Jason Carr Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 @ninja2bceen, I messaged you but I'll respond here as well. Agreed that it would be pretty cool, we just would need the community to maintain the data. We should put that on the next poll. @dovella Collection syncing via Dropbox, etc. is already possible just by putting the LaunchBox folder inside of the Dropbox folder. @Lmagnus87 I will be providing some demo plugins myself, but we'll be mostly relying on the community to build plugins going forward (I'll just keep developing stuff into LaunchBox and Big Box directly). @spektor56 That should be possible for someone to build soon enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Beta 4 is finally out guys, and the plugin features are available. I'm still working on fleshing out the documentation, but as a reminder, it is available here: http://pluginapi.launchbox-app.com I will of course be adding many more plugin types and such here soon, but if you're a developer and want to develop something and need a new hook, please just PM here. Here are the current plugin types available already: IBigBoxThemeElementPlugin - Add an element/control to a Big Box theme, access the data, and accept user input. IGameMenuItemPlugin - Add a game-specific menu item to the right-click menu in LaunchBox and/or the game details menu in Big Box. The former will basically let you build a control to do whatever you want in Big Box. The latter will let you add a menu item in LaunchBox so you can do whatever that way. Hit me up if you run into any issues guys. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 beta 4 hosed by LB. After it updated, it didn't auto-relaunch. I tried launching LB/BB from their EXEs but it just cycles and neither will boot up (they don't show up in Task Manager either; no errors are given). Tried restarting a couple of times and it didn't fix it. Ran the beta 3 installer and installed it to a different directory and LB booted up fine. Copied the the files from current LB install into this directory and it was back to no booting again, so something is broken. If I run the beta 3 installer over my current install, will I need to re-do my emulators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spektor56 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, eXo said: The "best" emulator for several consoles is debatable. A process that chooses a "best" emulator would be an endless debate and seen as launchbox playing favorites. Not to mention many folks spend alot of time setting specific inputs and video settings in their respective emulators of choice. By "best" i mean the one that actually boots the game and plays it. Some games don't work on certain emulators or require certain hacks to be enabled to work properly. It would be easy for a non-poweruser / Kid to get up and running this way. I'm pretty sure you do the same thing with ur Bat files loading DosBox with specific settings for each game do you not? Also, waiting patiently for your release with launchbox. Have 3 4tb drives just sitting inside my computer doing nothing because I lost the sata power cables for my modular power supply lol. Just gonna hook them up when i buy my new pc.

spektor56 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 the only somewhat helpful information there is "System.NullReferenceException", you need the stack trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If needed, you can download beta 5 directly here and just install it on top of your existing folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nzdxq8aa8m4gik9/LaunchBox-7.10-beta-5-Setup.exe?dl=0 That file in the Dropbox link is still uploading but should be ready momentarily. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
