eleveneleven Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 I have a VPCab Vertigo, which is excellent for vertical games and pinball games. However PinballX (the front end licensed and included with VPCabs) is great for auto-acquiring pinball media and displaying DMDs, and while it does support MAME media, it doesn't auto-collect the media. I'd like to use LaunchBox instead but can it go vertical? Will it support DMDs for pinball games? Quote
alnyden Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 In my experience, the themes don't look great in vertical mode and the launchbox game database doesn't have much for pinball. Quote
eleveneleven Posted July 12, 2017 Author Posted July 12, 2017 That's a real shame as it seems like there's no solution for vertical cabinets that is good for media scraping. Quote
Lordmonkus Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 I believe all that is required is a theme to be made to use the vertical orientation. Quote

Lordmonkus Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Multi display I am fairly certain is already in BigBox but it is something I have not messed around with at all. Quote
JaysArcade Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Not to sound like a hater (is that what the kids are saying nowadays?), if you are looking for decent pinball support, I would look elsewhere. Can you get pinball to work with Launchbox? Yes. Is it easy? No. Also, the database leaves much to be desired. You'll need to find and load all the media manually and there are no fields to display table authors or special art categories for back glass, DMDs, etc. But that's just my take on it. Quote
