Holy crap, glad I came in to check what was new with the plugins.  I've been waiting for something like this since I got back into retro-gaming.  I've tried to play with RocketLauncher, but didn't like it, found it too bloated and cumbersome to setup.  Looking forward to this immensely :)

Looks like I've figured out all the pieces needed to do this. It's too early for me to post the dll, but I will need some help testing especially for Win 8/10; I use 7. The plugin will be a simple dro

Okay I have something ready for testing. It's still an early version and not fully functional, but I'd appreciate some testing on Win 8/10 (I use Win 7). I'll pm those who expressed an interest in tes

Thanks for letting me know. Were you running WootLauncher on purpose, or did you download Ao.Bigbox.Dropins for the other two plugins it contains? Does it only occur in certain situations, e.g., only with Dolphin and (some?) PC games? This plugin is pretty beta so I appreciate the report. If you can provide more info that'd be great; I'll try to get it fixed.

I would like to test your plugin, because PCSX2 is the only emulator I need to see running with bezel. All my other 53 systems work with bezel perfectly.

I have 6 Pcs to test (Windows 7/8/10) I can report the whole process on them.

That'd be great. I'm working on an update and will send it to you this weekend for testing.

Made some more progress -- have a few more issues to work out before I post an update for the testers. Among the additions is support for displaying controller mappings via the pause menu, to remind which button does what for a system. I also tightened up the load/exit screens a bit, and added support for LB (though requires the most recent beta of LB) as well as emulators for which there is no WL configuration. I'll explain all that and more about how to use it in the release. Here's some pics of the integrated PDF manual viewer and a controller mapping.

I had download Ao.Bigbox.Dropins though not sure  from what theme i came from. I  was occurring randomly, I just mentioned the Dolphin emulator and the PC games as I  have been working with those "platform" testing /reviewing video snaps. and making sure games were working..

You might want to disable WootLauncher for now. In the Ao.Bigbox.Dropins.dll.config file, look for WootLauncher.Active and set it to False. Hopefully you won't see this error with the upcoming releases of this library, but please let me know if you do.

UPDATED v0.9.3 - For beta testers. Made quite a few changes, hopefully I didn't break anything. The plugin now requires LB 9.2-beta3+, as it uses Jason's plugin API additions. It works with LB now. The game loading screen and bezels now work even if there is no configuration file, but the pause menu and game exiting screen still require configs, e.g., the game exiting screen is only queued if quitting the emulator from the pause menu. Here are some the of the additions. I keep pushing back the release date because I keep thinking of things to add. Hopefully I'm nearing the "end".

added: support for LaunchBox, though WootLauncher now requires LB 9.2-b3+
added: time played to exiting screen, does not account for pause menu
added: support for load screen and bezels when no configuration is found
added: decorator for manual/controls panel to provide navigation support
added: error overlay messages, e.g., pause menu enabled but unavailable
added: pause menu access to view control mapping (images provided by user)
added: sample control mapping images (dualshock for some RA cores, PCSX2)
added: screenshot slideshow to game loading/exiting screens

Thanks again to all the beta testers who provided feedback: @ALIE, @androtaz08, @bundangdon, @Klopjero, @Kondorito, @Lordmonkus, @MadK9, @misterlamide, @neil9000, @Nicodemus, @Porl Hendy, @Retro808, @Zombeaver. It wouldn't have turned out half as nice without good feedback.
