kingcricket Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Hello! I still don't see things like true "current Xbox game pass offerings" integration or ways to add owned console games (PSN / Nintendo) without things like manual shortcuts or work-arounds; LaunchBox feels like a "local game launcher" and less like a "Game collection Launcher" vs. things like Playnite that has more plugins for other stores (Blizzard, Humble etc) Question: Are you considering expanding official plugin offerings for more stores and services? Or what is the LaunchBox focus going forward? (Auto Configuration? Downloading emulators? 3rd Party Store integration? etc) I think Launchbox on my Arcade or Nvidia Shield is one type of install - local and ready to play, the BigBox experience (and perhaps where the companies vision is), but Launchbox on my Desktop is a different scenario where I can see everything I own. A LaunchBox that is plugged into many different stores and my full gaming front-end, it could be the front end for all the stores and launchers to unify under and not just "What we currently have installed" Anyway, many thanks for an awesome program, looking forward to anything new you have planned for it!

Fr33Ki77 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Is there a way to easily export a png of the 3D box model with LaunchBox to use as 3D box art? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubRetro Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 A Couple of questions. 1. Any future MAME integration with updating the MAME version as well as maybe uploading the new MAME version dat files to handle updating your romset without doing it all outside of LB/BB? 2. LInux support? Would be nice to see that since Linux gaming is in a much better spot than it ever has been. Loving the streams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSpec Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) What do you think about a initiative for synchronizing emulator saves. On Windows you can use syncthing and choose any emulator directory. On android you just can' t choose a directory inside Android/data because of permissions. If you have a rooted device it's easy. So the main goal is to force emulator developers to create a more sync friendly emulator where the user can change save data directory. On Duckstation you can only export and imoprt save data so with syncthing on Windows it syncs correctly but on Android it need to be synced to a shared directory and then in Duckstation you need to import it manually. You have many users, you have resources to start this initiative. What do you think? Edited August 28 by AndrewSpec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Patrick Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 How much hard drive space does that Database take up? Is that why there's no videos added directly to the database? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperCalls Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 It's been on feature request for awhile but can we get "true" analog control for wheel navigation? This is for properly/smoothly navigating the wheel with a trackball (or other analog input) with a sensitivity setting to dial it in. Hyperspin had this & it is the only thing I miss. It's been just an annoyance up until now but there are some recent things in the emulation scene that really needs this. Thx & love me some LB!

Retrofrogg Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Hi, further to our Discord chat @AstroBob, I'd be keen on having Launchbox be able to add custom fields to platforms, just like you curently can for games. I'd be keen to add "generation" and "region" fields to platforms, for example. I would also add some details about the romset and the emulator, for easy reference. I have a top feature requests thread in the features section of the forum, but my other big requests would be rom manager functionality (the ability to read DATs and compare to your roms) and the ability to add more info in the platform tree when viewing in platform or platform category mode (for example, to show the release year of the console there, and maybe the ability to sort by release year). Small requests would include adding more 3D models (cassette primarily), adding support for all 4 spine images, adding a horizontal lock for the rotating 3D box (so it will only rotate in the horizontal plane), and adding more image types for platforms (e.g. box, controller, etc). A number of these issues are on the Github though I'd be grateful for any further consideration of them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
