RULLUR

I too had Front Box art end up as Background art, and I thought it was some error that happened while I was downloading some metadata media for Primal Rage and at random the Beta pop-up froze it to where I had to force it all to close, but seems I'm not the only one who had this happen. Had to go in an rearrange the Background priorities all over again, and I think I had to do that with some other stuff, but the Backgrounds for sure had to be fixed back.

I felt making a 32X platform was unnecessary since there are only so few titles, so it's better to have them part of Genesis. I like to also have Regional artwork and names set to their most accurate too. It's very much still a work in progress of course

Weird glitch going on where the left side is claiming I'm on the GameCube platform, but LaunchBox opened to the Genesis stuff I'm working on after Installing the new Beta, Unsure if this has a possibility to happen again, but figured I'd share it and hope it can avoid any confusion. I selected Genesis after doing the screenshot, and all seems fine

Had an issue last night that I keep forgetting to mention of when the notification of a new Beta is available pops up in LaunchBox some time later at random after starting it up, and it gets hidden under the Edit window to where you end up having to close LaunchBox and open it again just to access that pop-up notification. I kinda been wishing there was something that would come up on the top or side somewhere to be clicked when available instead of freezing things up such as when it comes up during downloading some Metadata in which then the download gets stuck and nothing can be cancelled or closed other than LaunchBox itself

My Wife @Haydee would be so happy to hear of that one. She's a huge fan of The Sims series

Yeah..like I have several versions of MAME going for certain titles that may not work with the newest versions, so when I search Metadata it will roll to the default MAME I have set as the newest one available when I may actually need to run a certain older version of MAME or possibly FBA. I guess I'll try making a thread later when I can though, and there are some other topics I need to do such as trying to figure a way to set my Hyperkin Admirals for only N64 RetroArch games & etc.

I think another thing I wanna see happen is if we can fix where it no longer sets a game back to the default Emulator when you search Search for Metadata. That can get kinda annoying when you want to get all the proper media and details set and then find out your game no longer works right because the Emulator got changed, and then you have to go back in to Edit and remember which one it was set to.

For me I already have commercials set for my gameplay video, and even by region as long as they have one made just so it all feels very museum to me and others who play. I think even if something isn't my style I would like it to be open to happen for whatever may tend to satisfy another, and seems @Jason Carr really understand that which makes me respect him further since he's not one of those guys who made it his way only without taking requests like some others may do. So I feel as long as someone mentions something they want to see in LaunchBox/BigBox on the Forums, he's gonna do his best to make it happen, even if that feature may take a while to get to on his ever-growing list, it'll be so worth the wait once he gets to it.

Has me thinking that Pause Menus should be customizable as to what things you would want to appear in them for both useful or just to look cool. Not sure if we should have it as a per game or per platform basis though, but I think that extra bit of customization would be satisfying to whatever type of gamer's preference can be.

I usually have a list of ideas, but I think for now I would like to request a way to search the Versions as a category. I know also some Emulators haven't been a 100% in working with Pause Screens in which I have yet to test until the Home/Guide button was functional for that, and I'm aware that may take a very long while until any of that gets worked on again, but thought I'd add that here. I also would like to see a way we can add Video in the Series section of BigBox along with Clear Logos and other things as we already do for Platform Categories instead of doing it via a Playlist. I think also to have it be done that way with Publishers and Developers too along with whatever other category anyone wants to do that with for the sake of being more customizable and giving others a far more unique look than any other as they wish to do so. I think another idea I would like is being able to see the artwork and details of other titles that have been combined instead of just being a list of text too. Another one I would like to see is something like a Joy-to-Key but built-in to help make setting up control schemes much easier since some games can be a hassle to use a similar App with in making sure your game controller will actual play at launch and properly close after you exit to avoiding things conflicting in function That's all I can think of off the top of my head for now, and can't wait until the next Poll comes for 2020 too

Okay, thanks for confirming this more clearly. I rarely save, but want to be able to when I can, so I guess I'll have to further decide if I wanna do the High Scores or not. I think with me I'm trying to just beat the game more than anything, but I do understand the gaming community as a whole on a global level still are keeping the High Score system alive and well which I even appreciate even if I may decide not to take part. I just love all the cool optional features that keep becoming part of LaunchBox/BigBox each time so that all will have a setup that is never 2 alike unless they choose to do so themselves. Any chance we'll get around to a 2020 Poll for other features to be requested soon? I know some are still kinda taking part in the 2019 one as of lately though

So is the anti-cheat system gonna make it where you can't save, or will it just not be placed as a High Score if you try and save a game?

