Ugene Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Hi all ! I'm so excited, I am coming from another front end that was so glitchy and embarrassing when hosting game nights that I decided to rip apart my build and start from scratch. Having said that, I downloaded Launch Box and a MAME set and man... this thing rocks ! It seems so stable. I do have a lot of questions though. First Question... is this the correct area to ask questions lol!? I have Launch Box and signed up for the life time membership of Big Box. The end game is I want to add the MAME games, Gun Games, Some consoles and get Steam working nicely. Its a 4 player arcade, 1 track ball, 1 spinner ( I do have 3 spinners total though ), 2 8BitDo Wireless Controllers, 2 Guns from RPEG ... any help, recommendations, direction is greatly appreciated. I have a fantastic shop / work area to work with as I run a Graphics Design and Fabrication shop... laser, cnc's, sign printing... so skies the limit ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeran Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Welcome in! Nice cab there, and a very spacious workshop. One thing to note, if you import a full MAME arcade set, by default it will organize the games into different playlists automatically for you, including a light gun games section, which are accessible within both the Platform Category filter area and the Playlists filter area.

Ugene Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Thank you faeran and DarkMatterDM. I have been into the MAME part of this all last night. Very Stable in my opinion, nothing like what I was using, ( hyperspin ). Do you know if I can use any of the games that I got with the hyperspin package and use them with Launch box? Console stuff like Atari 2600, PS3, PS4? I have all of those on a 8tb Drive. I would really like to get House of the Dead if at all possible but i have no idea how to get that going. The Cab you saw in the pic will be redone. That was just before hyperspin was installed and was in operation for about 6 months, then I got discouraged and just shut it off and tucked it away... until I found Launchbox! I'm pumped again lol! ( you probably can tell ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 LaunchBox is entirely file agnostic. You can add any games you want. Just make sure you point it to the correct emulator and the file you're saying is a game is supported by the emulator you're pointing it to.
