Good Arcade Frontend for Guests?

[vicfrankenstein]

I've got a theme that I'm happy with for my standup arcade system.  However, it's got thousands of games and many different consoles, options, etc...   It's easy to get lost or go to a game that's not tested.

 

Is there a good front end theme that is easy to navigate and will only show a small swathe of games that have been tested and work well on the machine? 

Anything you can recommend?

Typically the options are:

1. Run two builds, one for you to manage all the roms, and another for when people are over
2. Hide all the games in LaunchBox and then in the View > Show / Hide menu of LaunchBox make it so that "hidden" games are still visible. Then in Big Box you'll only see what you haven't hid

Thank you!

Is there an easy way to duplicate the build and install it making a separate build?

 

I know how to backup the settings, but I figured I'd need to do the roms and everything as well.

LB has the option to backup your data. But in this way you backup your complete romset list and then you have to remove manually what you dont want.

There is also some data that are not backuped, like images, video, Emulators (if you have installed them inside LB), plugins, themes and so on.

You can also make a raw copy of your LB directory. You'll copy it inside another folder and you'll have to delete what you dont need but in this way you keep all your setting. I suggest this way if you have not roms in your LB folder but are in a separated one.