I kinda feel I've caught more lag since the badges, but I also think it may have to do with the specs of my laptop and my constantly updating everything and dumping the Cache-BB folder after every visit to BigBox since I found out how much Hard Drive space it was eating up after a while.

We were playing through LaunchBox, but seems I overlooked the Exit Game part as it was set something which is likely R and L on those controllers which I never even considered was an option until I just looked further down the list of Mappings. I'll try and take a look at how it comes out on BigBox later though since sometimes it seems controller commands in LaunchBox don't always do what is set in BigBox and the other way around. As I can remember we didn't have any games exiting when in BigBox with those controllers though

Okay, so my Wife @Haydee and I have been using the Retro-Bit Bluetooth SEGA Saturn controllers and seems when you hold the R and L shoulders together is when the game will exit. Not sure what mix of buttons my Wife did when button mashing, but when I held R and L together is when noticed it exited out of KEGA Fusion and 4DO so far. I already found it weird that these controllers earlier on kinda don't turn back on with the Home button unless you pair them again, but for some odd reason tonight they seemed to do okay with turning back on until the problem turned into one where it makes the game exit somehow. Retro-Bit told me on Twitter they are aware of the controllers not turning back on properly and are working on a Firmware update, but now I wonder on the LaunchBox/BigBox side of things as to what can keep the games from exiting if button mashing happens with these controllers

Cool, I'll check it out when I get a chance. Kinda felt it would just bunch them together and not so much let you pick other versions if you selected. So many cool features and options within this that I tend to overlook on various ways things can be done. Just good we have a community here that is helpful and chill about getting things pointed in the proper direction needed though

As far as multiple titled games go, I have yet to try in the past to combine them and hope if in BigBox they end up listed within itself if you select one or not. So I've always kept everything separate to where it now looks like I have about 20+ of the same game listed in a Platform which can sometimes be annoying. These can be things like Regional versions or Hacked versions of a game, and even some Revisions of it as well. If this is already possible, then cool, but if not then I would really like to see that happen so things can look much more tighty, and maybe even load quicker too

Worked very well!! My only issue with this latest development version is trying to be able to do widescreen

Project64 v2.3. I'm hoping they have an update too unless I overlooked one. I try stay away from RetroArch since for some unknown reason it doesn't wanna HDMI all that well for my projector setup. Not sure whoelse is experiencing some games on Project64 v2.3 that end up super brightening the screen in a way that only restarting the PC is the only way to fix it, but hopefully someone found a way to fix that issue too since I think I seen somewhere the programmer of that doesn't know what could be the issue with that brightening even though some have stated it. Makes me wonder if that freezing is another issue with Project64 v2.3 too or not which has me a bit concerned with that version more on the stability of it.

It's the main view, like where all the N64 games are listed

Not sure what happened, but after playing Perfect Dark while using the new Hyperkin Admiral controllers it decided to freeze like this. I had to Alt+Tab and close the window on it

@Jason CarrVery understandable, and I know you mean well in trying your best in giving us as much of a flawless product as you can too. I will see about updating some drivers, and if not I will just hang in there and try do what I've been doing to get around it.

I too have this happen at times, and even sometimes I have where it while force me back to BigBox in the middle of a game in which I have to Alt+Tab back to it, or sometimes things like VirtualJaguar or some other random Emulator will launch behind BigBox to where you have to either try and Alt+Tab over to it or press Esc to back out of the game and try to launch it again. I have also times where I will exit a game and come to a black screen in which I have to Alt+Tab back to BigBox. Much of the time when I start BigBox I found if I mess with the volume control that it somehow speeds up the waiting too. Some of these I've stated before, and some of these I keep forgetting to mention until someone here with something similar reminds me enough to state the issue or issues I'm having. Hopefully @Jason Carr or @C-Beatswill have a solution for any or all of these, but for now I kinda am dealing with it all as I currently am.

I'm so glad you put in a blurring option now @Jason Carr, and I thank you big time for this as well since I hoped it would be this way too. I recently downloaded the Theme you had to kill the blurring, but sounds like I can go back to the Default like I always feel best to do since I feel that is best to help testing, and maybe will cause less hiccups with things too even though other themes seem so cool and tempting to try out later on. The numerical order thing sounds like such an amazing idea that I didn't even think of, but I know some games need something like that involving games that use roman numerals as well. Like we often see a sequel with "II" instead of "2" but then the third game as "3" instead of "III" like Mortal Kombat and a few others do. Not sure if there is a way to make it where "Mortal Kombat II" can go right before "Mortal Kombat 3" or any other game that does that too, but would be such an awesome fix if somehow it was possible though.

Been forgetting to ask if by chance we can have a way to search or even list the "Versions" category. I wanna have a better way to sort the Hacks and Mods of some things
