wildaces Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) Hey everyone! Just wanted to post about a personal project for LaunchBox \ BigBox I've been working on. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/collection/games?n=Wildaces *UPDATED* - I've made quite a number of neat changes to the configuration! Leaning into the Launch Before and Launch After aspects of Launchbox to launch (thats alotta launch) a configuration swap script, then leaning into the Launch With area to use multiple emulators with multiple controllers, we have... Retromode 2.0! @AcesArcade - My Youtube Home! 🕹️ **Up-to-Date Games**: Every PS3, XB360, and VITA game is patched to the latest version, with all DLCs and addons preinstalled. Retro games are also the latest patched ROMs. No duplicates! 🎮 **Controller Flexibility**: Play any game with any controller you choose— Arcade Panel, XInput AND DInput FOR ANY GAME! Switch Mode, Wiimotes, Guitar Hero, Taiko Drums, DJ Hero, Rock Band, 6 Button, Gamecube, Nintendo 64 controllers for their specific sections! 🔫 **Sinden Lightgun Section**: A unique script disables Sinden guns on a hardware level when not in use, ensuring no impact on other sections. 🎸 **Clone Hero**: Includes every Rockband and Guitar Hero song with synchronized videos for an authentic experience. 🖥️ **Updated Emulators**: All emulators are running the latest versions. 🏆 **RetroAchievements**: Configured for all supported games. 🎨 **Dynamic Game Art**: Game art updates dynamically as you scroll. Category art and game-specific media (music, videos, boxes, screenshots, fanart) available. 📚 **Game Manuals**: Catch up on a lost piece of gaming media and remember how to play, available for most every game. 🎵 **Background Music**: Random game music plays in the background, game specific music will play if available. 📺 **Uniform Game Display**: All games are formatted to launch with a cohesive TV bezel, shader and format, ensuring a consistent look. 📦 **Comprehensive Game Collection**: Includes all North American and European retail games, translations, unlicensed and network games. DOS games are ready to play, with console games formatted mostly in 1G1R. 🖼️ **Dynamic Art Generation**: Banners, logos, and fanart for games are combined and generated automatically via plugin. MAME games feature high-quality original banners and custom bezels. 🎤 **Karaoke Section**: Lyrics on-screen with two dedicated Shure SM58 stage microphones and a vocal TC Helicon Mic Mechanic pedal that works in emulators. Feel free to connect up some real instruments! 🎧 **Studio Setup**: Equipped with 2x Numark HDX turntables, a Numark Scratch Timecode mixer, and a Mackie MR624 Studio Monitor for vocals. The system is connected through a Mackie ProFX10v3 10-Channel Mixer and an Pioneer SC-9540 receiver with Polk tower speakers. I've slowly been adding new videos, here's one going over the hardware if you're curious!

christhed Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Looks amazing ! It's insane that you fit so many Xbox 360 and PS3 games. I was thinking of making a similarish setup. What size TV is that and how does it feel ? I'm thinking 27 inch would be great for arcade games but too small to sit back with a controller. Any thoughts ?

wildaces Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 The TV in this setup is a 70" 1080P TV I had leftover after I updated to a 4k and thought it would be perfect for this project The main thing for this setup is distance from the TV, the arcade panel moves and the cords go like 6' back or so, which is essential for this size. Also for Wiimotes and Lightguns requiring the distance. It actually is a 3D tv with glasses, so I was thinking of eventually working 3D into this somehow, might be neat! 27" is great depending on distance! Smaller TV's work great for older console games also by just not blowing up such a low res. I'm sure you would have a fantastic time sitting back with a controller with that! Honestly half the fun here is scrolling through the old games, looking at the art and just remembering good times! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildaces Posted Tuesday at 02:09 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 02:09 PM (edited) Hey everyone! Just finished rebuilding the new arcade panel! Currently configuring LEDBlinky but everything seems to be working nicely. 5x J-Stik with illuminated handles 50x Ultimarc GoldLeaf RGB Illuminated buttons 2x Ultimarc Ultimate IO boards U-Trak Illuminated Trackball (Blue) SpinTrak Spinner + now you can slap Cyclops butt on the panel for good luck Cables now can extend a good 10' or so back from the PC and since its entirely usb including the screen I can move it over to another pc. Neat! Edited Tuesday at 03:30 PM by wildaces 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
