+1 for the effort but the sluggish performance/frame drops makes me happy to stick with platforms/emulators I actually use.

So I just downloaded 10.11 and there is no Badge menu at the top right. What am I missing?
EDIT: It's because I'm using a custom theme, right?

Yes, for Dolphin create a blank text document in your Dolphin folder called portable.txt. For PCSX2 it's the same thing but the file is called portable.ini.
As for your first question, you can try editing the xml file where your emulators are stored but it's fairly easy to just move your emulators and repoint Launchbox to them, take a few minutes at most depending on how many you have.
Interesting, I didn't know about the blank text document. Will look into that.
I suppose I could always re-map the emulators but wouldn't each rom have to be reconfigured also?
-
My emulators and roms are stored outside the Launchbox directory. Is there a way to merge them and bulk-edit the file paths so that my installation becomes portable? What about PCSX2, Dolphin, etc. that also rely on external folders (i.e. Documents)? Can they be portable at all?
-
Would it be possible at all to improve the search functionality such that when you start typing a game’s title Launchbox will select the correct entry? Similar to how it works on Windows.
At present, it will accept the first letter only which can be a limitation with larger collections.

Right, but do you still have to put them in the fanart folder right? I was saying it would be nice to have a "standalone" folder that LB made just for start up screens, and leave fanart out of it altogether, unless you checked a box to add it to the folders that it looked in.
Isn't that just semantics though? All of the above is essentially 'fanart' so whether or not the folder is different doesn't really bother me. Same end result, no? Unless I misunderstand, which is entirely possible lol.

Oh,...how do you do that? Can you just put an image in a folder and it will use it?
Correct. I couldn't stand the crappy background images so the above works out perfectly for my needs. Minimal and to the point.

This is why it might be nice to have a startup screen background image folder. So that way it wouldn't look in the fanart folder, but there instead, and you could just throw whatever image you wanted/needed to in there.
I have set up mine to show matching platform imagery during Startup:

Hey @Thornback. I'm assuming you downloaded the plugin from the other thread as my attachment in this thread shows 0 downloads. If you did download the other plugin try the plugin in this thread.
The other plugin uses mouse click which will only focus the 1st available window. Where as the plugin on this page uses winActivate. Which should activate the shutdown screen then BB.
You absolute legend! This did the trick!
My bad, I had assumed the plugins were identical but as it turns out this isn't the case.
Thanks heaps mate!

This worked! For Mednafen anyway. Thanks so much. I ended up finding a sweet spot of 5.2 seconds for a seamless transition.
Unfortunately, Dolphin still proves challenging. The issue here is that upon exiting a game the screen fades to black. Your script is able force the shutdown sequence to play eventually but by the time it gets back to the menu it is unresponsive (i.e. out of focus). Mednafen never had this problem and goes straight to the menu so your script works wonders there and can be timed accordingly.

Ooh, this is interesting. Will test on the weekend, thanks!
Did you put this together yourself? What exactly does it consist of?

Currently no. I think this is mainly because if it works in LB it works in BB since they function off of the same structure. However, there have been some outlier users that with some emulators will have an issue in BB and not LB.
No worries, thanks.
I might be one of those users. Currently there is a chance that when I exit Dolphin in Big Box it gets stuck on a black screen. Similarly, when quitting a game on Mednafen it sometimes returns to an unresponsive menu screen. All I need to do is press a mouse button for it to snap back into place. Naturally, this doesn’t apply to LB since you’re not returning to an application that is in exclusive full screen mode as is the case with BB.
I believe the above is caused by Windows focus issues but that is anyone’s guess.

Is there a way to disable an emulator's startup theme in Big Box only? I can see the option of disabling them all at once or individually turn them off in emulator settings (which would affect both LB and BB). Ideally would like to have a couple of problematic themes disabled in Big Box but not Launchbox. Is that possible?
Thanks!

Noob question alert!
Will the new update overwrite custom LB themes or do they stay put?

It was sarcasm, mate
Much like Napalm’s post.
Clearly I’m not good at this lol.

Thanks, Jason. The Galaxy S10 it is!

Wanting to switch from iOS to Android and looking for the best emulation device that is also a decent phone. Thoughts on Galaxy S10+ vs Razer Phone 2?

Out of curiosity, have you tried some .pnach files with 60fps codes?
