thraxlol Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hey guys, I'm curious as to what systems every has configured in Launchbox! Just about everyone has the classics like NES, SNES, Master System, etc... and there's plenty of tutorials for some more obscure or older systems - but I'm curious as to what you guys actually bother configuring and have collections for. Personally I have the below list, which is a bit more expansive than anyone really NEEDS, as there's literally thousands of titles that are never going to get a play - but that doesn't stop me from wanting more What do you guys have? A few more than I have but don't have configured are things like eXoDOS, WineXo, and Xbox (which can't be emulated if I'm correct? I just have the game images). 3DO 32X Atari 2600 Atari 5200 Atari 7800 Atari Jaguar Atari Lynx Bandai Wonderswan Colour Colecovision Laserdisc MAME Neo Geo Neo Geo Pocket Colour Nintendo64 Nintendo DS Nintendo Entertainment System Nintendo Gameboy Nintendo Game Boy Advanced Nintendo Game Boy Colour Nintendo Virtual Boy Philips CD-i Sega CD 32X Sega Dreamcast Sega Game Gear Sega Genesis Sega Master System Sega Saturn Sony Playstation Sony Playstation 2 Sony PSP Super Nintendo Turbografx-16 Zinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mute64 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I added a "LaunchBox" system and added things like LaunchBox Youtube ( in youtube couch mode) so it looks like it does on consoles. Then i added LaunchBox forums, YT SimpleAustin, YT Metal Jesus and many more websites like walkthrus and rom downloading sites. It is all open in Chrome Kiosk mode so its like full screen chrome with no boarders so it doesn't break the illusion that your are on a pc.... its all navigated by a controller as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Kodi set up too so that I can access Big Box and Steam Big Picture from the menu. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I have the following:3DOAmigaArcade (which I use as a catchall for everything that isn't CPS-1, CPS-2, Neo Geo, Atomiswave, Naomi, Model 2, and TTX - including CPS-3 because I didn't see the point in having an entire platform for 6 games)Atari 8-bit (which is a custom platform for Atari 800 + Atari XEGS because I don't know why these are in separate platforms in the DB - yes the hardware itself was slightly different but the games themselves are literally the same, XEGS packaging was just rebranding; it would be like having separate platforms for Playstation and PSOne)Atari 2600Atari 7800Atari ST Atomiswave Capcom CPS-1 Capcom CPS-2 Classic PC (this is a custom platform I made for post-DOS PC games that are at least 10 years old - Thief, Gothic 2, Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, etc. I felt weird lumping these games in with modern PC stuff)Commodore 64 MS-DOS Mugen Neo Geo Nintendo 64 Nintendo DS Nintendo Entertainment System Nintendo Game Boy Nintendo Game Boy Advance Nintendo Game Boy Color Nintendo Gamecube ScummVM Sega CD Sega Dreamcast Sega Genesis Sega Master System Sega Model 2 Sega Naomi Sega Saturn Sharp X68000 Sony Playstation Sony Playstation 2 Sony PSP Super Nintendo (SNES) Taito Type X TurboGrafx-16 TurboGrafx-CD Windows (this is a combination of Steam and GOG games that I've manually imported - I don't have a separate Steam platform because doing the built-in Steam import just dumps your entire catalog of owned Steam games regardless of whether or not they're installed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaysArcade Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Is everyone calling Daphne, Laserdisc now? Just curious. Can't believe no-one does pinball. Really missing out! I'm at work and can't give you my list of platforms from here but some that I don't see that I have - American Laser Games, Future Pinball, Visual Pinball, Pinball-FX, Jukebox, Comics, Magazines. But, I guess you did ask "what systems?" which a lot of those are not systems per-se but hell, why not add those too? LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good actually. I use controller compainion its on steam and its a bloody god send. It has its own "virtual keyboard" that is made for controllers... the mouse movement is also great.... i don't even have a mouse n keyboard connected up at all. And i can download,unzip and add roms to my system with ease with out a need for a mouse or keyboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crush Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Besides the usual that everybody has, i also have: Visual Pinball and Interactive Fiction 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thraxlol Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 How do you find Visual Pinball - presumably on a regular screen? Prior to startig with Launchbox, this PC was actually the guts of a virtual pinball cabinet I was making and was loaded with VP and FP tables, as well as PinballFX2 adn TBA from Steam.... I gave up because I couldn't be bothered building a custom pinball shell, and I live very enarby Arcooda who have a professional virtual pinball arcade due for release this year so I figure I'd rather just buy one of them than constantly re-do all the f*cking around it takes to setup a virtual pinball of my own (for anyone that's considering it, to do it really nicely there is a metric ass-load of customization you need to do for the displays and every individual table you download, not to mention creating your own video media etc). Anyway.... I'm guessing putting it in LB essentially just launches it in a pretty way to play it 'as it was made' for a desktop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thraxlol Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Damn, that's a hell of a list @Styphelus! On top of what I currently have I also need to add the assorted Pinball software and Steam, and I'm hanging for an importer for WineXo and eXoDOS as I've got this sitting here too. Beyond that I need to go searching for any other systems as I don't have the files for them. GameCube really interests me, but not Wii and Wii U etc.. this PC's purpose is to have USB xbox360 controllers plugged into it and sit in my office for my team to play on in breaks, so I don't need anything as elaborate as motion controls. So I'm kinda assuming there's no point me chasing down like ZX Spectrum and C64 stuff either, as I don't plan on having a keyboard connected to this thing either unless it's really worth it.

The Visual Pinball images you see above are actually screenshots (taken with Fraps) of the pinballs as they show on my monitor. In desktop mode (as above) you only need to make very few changes if you get the Desktop VP tables from here: http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showcat=51&sort_order=desc&sort_key=file_updated&num=10 Edited March 24, 2017 by Crush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
