New users wont appreciate how easy this is but let me tell you, this will save you SOOOO much work! For instance it took me hours figuring out how to make project 64 work with my wireless xbox controller. Things like this is what makes
This a game changer! Especially for newer users.

The retroarch integration is a game changer! You guys seem like magicians.

[arcademania]

This might have convinced me to give LB a try. Some guys like tinkering with builds, but I just want to PLAY. 😝

Would love to see more in depth tutorials on getting DosBOX, ScummVM, Windows, and other retro systems up here. Basically, would love some updated versions of all your old Launchbox tutorial videos! Great work!

[mattargar]

The average PC user will have few issues with Launchbox. Thoroughly recommend it. I upgraded to Big box and next the project is to put it all in a cabinet! Been tinkering with emulators for years, to finally have them all in one home is amazing! Rose tinted goggles ahoy!!

My Toshiba P200 -RT5 is still kicking ass in 2024. How is this thing still alive? I love this retro beast. Stand alone emu only.

Seeing how to import higher end systems like GameCube, Wii, and perhaps even Wii U would be great.

[GordosTacoShop]

Nice to see you do a video on the new version of launch box. I’m still trying to convince wife that premium version is worth it.

[MarvelousLXVII]

Thank you for doing this. I've been out of the emulation loop for a while and this is so much easier than making config files, etc. Works like a charm.

[GimmeEd]

You guys fly through everything so fast and make it look so easy. I'm still having issues doing this for PS4/Windows games. It's not that simple for those types. I can't get most of my higher end games to work. Even having trouble with the PS3 games sometimes...I guess I'm still too new at this to know the tricks of the trade.

[Mattyuk]

This is truly a great update of Launchbox. It's so much easier to add ROMs for computer games now, even my C64 titles are easy to set up with RetroArch integration.

[kevinpagano]

Really awesome, configuring RetroArch has always been a pain point for me

[bobbypropes]

I have a question about LaunchBox/RetroArch and since you have so many informative videos about it, I thought I'd ask you: What is the best way to handle using multiple, physically different controllers for each emulator? For example, I have a USB NES controller that I want to use to play NES games and a Genesis controller to play Sega. When I map the controls for these, the Auto-config is usually way off. When I finally get things how I like them (editing actual auto-config files and making sure it's recognizing right device), I have to change them again just to play another console because the mappings are so different on the platform-specific controller I'm going to use for that particular core/emulator. Any suggestions? Eventually I'd like to build my own cabinet and have the arcade controls to use for controlling the front end and then controllers to play consoles on. Is that possible or will I run into same issues I'm describing here?

As someone who's been using emulators since the late 90s, this finally made retroarch approachable to me. I'll give it a try, I've been wishing for a front-end that doesn't take me 2h to figure out how to set up anything at all, lol

[hwe]

I use both LaunchBox and Attract Mode. LaunchBox is perfect for my family room machine, Attract Mode is for my arcade cab.

[animefreddiemercury]

This sounds really good. My goal is to replace all my old games that were stolen in a single emulation machine I can connect to my TV. This is awesome!

[emilysharp]

Thank you SO SO Much!! I'm a noob to this whole ROM emulating myself and even I had ZERO problems thx to all the detailed step by step! This software is an absolute game changer, especially when most hard copy versions of games (Especially GameCube, etc.} can run for hundreds of dollars online and this software is totally FREE to use! Thanks!!! Highly recommended to other noobies like myself.

[DannyRFN]

Finally, a true PC contender against OpenEmu on Mac!

[VictoriaChavezHernandez]

no entendi yo solo queria jugar un juego 😭

[MattStevens]

Okay that finally does it! Been liking Launchbox for some time now. The free version is actually all you need to get up and running but since I like to customize themes, I'll get their LB Bigbox regular license for 30 dollars.
