The Best Emulation Frontend For Windows? - LaunchBox / Big Box

In my opinion, LaunchBox is the best Emulation front end for windows.
Easy to set up and packed with awesome Feature.
In this video, I go over some of my favorite things in the newest releases of LaunchBox and I also show you how to quickly set up your first system.

Best emulation channel on the tube! Love what you do!

[skumbino]

I use it mainly as a launcher for pc games, since i have STEAM, GOG, Uplay, Origin, Twitch.

I had no idea something this simple existed. Excellent video. Anyone doing emulation on Windows should look at this.

The pause screen has to be my favorite new feature, with it, I have no reason to access retroarch at all unless I am tweaking settings

I've never regretted buying the lifetime license but the only problem I have with LB/BB is how slow and sluggish it is if you have a HUGE collection with a TON of artwork and videos on a NORMAL hard drive. However, installing LB/BB and all the videos and artwork to an SSD instead, gives a MAJOR speed boost to performance so thats recommended. I have also bought a yearly license for mgalaxy and gameex just to try them out and I love where mgalaxy is going with its current and future features. If only they would release more updates more often though. Gameex is ok but combining Kodi with BB plugin is a better option.

With Hyperspin and other front ends you can do basically the same and maybe even more... but Launchbox/BigBox is easy to use, has integrated download of databases, images, etc... yes, you can use steam to launch your games, but for an arcade setup, or retro look, this is the best by far! Hope you make a Jukebox or Rockola tutorial that i've been waiting for

[TrexCharlieX]

With LaunchBox it will turn up PC into a game console that you'll love. I been using it for bout 5 years and it's my go to

[IRWPD]

Every time is see a video on LaunchBox. The more I want a arcade cabinet.

[randyiron]

Thanks! I knew nothing about emulated rom files until I bought the atgames arcade. I have been able to figure out how to add roms to this. I’m quickly realizing I want a pc based arcade. With what I already learned in the last week and this video I feel very comfortable not only building my own but setting everything up with the software! This video pulled it all together for me. You sir earned a sub from me. I can’t wait to check your other videos. I can tell you’re a step above the rest!

Once I finish my HTPC I'm putting BigBox on there immideately. Couch gaming will be so great on this thing.

[kenk]

I agree! I’ve messed with many of the front end programs, and LaunchBox is the easiest IMO. Slowly saving funds to buy the premium version. I know they do a give away once in a while, but have been unlucky so far😁

[Abel-Alvarez]

Thank you so much man I really find this useful, it's amazing and worth getting Big box.

[currantebob]

Premium version has been one of my BEST money spent! It is an awesome software and It is incredible in a bartop or arcade machine. Could you make a tutorial for pinball fx2 tables? Regards from Spain 😁

[jong]

I am really glad that you posted this video because i was starting to wonder if you still used BigBox. I have been using the free version, and it works nicer than all of the other ones I have tried. I think it is about time I stepped up to the premium version.

[MrWarwounds]

I've been using launch box and big box for 4 years never been disappointed. You can't go wrong with it.

[noface]

Prime these tutorial videos are as great as they are helpful.
Here's an idea for a future tutorial, and one that I think would be very helpful.
There's plenty of tutorial videos out there that help you get started, however there is nothing to help iron out the wrinkles once you're done.
Common issues such as similar game titles with duplicate videos, missing wheel art for certain consoles and games, etc.


Keep up the good work!

[colwyn]

Thanks to your videos I use LB since 1 year, I paied forever and it's the best frontend. Thank you ;)

[danielpatrick]

I've used launchbox and big box for like 2 years. Bought the forever license and I'm glad I did. My collection looks totally dope. I love the themes you can change it up with. I'm not into getting every game ever made. I just grab the best games for ever system that I actually want to play. Scrolling through big box with all my games in coverflow with the emumovies looks incredible. It has gotten a lot smoother scrolling since the beginning. Here's two things I personally swear by in Big box: 1use random game video as platform video. 2 use a theme with a video background and change the background vid to whatever you want. As long as it's named the same as it is in the theme folder it'll work. It's an easy and fun customization.

[BigJuffer]

Launchbox really is great. Been using it myself for a while, never really had the need to upgrade to big box.

[Mario-tmuv]

I love Big Box and how easy it is to customize virtually every aspect of the front end. As a result the variety has kept boredom at bay.
