![]() ![]() I have 28 buttons so I have Lb pause button and exit separate. I don’t know if there is a way to do this. trust me it is a workaround program and if you can figure out the Config file stuff for LB you will probably be happier in the end. In the end it doesn’t have the initial ease to configure to your liking like hypermarquee but I don’t have to use EDS. Check the forums on launch box and there is a thread. People have made very complex and multi image marquees. ![]() The marquees stuff can be changed in big box via some Config file (text files) but I haven’t gone down that road yet. Hypermarquee is great but can be clunky to use when eds is involved. The answer is yes kinda - please keep in mind I have only used LB/BB for 3-4 days at this point. If you've got the time or knowledge? Try Hyperspin, or find a already created image out on the Internet. That would be my ultimate advice: Use LaunchBox and save yourself the hours of time it takes to get Hyperspin running. That said, I've felt that there are small sacrifices of freedom for choosing the easier option. It's a nightmare for me to imagine having to get a fresh Hyperspin installation up to what LaunchBox can do. That has always been its main focus, providing a nice menu system with great visuals that worked well with arcade controls.įor me personally? I'll never use Hyperspin again because of how incredibly frustrating it is to setup and maintain. Hyperspin, on the other hand, has always been an arcade frontend. But all of those LaunchBox features have come along in Big Box. But I'd argue that Big Box was never intentionally designed to be an arcade frontend, but can definitely serve as one. LB/BB only became a viable arcade frontend replacement once Big Box came out. In a desktop computer environment, there's more interest in game manuals, game descriptions, and other niceties because of the keyboard and mouse interface. LaunchBox started as a way to organize your ROMs and ISOs on your computer (after expanding beyond just DOSBox). But that question made me think about the fundamental differences between Hyperspin vs. You know, I never really thought about that. Just give me a list, a screenshot/video and let’s play. I’m probably just old but does anyone like all the information thrown at the player? I don’t need a full history lesson or to see the ads that companies used back in the day, etc. But in my experience, Steam is the best way to handle traditional controller setups and has the most advanced mapping features outside of some arcane AutoHotKey wizardry. It's understandable, too, if you don't want to add Steam into your setup. My arcade controls aren't here yet, so I can't test this to be sure whether it's an option or not. But if you can add each set of player controls as X-input devices, this could work. If you've got an arcade cab with buttons mapped to keyboard keys, this won't work. I always have Steam running in the background to manage my controllers, but this solution will depend on your setup. You can assign a long-press activation to a controller in Steam. which I would go back to but for the dynamic marquee, which is a main feature of my cab.īack to your original questions, I do have a potential solution to long-press actions. So you would hold the Exit button down for 3-5 seconds to exit a game back to the game list but pressing it again would do nothing (not bring up the options menu).Ĭan BigBox do any of this or do I need to go learn Hyperspin, where I’ve seen this stuff done before? Also, where are all the 4:3 themes? I almost miss the days of MaLa, Gamelauncher, etc. I do not want anyone to be able to change settings unless they pull out a keyboard. Remove access to the Options menu via the Exit/Back button. Set up one button for “Pause” and “Exit back to game list” - press for pause but hold for 3-4 seconds to exit. All images are centered, which doesn’t work for my set up. I bought the BigBox license and I like the software generally but I cannot figure out how to do a bunch of things I want to do for an arcade cab I’m working on: This includes roms, bios and Launchbox cracks and license files.įeel free to discuss anything gaming and emulation related such as guides, tutorials, emulators, tips on improving the emulation experience, etc. The main Launchbox forums has a lot of useful information and is where you will find many helpful users to help trouble shooting any issues and answering any questions you may have.ĭon't ask for or link directly to pirated software or copyrighted material without permission of the copyright holder.
