Yes, there are great themes out there and there are terrible ones. While controller automation and display were very good, I still had problems of my own. And no, you don’t have to get the lifetime license there’s other options to choose from. The license I got was the lifetime one, which is $50. But like LB, BB also has its own set of problems. If you don’t really care about these problems, then LaunchBox may just be for you.Īnyways, this convinced me to buy and try out BigBox, which is a premium addon for LB and display wise, it looks pretty fucking amazing with all the different themes to choose from. TOO LONG, DIDN’T READ #1: Read 1, 2 and 3 above. (edit: this is obvious, but might as well say it. Remember, you’re only controlling the mouse and for me to control a cursor on a big TV in general is just an eyesore after a mere few minutes. So while I didn’t have to waste time trying to look for my games, I STILL had to waste time exiting out of certain games which was still a problem for me.īeing able to use your controller in LB is fun, but it’s kind of a pain. You can’t enable controller automation outside of Launchbox. The problem is, you don’t really get that much out of the FREE version: So you could imagine how much time was saved after using Launchbox. So before LB, I would always have to get up and go to my laptop every single time I wanted to either:Ī) load up an emulator, or anything for that matterĬ) when an emulator decides it would be a good idea to just start doing stupid shit causing me to force quit or use Task Manager I play my games hooking up my laptop to my TV with HDMI and use my wireless controller. Some features that it has includes gamepad controls, video playback, and it even plays music whenever a game is selected. Launchbox is simply a front-end to launch your games and it keeps them organized. And it’s all according to how YOU take it.
