syztemlord Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi guys, Is there an option in Big Box to select a random game? I know there is one in default Launch Box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 There isn't in BigBox, but this has been requested a lot and there is a ticket for it on the BitBucket. You can search and vote on that ticket if you'd like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syztemlord Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Great, thanks! Thought that may of been the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progets Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Isn't that backwards? A feature in the free version that isn't in the paid version. I understand the voting and that there are priorities but it makes no sense to lose a feature when going to a "better" version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in Big Box, I'd imagine it works differently to Launch Box so would need to be coded separately. Not a huge issue though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still use the random game option in LaunchBox after upgrading to premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 They mean in BigBox Cid. BigBox and LaunchBox are different code bases. What goes in to LaunchBox wont necessarily make it in to LaunchBox, and since LaunchBox was made first well before BigBox there may be some things that are missing.

CriticalCid Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I know that they mean BigBox. But “lose a feature” sounds like that it would just vanish in LaunchBox when you upgrade to premium. I just wanted to clarify that. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Yeah you can use the feature regardless of what version of LB you are using so really nothing is lost. That being said I wouldn't hate to see that feature added to BigBox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Here’s the link to the BitBucket ticket for the lazy ones. I just voted for it as well ;) https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/195/big-box-option-to-random-select-game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks Cid I voted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaderag Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Bitbucket link above seems dead - does this mean this feature exists? If so, how do I do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
