  1. I sent you a PM with the details of what we are trying to do....I'm guessing that long winded of an answer was NOT what you were asking for, but figured TMI is better than not enough and we go back and forth for a while.
  2. Taking a shot in the dark here, but I THINK what's being asked is a profile and snapshot function. 1st Part..... A way to save LB/BB settings and layouts as a snapshot, so if the user goes in and plays with configs, layouts, themes, etc but it breaks or they don't like it, they can return to their original setup/layout. 2nd Part.....They want to be able to create specific profiles on a per system basis in case they have tons of media art assets for the NES, but only 3d boxes for the PSP. Feel free to correct me Colorman3605 if I have misunderstood you. To colorman3605, while I don't believe LB/BB has a snapshot feature built in yet, I THINK you can make just a backup copy of your LaunchBox/Data folder and then you can play around with different views and layouts. If you like your original setup better, just restore the backup Data folder. I am NOT 100% sure just the Data file is all you need to back up, so may I suggest you do some small scale testing before you go crazy with it. Anybody here in the know, feel free to jump in and clarify. As far as per system profiles.....that one is above my paygrade, sorry. Mods: Feel free to delete my post to oblivion if I have provided incorrect information....I would hate to break somebody's build due to misinformation.
  3. I thought about injecting the app into the launchbox emulator path similar to what can be done with Rocket Launcher, BUT that loses a lot of what makes your LaunchBox/BB great about preconfiguring the emulators for users. LED Blinky is REALLY close to having what we need to get things going. Any chance you would consider adding arguments on to the LED Blinky cmd out (since it is already configured)? My current guess is you have LEDBlinky.exe <Event#> <RomName> <Emulator> I will try and reach out reach out to Arzoo over at LED Blinky to make sure LED Blinky wouldn't break if it receives arguments that it isn't equipped for, plus do some testing on this end. I'm thinking if we could do a ledblinky .exe <event> <rom> <emulator> <system> <gamename> .....etc, and if LEDBlinky will ignore the stuff it doesn't need we can make it work. I do understand your Launchbox.next taking up, well 100% of your time right now, but if you think it is possible would let us know? We have a working prototype, but right now we are having to do it with EDS, Rocket Launcher, some custom AHKs, and duct tape. Impractical for most users, but if we could get LEDBlinky's CLI tweaked a little, I think we might have something that can be configured quickly and easily.
  4. As far as I can tell, Launchbox and most other Front Ends seem to only support CLI switches/argument variables to the emulator only (and a bit through LED Blinky). If I use additional apps I believe I can only launch a CLI command with fixed parameters correct? Question 1. How can I launch an independent 3rd party app via cmd line with argument variables from LaunchBox/Bigbox? I know I can use RocketLauncher to get all the arguments and then launch my emulator if I set RocketLauncher up as my main emulator for everything, but that is working in series of Launchbox>RocketLauncher>Emulator. I want to be able to go Launchbox>3rd Party (with arguments) in PARALLEL with Launchbox>emulator (with arguments) Question 2. Where would I find a list of arguments that Launchbox/Bigbox uses/supports? A slightly different way of looking at it is I would like to be able to launch 2 emulators for one game. One emulator is the real thing, while the second emulator is a "ghost" emulator, but it receives all the arguments. We are creating some software that is designed to be used in parallel with any emulator/any front end to augment the user's experience, but it requires that the front end be able to broadcast out the arguments to something else OTHER than just the one emulator. Thanks in advance Praxis
    Not sure why this isn't getting the reviews, but absolutely LOVE the Back to the Future Music tie in. Fits in perfectly!
