beta's = potential bugs, use at your own risk, yada yada.
guy...plz...Ive already reinstalled the default version of Launchbox/BigBox, it didnt change anything. Same Bugs are Still Bugs.
This is the kind of attitude I mean though. "its a beta of course there will be bugs" yah I get that, but I was having these issues since before I started using the Beta, While I was using the Beta, and after switching back to the Stable release.
If this is the kind of attitude I can continue to expect then why should I report any bugs at all????

Tutorials for what exactly ? There are many of them here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSIht6UXIEXIgz4eXAEShxA/videos
What bugs ? Please don't confuse user inexperience and learning curve for bugs.
I would just suggest taking things one step at a time. Start with some basic emulators and games, 8-16 cart based consoles are the easiest. Stuff with bios and CD images are more complicated. Worry about themes and views per platform later on once you got your systems and games.
Soon you will find things make more sense as you get used to how everything works. Trying to do too much at once is always a recipe for problems and you won't know where something went wrong.
Bug
Bug (even if he doesnt want to admit that it is, it is)
Bug(s) (did lots of testing with new beta versions that they gave me, didnt fix it)
And there are more, but I got tired of posting since no one seems to think these "issues" are "issues".
Its not an issue of "user inexperience", I have tried and tried and tried many different things (even switching over to the Beta in the vain hopes it would solve my problems), I've googled and googled, I've asked for help on these forums, most of the "bugs" that are being disregarded are still issues that I am having after almost a month now with Launchbox/Big Box.

Agreed, but I stopped "setting up" a long time ago, I occasionally add a new system, but it is so streamlined these day's that it is a few clicks of the mouse and it's done.
how??? like...srsly...how? there really needs to be better tutorials / how to guides for this. im finding it to be an excersize in frustration getting everything setup, adding new games, getting it to look good, etc etc.
nothing but bug after bug after bug.
and no one seems to have a clue why this is happening to (apparently) only me.
90% of themes dont work right for me, hell even the default theme doesnt work the way it should (or atleast the way ive seen others do it)
and I just dont get it.

Maybe that's controller buttons exclusively then to clear, I never bothered with any of the keyboard buttons as bigbox is for a controller couch use for me.
while i do agree that Big Box is ment to be played on a big screen TV while relaxing on a couch and with a controller, the intial setup process should definetly be done on a PC with a mouse and keyboard
i am still in the setup phase (also in the holy crap why can everyone else get this to work and I cant phase)

Or press enter, then escape to clear it.
....that sets Escape as the mapped key....
-
Just now, lordmonkus said:
Press Enter and then the button you want to map that function to or reset it all by deleting your BigBoxSettings.xml after making a backup of it just in case.
thanks. this works!

escape to clear a key, as I said.
also I just tried it and "Escape" does not "clear" a key mapping. it takes you back one menu....

Just now, neil9000 said:

Clear =/= Page Down
-
Just now, neil9000 said:
You can hit escape on a key when selected to clear it.
thanks! but there was a button set to "Page Down" by default, and now it is set to "Next" which I dont want. how do I reset it to Default?

not sure if this is related to the beta, but I decided to take a break from dumping my roms/getting videos for my games and started messing with the various platform view types, such as Genre, Platform Catagories, etc etc. and I cant. the only "view" that works for any/all the things is "Text with Descriptions"
I tried mapping "change view" to "V" and that wont change the view.
the only views that can be changed are for "Platform Catagories" and "Platforms" and "Playlists". everything else remains "Text with Details" no matter what I do.
Tried checking the box that "Remember Separate View for Each Platform" that did nothing. Tried unchecking the box, did nothing.
-
title. how do I do it?
also, whenever I try to set "Page Down" it just registers the key as "Next", but "Page Up" works just fine. ?????
-
how did you achieve this? im trying to do something similar but whenever i try to view "Genres" it just goes to the default Text with Details view and wont ever use the platform wheel 4.
-
new issue (could be related to newest beta release or not, idk) that has just now started for me after updating to latest beta.
pcsx2 is crashing everytime it tries to load a game through launchhbox, but if i right click a game in launchbox and clikc "open pcsx2" then open the exact same game file it loads just fine.
no error message, it just crashes. i have not changed any launchbox settings.
-update-
restating my pc fixed it. although it still shouldnt have happened at all IMO.

