Wiki or help Docs?

[AdamL]

Is there a Launchbox/Big Box wiki or other help documentation?

I know there are YouTube tutorials, but it’s difficult to find the right one and then difficult to scroll through the video to find what you’re after—and then there usually isn’t the info or detail that you were looking for.

Note that I tried to create an account, but I could t get past the “popular manufacturer of arcade consoles” security question.  I tried Capcom, Taito, Sony, Microsoft, and Atari — but none of them worked.  (Okay, it finally worked with “Sega” — otherwise, this post never would have happened.)

Thanks!

The LaunchBox Strategy Guide

The main YouTube page can be difficult to navigate though.  To me, the Tutorials page is a little easier to at least be able to scroll through.

When looking for something specific (here on the Forums), I find the Search (top of the page) results are hit or miss. Weighing heavy on the miss side.  So if what I'm after is not in the Strategy Guide or is a unique asking, Googling "LaunchBox I need info about xyz" usually works pretty well.

Awesome, thanks!

Is there anything similar (to the Strategy Guide) for BigBox?

If you go to the LaunchBox for Windows section, it covers both LaunchBox and Big Box.

Grabbing one at random... Additional Apps, at the bottom of the article it has the section Accessing Additional Apps in Big Box.

 

Note, on the Strategy Guides' main page, the Search for articles field actually does fairly well.  I believe it's AI driven, pulling from misc. LaunchBox resources.
