I have been looking for a good save manager for ages. I hope this eventually works with PC games. I hate that PC games save in documents, app data or in your grandma's outhouse. Especially because I reinstall windows frequently
Something like that would be great, but I highly doubt it will work with such games since PC games like that require editing configuration files to specify save file directories. Maybe something like that with some limited Steam support might be possible, since it's a bit more standardized, but besides that it would be really difficult.
I bought bigbox a few years ago and it was such an easy decision - It's FANTASTIC. I have it on my custom arcade cabinet, it's *perfect* there is nothing else out there quite like it, it makes the experience. I'm stoked to see launchbox/bigbox coming out with updates too, it makes me feel even better about my purchase 👏
I've spent so many hours trying to come up with a good solution for save files. A save management feature like this is definitely one of my favorite LaunchBox features.
Good job! Still waiting for an option to combine multiple filters to populate playlists (choose "AND" for multiple criterias, currently it's always "OR"). For exemple: show me games that were released before 1985 →AND← use more than one joystick. I think the best implementation of this feature was the Smart Playlist feature of iTunes.
A lot of us are still waiting for a feature that allows you to map your BB navigation controls on a "per controller" basis so that you could pick up any one of your controllers and navigate BB. It's been yeaaarrrsss. Maybe someday they'll get to usability and sorting stuff.
Regarding Game Discovery: I'd live to have a filter to show not only games I have but games I don't have in any given list. Maybe present the games I don't have as greyed out or title only, in case art wasn't downloaded. The Game Discovery will be so much more useful (to me at least) if it serves as a game recommendation for games I don't own yet.
one thing to keep in mind, we already have a game recommendation feature. If you find a game you particularly like in the Game Discovery Center, you can click on it, click on View Related Games in the menu and see a list of recommended games similar to that one that are both in and not in your library. We initially thought about adding it directly to the Game Discovery Center, but the performance trade-off was just not there.
Cool new feature! It'd be awesome to have a compatibility indicator for supported emulators. Also, fixing some bugs on the Android version would be great. I can't get DuckStation, Drastic, or Lime3DS to work, and they're the best emulators out there right now.
but still just one savestate? I like RL's pause menu that shows you every save state available in the emulator, shows you a screenshot of it, and lets you save/load all from that menu.
Happy to see updates. Any idea when you guys will add a feature in BigBox to sort or filter by star rating like you can in Launchbox? I'd like to sort the game in each platform that way and have the system save that setting so I don't have to manually adjust it every time.
Forget the trial of Big bgbox, if you can afford it, wait until a deal is on. If you have the money to buy it, then buy it. If you cannot afford it then stick to coinops. However, I brought it, and I am glad that I did or 90% I am glad that I did.
I agree, but if they can't afford it now and are debating on buying it when they can, a 30 minute trial is not near enough time to get them pull the trigger. There are SO many things you can do. Something like, AT LEAST, a 4 hour trial will give them a much more informed and awe inspiring glimpse.
Hi there, the 30-minute trial is not a one time thing, it means each time you open Big Box you're able to test it out for 30 minutes, albeit with launching games and themes disabled
Thank you very much for the contributions. For the next videos, could you add Spanish subtitles so we don't have to translate them? greetings from Colombia
Is there any way to group together different playlists in the Playlist tab sort of like in Platform Categories? You can see at 4:46 that most of those playlists are all just Arcade playlists. It would be nice to be able to group them together with a dropdown menu that can be collapsed so that the playlist tab isn't completely dominated just by Arcade games.
ive asked this a few times but just get ignored like this message i suppose ,i would like an option so you can add if you have this game as a physical copy so it shows up quite clearly you own it
Hey, is anyone from he used you maybe Launchbox on one of these handhelds rp4pro, rg556, rg cube and now rg406v? If so, please let me know how it works and if you compare it to ES-DE
Can save/state backups be configured to happen automatically? I have a NAS, and it would be epic to set my backup directory to a network shared drive and have my save game/state backups automatically maintained there by LB. Also, will Big Box be getting some hotkey/button mapping options to create new backups from a game's settings menu?
Probably unlikely, they've stated previously it relies on too much windows specific features to port when asked previously. However they did suggest the android version may eventually become the Linux version.
So when are they going to fix the fact that it can barely handle 1000 games without slowing to a crawl on an NVME drive? Seriously, Emulation Station is free and handles millions of titles, with art, and better themes.
Spent a lot of money on this, and they don't fix critical bugs, that have been around for years. Just look at their bug tracker, nobody replies, it's just one entire click-bait by people writing code temporarily once a season, totally ridiculous.
They fix bugs like all the time dude. Every version has a ton they fix. Tell them the bug even through a direct message and you'll get a reply. These guys work hard
No bugs, bro, and if one does sneak in from its vile corner, the dev team is quick to fix. This has an ETAPRIME STAMP ITS PERFECTION!!! END USER ISSUES MORE LIKE IT...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great to hear ETA Prime!!
Looks amazing, finally some way to centralize my saves, I love the Game Discovery feature too I use it often to play random titles. Awesome work guys!

Love the new save game / state feature! Especially the badges. Keep up the awesome work y'all.
I wish Big Box had quick access to setting like in retrobat.

Full Blown backer on both projects, 110% amazing, keep up the amazing work
love to see the System makes progress. Great Software for your pile of games

I totally agree we really need this feature.Developers please add this feature.
Excellent
Yes saves that’s what I’ve been waiting for !!!

First oh yeah go me. I decided to use Launchbox as my main front end due to ease of use, backing everything up and file management.
Killin it 🎉
but still just one savestate? I like RL's pause menu that shows you every save state available in the emulator, shows you a screenshot of it, and lets you save/load all from that menu.
Nice informative video as usual. I must ask, how is your details window on top? Mine sticks to the right and yours looks 500% better
Custom theme called Big Details

@@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC Ok. Sorry, that wasn't clear. That should be a good amount of time to check out all the features.
Thank you very much for the contributions.

Looking good!! BTW does anybody know which visual theme is being used in the video? I really love it.
It`s a great app, but are there any plans to bring it to Linux?
Love it!
ETA ! you know somthing! if igo back on time to 80s and i will never dream like 1% of what lunchbox give me now ! thx alot

How is the integration of Visual Pinball (and other pinball emulators) treated in LaunchBox at the moment?
My only issue is poor performance in Big Box Mode when running Windows in 4K. Most themes are choppy.
ive asked this a few times but just get ignored like this message i suppose ,i would like an option so you can add if you have this game as a physical copy so it shows up quite clearly you own it
It would be nice to have GDC per platform or even a way to flag certain platforms to be ignored by GDC
Would love to see access to the saves from the plugin API. Any chance of adding an ability to get the metadata about saves for a given IGame?
Still no achievements showing for Gamecube though...
Hey, is anyone from
he used you
maybe Launchbox on one of these handhelds rp4pro, rg556, rg cube and now rg406v? If so, please let me know how it works and if you compare it to ES-DE
If you modified your save states setup in RA, you have to be careful. I just lost all my save states. :( I am unable to find them. :(

can any kind soul tell me how I can place the detail pane on the top like that?
Tools > Manage > LaunchBox Themes, download and apply the Big Details theme
What we're the fixes?

@@grymmjack Josh said soon on the anniversary stream. It will take a while but it is happening eventually
Is the thumbnail AI??

What’s the critical bugs 😂
