DOS76 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'm sure that @Jason Carrhas merely overlooked this and will be able to code something up that will import disc from the additional apps data as I can see this being an issue for people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatman84 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Just wondering if there’s a bit of a roadmap/poll for Android port additional features? Very nice to see the port becoming a thing, as yet I cant make the move from HS Android on STV but I may give it a little test this week on my phone, my LB setup is minimal.

But If I buy it when it's $5 do I still need to buy it again, when the price have increased?? I have nothing against to pay more, since I have been waiting for this forever, but still, it's good to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if it's a dumbass question ?? Yes, though not in this initial release. That's pretty important though so that will be coming soon.

I have been rooting for this for a year or 2 now as I love my LB/BB and am thrilled to see it happening! From what I have learned so far, I think the export from a PC feature is genius! I love that it copies of my artwork, as I have done much customization to it for speed rather than scraping again. I am extremely curious how well or even if the new LB app is going to play well with SMB shares / NAS's, etc. If you have TB's of games as I do, it is essential to not have multiple copies every where, but be able to have to stored in one place and all the devices be able to access them from the single location. I am able to do that now using my current front-end on my android devices. Anyone have any info on this? The issue with using a NAS is that you'd have to be local to the NAS, or have some kind of a public-facing web server hosting all the stuff. Plex does it well but it's very complicated. It's possible that we might support something like this eventually, but it's a fairly long ways off. The initial goal for the app is just to make everything work locally, and with the size and cost of SD cards these days, I don't see that as too much of a hindrance. 22 hours ago, GonjaT said: Hi. I have come across an issue with android export in launchbox. Please remove if this is in the wrong spot. When I export ps1 games, I have a game with 4 disc's, all have .cue and .bin files. It will only copy the cue from disc one, and that's all and no othe bins or cues for disc one to four. The same happens with single disc games with cue files, it will just export the cue and not the associated bin file. Thanks for the great work though. Been using launchbox since 2014 ish. Have a great day! I have a list of known issues that I was waiting to post until Google finally approves the Android app and it goes live, but this is a known issue that I was planning on posting. Bin and cue files will be supported, but they're not supported yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get in early at $5, you'll have it forever for that price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it’s ever going to happen, just pointing out that iOS has become more open than most people know. Not Android level, but better than it was in the past.

We may do this at some point in the future (if the demand is high enough), but since Apple doesn't allow emulators in their store, you'd have to have a rooted device in order to use it for emulation. My guess would be that Apple wouldn't allow LaunchBox in the Apple Store either, but I'm not really sure. The good news though is that we're using Xamarin, which supports both Android and iOS, so porting the Android version to iOS wouldn't require starting over from scratch.

Have they started allowing emulators in the store yet though? That's the biggest limiting factor as far as I know.

Jason Carr Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 To update everyone, unfortunately I'm still waiting on Google. On Tuesday, they rejected the submission with complaints that they couldn't properly test the app because it was bugged. I *think* this just happened because they couldn't be bothered to test the desktop export process, and so they didn't have any data to test with, and just gave up. So I went back to work and added a feature that automatically adds native Android applications into an Android platform, so that they'll hopefully have data to play with. I submitted that version also Tuesday morning and I haven't heard back yet. The site says another three-day wait. I'll admit that I'm a bit frustrated, but as I want to use the Play Store, I don't really have much choice. If we keep running into garbage though, I'll have no choice but to bypass the Play Store. But if that happens, it'll be a pain for users because they'll have to enable the side loading of apps on their devices, which I would much prefer users not to have to do. 3 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average joe isn’t gonna side load emulators, or search everywhere for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
