CaptainGreenhat Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I am thinking about getting a windows 11 mini pc for my living room box and I'd like everything to have one massively unified interface akin to launchbox... actually I plan on using launchbox for this. I've had android apps running before but it was a pain in the but, however, with windows 11 including an android subsystem it should be as easy as launching any exe from launchbox. Does anyone have any experience with the windows 11 android subsytem? Alternatively, does anyone know of the perfect browser for this? Something I can install strong ad blocking stuff on, that can be launched into full screen, has great controller integration, and can be exited with button combos like retroarch or anything else launchbox can shut off that way? I basically want to use platform categories in big box as my entertainment platform Example Category flow (Thanks for adding nesting by the way!!) Games Arcade Console Etc etc Videos TV Shows Anime Cartoons Streaming etc etc Library Books Comics Manga etc etc Audio Live OTA iHeart etc Streaming Spotify etc etc etc etc etc The subsystem follows command prompts I think (I'm still researching) and android apps tend to work well with controllers thanks to the nvidia shield being so abundantly adopted so android apps would be idea (and let's be honest, look a lot better) but I don't want to buy a shield and be limited to just android. And I want everything in one go. I don't mind the obvious fact I could just use kodi but wellll um, like hyperspin, kodi beats me upside the head when I am setting it up at that level of intricacy. Any advice or recommendations are always super appreciated. PS. This is why I keep requesting a "next button" on the metadata edit screen, like calibre has (for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusVI Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I'm also interested in this. It would also enable us to launch android games in Launchbox without emulators that often don't work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
