Hi, i'm interested in finding out how to access one of the images (the button layout image) during game play... It would be nice if I could have a hotkey or something that I can click to remind me what button does while i am playing. Is this possible? The image is there, but how do you access it? Thanks!

Hi guys, I have just watched the tutorial on how to play Game Cube and Wii games on LaunchBox and what I don't get is the way to layout the xbox 360 controller. I have done it as in the video but I suspect maybe when selecting "classic" instead of nunchuk you go under a sub-setup, not the main layout on the controller section? I have attached a couple of pics showing my configuration. Hope you guys can help Many thanks in advance!

Situation I just got big box after testing regular launchbox for a week and seeing that it handles adding my games quite nicely. I don't really want to do sorting by platform, I want sorting by genre, and sorting by series (for the serieses that I have with several games). After looking around it looks like the best way to accomplish this is by making smart playlists. So I make the playlists, and they seem to be working pretty well for including the titles, but I'm having some issues with layout and visuals. Inside the playlists, I found a view that seems to be working great (though a few games didn't auto-grab some of the images so I'll have to find some suitable images online for them or make them). Problem But in the "Platform list" view for the playlists, I'm having trouble. No matter which theme and view I try for it, the "platform wheel" isn't loading my playlist clear logos, it just shows plain text. At first it was because the images were tagged "banner" (and they were showing up elsewhere), but after going through and setting them all as "Clear Logo" they simply don't seem to be being used. Question Can someone help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your time. [Added Example Image] I'd like the series titles to be replaced with the series logo. Banners are successfully loading in the bottom left; and "Console Images" are loading at the top if I set something to them. Those work fine. Where I'm struggling is getting the wheel to use the transparent logos.

Hi, I've been enjoying the bigbox a bit, but I have a problem I don't like many games defaults keys, I'm using a Windows Generic USB Joypad (Mediacom) for instance Street fighter ones I would replace the strong kick punches since it's misplaced. For games with two buttons (shoot and jump or shoot and special attack I would use a different combo (for some games that require pressing two or more buttons for specials I would like to bind a single button to that combos example: Final Fight or King of Fighters), and so on with games with 4 keys. I would like to make changes to joypad buttons definition on the fly or maybe moving around different layouts while in game, using shortcuts/scripts or something. I'm using RetroArch as the base emulator, any idea on how to achieve something like this ? I ask because I think it would be painful to do it by hands by searching game by game, and assigning a config to this another to that and so on, it would also require to test it individually, instead doing it on the fly swapping button definitions would be pretty useful, possibly with a screen overlay that would be pretty cool.
