Who_Dunnit_Roger Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I have been blessed with a daughter who loves nothin than spending time with me, watching old movies, reading all my comic books and playing arcade games. As a surprise for her Birthday in 4 months, I have decided to build her a home multicade. I have done an extensive amount and research, I understand the benefits of Front-end setups vs Launchbox and their integration with RGSX. I have purchased a mini pc but love the idea of creating my own book and feel for her machine. The issue I have - Launchbox seems daunting, is it as overwhelming as it seems. is this overkill for what I would like to do. Does the setup and amount of time needed to invest in emulators etc far exceed going with a more user friendly approach. I really want to do this correctly but would love some advice and guidance. Thank you Quote

Thank you Good news is that library setup can be done entirely on the free version. Can just download it and see for yourself without losing much. I admit I'm a bit biased but personally feel LB is pretty easily one of the easiest front ends to set up. Point it to your ROMs and let it do every for ya. For most emulated systems it'll tell ya the recommended emulator and be able to grab it for ya. After you run the import and let it grab the emulator you just need to tweak any emulator settings you want and you should be up and running. As long as you're not going super complicated you should be able to go from install to launching games with LB within the hour (depending on how much media you grabbing ofc). If you decide to go down this rabbit hole and run into any specific issue forums are here to ask the community for help. We also have several videos on YT and Featurebase (Help and Support link at the top of the forums) has several help guides as well. Quote
