nathanddrews Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Like the title says, I just tried out LB the other day after searching for a lightweight, portable frontend. I have tried many FEs, most have their strengths, but LB/BB seems like a great balance of features, customization, and stability combined with the footprint and portability I want. My compliments to the programmer(s)! My wife and I are building a 4-player arcade cab and BB will power it. I am trying to focus on only putting together the best games from consoles, PC, and arcades alike. I just don't want 6,000 games that I'll never play... In total, I've been able to work my list down to about 150 games. A decent mid-range PC (i3, GTX 470, SSD) will be powering a 34" Sony widescreen CRT that weighs 210lbs by itself. I'll be sure to post my progress here as I go. So far I have the following emulators: Jnes Kega Fusion SNES9X PJ64 1.6 MAME64 1.64 WinKawaks DOSbox Dolphin PCS2X Any words of wisdom for my journey?

Jason Carr Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Very cool @nathanddrews! I'm actually building my own right now as well (though I'm cheating and going with RecRoomMasters). The one thing I would say is Retroarch will be your secret weapon. It won't cover everything, but I'd replace at least a few of those emulators with Retroarch, just because the uniformity really helps when you have so many platforms. Retroarch makes for a much more seamless experience with cabinets too, because LaunchBox works with it to hide and show the games without any distracting windows and such.

nathanddrews Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Thanks! It was actually your Retroarch tutorial video that sold me. I will be setting that up on the backend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
