playpopo Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi, I am new here and I saw the BigBox demo on youtube is quite interesting. Before I make purchase, I wonder if there is a trial for LaunchBox Premium (even just 3 days or 10 times uses) I really want to see how it work on my arcade cabinet.

SentaiBrad Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Unfortunately one doesn't exist and is a little hard for us to enforce. I am however more than willing to answer any questions that you may have about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveBarker Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Couldn't be possible to revoke(editing it) the XML license remotely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 CliveBarker said Couldn't be possible to revoke(editing it) the XML license remotely? Not without a giant security hole or a breach of trust. We try really hard to also provide a no DRM experience as well, which is what that would be under, more or less it checking in to the server from the internet and Jason also deems that a breach of trust.

Walrus13 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi Playpopo, I was the same as you, looking for a trail before laying down the money for Bigbox. What i can tell you is that after making the purchase Bigbox has exceeded all my expectations and runs flawlessly. I would also be happy to answer any queries you have about it, but as someone who has toyed with other frontends like hyperspin, Bigbox is 100 times easier to setup and a joy to use :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playpopo Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 thank you for your quick reply. Another question, if I purchase the annual $20 license. Will all premium functions stop working after a year? Or I just can no longer update the program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 All the features you have up until when your license expires will still be functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 When the license expires you'll no longer be able to upgrade the software, if you do then your Premium features will stop working. If you stay at the same version they'll continue to work. You'll either need to purchase another year at that point or the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLight79 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hello, I also would like a couple day trial, but i see this has been covered. Unfortunately i am a noob to frontends, and i'm learning the setup process from the ground up. PS-I HATE MESS AND MAME. I have not been able to get either up and running for the Atari 5200 roms; but its w.e, sorry i digress. My problem is that as i go along i have ideas of WHAT i would like to do, but i have no idea of what it would be called or if its a premium option. I'm really not looking to spend $50 out the gate on anything i dont know i'm going to PERFECTLY like. If I say spend the $20 for 1 year, and decide "HEY THIS IT GREAT I WANT IT!" ;If its within say 10 days to a month, Could I then just pay the remainder to upgrade to the forever license?

Lordmonkus Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Try out the free version at first to get a handle on how it all works getting your games and emulators setup. Yes, if you bought the one year license at 20$ you can upgrade at any point to a lifetime for 30$ As for Mame / Mess and Atari 5200 that actually is not too bad to get setup, it's actually easier now than it used to be. We can help you with getting it setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLight79 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 TY Lord, I went ahead an purchased last night. So not I am dabbling in themes. Watched the video on Jasons setup However criticalzone_-_cityhunter is no longer listed in downloads that i can see. I'm a HUGE Tron fan, and if anything i would love the GRID background as a starting point for a custom theme. where can i find this and the fonts? Thank you for your consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Its packaged in BigBox now. As for modifying and creating themes there. a documentation.pdf file in the Themes folder and I believe there is a tutorial video on the Youtube channel and im sure some of the theme creators around here are willing to help out.

And Thank You neil for your response The original Cityhunter theme is no longer available as it has been updated to 2.0. You could try asking the theme maker if he still has a copy of the original theme, his name is @keltoigael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i have any other isses i will post to a new thread. Thankx again guys Hi. Unfortunately I no longer have the original code. CityHunter 2 brought in a lot of changes, like DPI scaling fixes, a new video engine that supports random multiple background videos (single background auto loops). All of the original views are still there with additional new ones. All optional videos are still included in the theme download section. The code was also cleaned it making it much easier to customize to your liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
