Hello! I have a pretty large amount of games catalogued in my Launchbox at this point and I am attempting to save space on the disk it is located on. I have ran the media cleanup tool and removed any duplicates but I still find that many games download automatically multiple different covers/screenshots/etc and for my purposes I really would only need one of each. I am searching to try to find an easy way to automate the process of removing all but the first image of any media category for all of my games but I don't seem to be having any luck so I would like to ask is this a feature contained in Launchbox? Thank you!

I'm assuming that's some sort of remote play and the same could be done on a PS5. I get the lack of urgency but it would be nice at some point. I see other users echoing this sentiment. I mean lots of games on the PS3 and 360 platforms probably are not even playable through emulation yet, particularly 360, but despite that they are surprisingly well maintained. Even Xbox emulation is pretty spotty still but most games are still on there and as a modded Xbox owner Launchbox has been excellent as a catalogue so I don't have to boot up the console and I can use the synced library to just pull up my library and make a decision before I even look through that as well as my various modded consoles with large libraries on them. I can make my own PS5 platform for my own purposes and probably will, there aren't many titles exclusive to the platform yet most of them I own are crossgen but still, it appears I'm certainly not the only one using the application outside the 'intended purpose' so as time goes on would be nice to see support. Thank you!

I recently required a PS5 and use Launchbox not just to launch my emulators but also catalogue my physical games and I notice Playstation 5 is still not in the database as a platform along with any Playstation 5 titles. I wanted to post and voice that I hope at some point more support is given to Playstation 5 as a platform in the database. Thank you

Yes, I have 3 monitors all at different resolutions

No, sorry maybe I worded that poorly. My emulators all launch fine and fullscreen just fine. The problem is that Big Box has an option to select which screen it is on, when I try to set Big Box to one of my other monitors (so any monitor that is not checked in windows as my "main display") Big Box will move to the monitor but only fill a portion of the screen. If needed I can post a picture of this when I am home

Okay so the issue that I'm having is that I wish to make the screen I'm going to launch my game on to the primary monitor for windows and I wish to keep Big Box up on a secondary monitor while my game runs on my primary monitor. The problem is that any time I use the monitor selection option from inside the settings in Big Box when the application moves to the other screen it will not occupy the full screen. The only screen Big Box ever takes up fully and looks correct on is whichever screen is set to my primary monitor in windows. So far I've tried just about all the different Windows DPI scaling settings to see if that would help but I've had no results. Any idea what might fix this?

Are you running any shaders? Some Retroarch cores are only compatible with certain kinds of shader formats

What format are the games you are trying to run in? The PSX Retroarch cores don't support some file formats that other emulators do

The point of this is you are actually avoiding externally scaling your signal. When you send it say 320x240@60 it gives you a desktop that is actually 320x240 resolution so whatever type of signal you pick is exactly what you're sending. You might have to convert color space from RGB to YPbPr but whatever amount of lag that introduces should be pretty negligable. The only place there will be that much lag to cut back on is the software overhead

Hey that's me! Beautiful setup you have here I am glad to see more people out here doing this! Interesting how you matched it to your own consoles even down to the overscan, I always thought part of the benefit of this was that it made it easier to get your overscan perfect so every console can fill the entire screen but I understand the appeal of getting that extra last bit of authenticity.

Yeah CRT's are pretty limited with vertical resolution but can actually resolve a really wide range of horizontal resolutions most go even higher than 2560 I actually have a 3840x240 mode installed as well because using that I can have too different sets of porch values to adjust overscan on certain games. I hope everything works well for you let me know how it goes. I'd say why not keep the profiles for the plasma around too though? What I love about Launchbox is it makes it easy to pick between screens on a whim, I still quite like how retroarch looks on my tv with a nice shader / overlay, one thing I can say is nothing can beat CRT color though

It might help to know more specifically what kind of controller you happen to be using, and also if you have any experience yet making this controller work on any other games or emulators?

If you always run your monitors in the same orientation to each other and if you can make sure when you run dolphin that you can set the same monitor to your primary every time for that emulator, even if it's the one you don't want to actually run the game on, then you could make some sort of AutoHotkey script for the emulator to tell it to send keyboard strokes for Win Key + Shift + Right/Left right? I wouldn't know exactly how to go about it but I believe that's possible

I suggest using Multi Monitor Tool: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/multi_monitor_tool.html Just set up a batch file and edit it to point to which number monitor you want to be made primary, then set up another to undo the first one and set your other monitor back to primary, then either set these programs up as additional apps on a per game basis, or I believe you can set up your emulator to run an ahk script for these programs before opening and after closing

Thanks happy to help!
