Jason Carr Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 The aim of this thread is to test and confirm/fix coverage for the LaunchBox and Big Box startup and pause screens, as well as detail good, working AutoHotkey scripts. I've replaced the table that used to be here with a Google Sheets document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wuGiwg8I5QqulDncQvGBZP83BVDSXpbSOzdYqDrsCxI/edit?usp=sharing The above document contains compatibility details on all known emulators, and known working scripts for many of them. There are two sheets in the document, so be aware that you can navigate between them via the tabs on the bottom. Please let us know if: You're aware that an emulator in the document no longer works properly on modern versions of Windows (so we can remove it from this list) You're aware that an emulator has been completely obsoleted (so we can remove it from this list) You're aware of a missing emulator (so we can add it) You've tested and confirmed an emulator broken or working for startup and/or pause screens You have working scripts to add to the document We have moderators who have access to editing the document, so please post in this thread if you have something to add, and we'll get it updated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Tested over two days frequently changing games and going in and out of pause screen multiple times in each game and then testing each game several times. Pause Screens: Model 3 (SuperModel) - worked well (no issues). Model 2 - the more times I went in and out of pause I would get black screen or frozen image, but still heard audio. CXBX-Reloaded - working well (No issues). Xenia - working well (no issues). ePSXe - working well (no issues). Startup Screens: Model 3 (SuperModel) - worked well (no issues). Model 2 - worked well (no issues). CXBX-Reloaded - worked well (no issues). Xenia - worked well (no issues). ePSXe - worked well (no issues). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you test the startup screens for those as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to both. I did not mention Startups since those have worked fine for me the last few betas. I guess it would have helped the list to confirm. I edited the original post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juzzotec Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hi @Jason Carr can you please add extra columns for each setting within Game Startup. This thread is a good idea to compile working startup settings for each platform too. Also would be better to have a comments or more columns for emulator settings. This would then be the ultimate thread for seamless startup integration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Pause Screens: PPSSPP - working well (no issues). ReDream - working well (No issues). Cemu (version 1.15.4b) - working well (no issues). Kega Fusion - works well if you set resolution to match your monitor. Startup Screens: PPSSPP - working well (no issues). ReDream - working well (No issues). Cemu (version 1.15.4b) - working well (no issues). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Thank you guys; I've updated the table with everyone's testing results. 10 hours ago, wallmachine said: Built in settings mean no configuration just standard right? Actually it means whether or not LaunchBox has the emulator pre-configured via the drop down list in Add/Edit Emulator. 9 hours ago, Juzzotec said: Hi @Jason Carr can you please add extra columns for each setting within Game Startup. This thread is a good idea to compile working startup settings for each platform too. Also would be better to have a comments or more columns for emulator settings. This would then be the ultimate thread for seamless startup integration. I'd rather keep this more simple; I'm not looking to create an end-all list of emulators, though I'm sure it could be adapted in another thread. Startup settings can vary based on the emulator's configuration, so while there are usually good default settings, they're not always guaranteed. 5 hours ago, Retro808 said: Pause Screens: PPSSPP - working well (no issues).

Cemu (version 1.15.4b) - working well (no issues). We do have some conflicting feedback on the Cemu startup screens; I've had at least one person tell me that they weren't working. It was probably a settings issue though I'm guessing. Can anyone else test Cemu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for maybe a couple minor game recommendations. I only have about 10 games so... I just tested 3 Cemu builds and all seem to have no issues with Startups or Pause (versions 1.15.2, 1.15.4b, and 1.15.5c). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Awesome, thanks guys. Updated the table. Trying to get confirmations from three different people for each one before we go ahead and call it official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Visual Pinball X Startup Screen - Good Pause Screen - Pause is good. But when you un-pause, it goes to VPX's editor window. Press Alt+Tab (once to get back to the table's window [titled "Visual Pinball Player"]), it will pause/un-pause without issues until you exit and a new table is loaded. Pinball FX2 Startup Screen - Good Pause Screen - Pause is good. But when you un-pause, it goes to FX2's menu (paused). Not that big of an issue. Future Pinball Startup Screen - Good Pause Screen - Does not work. (nothing happens) Dolphin another confirmation that all's good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