That sounds like a very weird control issue and not one I have ever run into or heard anyone have before.
You either had bad bios files or incompatible disk images with its cores.
But anyways, you don't want to use it and I am not even suggesting you use it but it certainly is not buggy. Sure it may have a bug or two in it somewhere like any other software out there but I personally have never encountered any bugs.
then what image am i supposed to use? epsxe reads my bios and roms just fine.

Retroarch is far from buggy but I will admit the UI can be a bit overwhelming, however you can do some very awesome things with it like per game and per emulator controls and shaders if you are into them.
I suggested puNES because it is amazingly well done and is 98-99% accurate compared to Nestopia which is around the 83% mark according to Bizhawks accuracy tests http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html
nah. the menu's are fine. its just buggy
i never set any Turbo button at all but every single button is still being set to Turbo. that and some of the "cores" simply dont function. I tried every available PS1 emulator core (I only saw 2 of them????) and none of them worked, they just crashed over and over and over when trying to run a rom.

Not sure what AHK script you were using but I just took a few minutes to test some stuff out and this seems to be working for me.
$Esc:: Send, !{F4} ReturnI used Zelda as my testing game and using the above script closes the emulator generates a save file in the \Nestopia\save folder.
I do highly recommend giving puNES a try though, it's such a good NES emulator.
this doesnt seem to work????am i supposed to hit the ESC key? or alt F4???hitting esc just opens up the menu and asks "are you sure you want to close"I am wanting to bypass all of this.nvm. i found the setting to "confirm on exit" and unticked it

i will try both.
the main reason I dont want to use retroarch is its way too bugy (yah I know, everyone says its the best, just fiddle with it, configure it blah blah blah, but I did, i spent days messing with it, its a bugy mess and I dont want to deal with it anymore)

Sounds like some sort of conflict with how Launchbox is closing it out but I don't know for certain since I do not use the stand alone Nestopia. If that is the case then you may want to look into an AHK script to close it down in a manner that Nestopia agrees with.
And since you said you hate Retroarch have you given puNES or Mesen a try at all ? Both are really top notch NES emulators.
tested. you are correct. i removed my ahk script for "esc" and now it saves it.
hmmmmm anyone know an ahk script for NEStopia exiting while also saving?
-
so I just now noticed that when I play a NES game through Launchbox that has a built in save feature, it will only work while the game is still running. If I turn the game off, then back on again, the saves are gone.
But if I run the game through NEStopia without launchbox, I get these nice save files that work just fine.
I did some testing, and sure enough, run a game through launchbox (set to open with NEStopia) and no such save file gets created.
????? how do I fix this? (and dont say use Retroarch, I hate that thing)

Jason, you're (i'm assuming dropbox) conflict files got transfered on the install.
pretty sure this was already discussed. just delete the conflict files.

so i have the infamous analog stick issue on epsxe. ive googled around and around trying to find the solution.
there are a few "possible" solutions, but most of them either dont work anymore (outdated) or they break other things.
When playing Legend of Dragoon, holding DOWN (it only happens with DOWN) on the analog stick causes the character to WALK rather than RUN. Normally, holding any direction on the analog stick causes the character to RUN. (not a huge deal I know, but an annoying one still)
According to EPSXE forums, this "issue" was solved in version 1.8 of EPSXE (except that it wasnt). so I cant get any help from them since they think its been fixed (which it hasnt).
According to other forums from google searches, others have had this exact same issue several times, there was once a solution known as "Shark" (or shark enhanced EPSXE), but I cant get that to work, everytime I try to run it it just throws an "Unknown Error".
Others suggested using Lilypad (oh hey, i know lilypad! I use it on PCSX2, its great!). So I dumped the lilypad plugin into EPSXE and to my suprise, it works! Awesome! My analog sticks work perfectly now.......however.....Lilypad causes Stuttering and Crashes in EPSXE for me. Ive tested all night and I have confirmed it is Lilypad causing it. (I spent hours tweaking graphics/sound settings to try to solve this, the only thing that fixes it is to switch to the default Gamepad Plugin)
So...anyone out there got a solution to this problem?
