cleverest Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I'm 39 years old....but 10 when it comes to gaming fun and memories :-) I'm so happy to be here! Emulation has always been a huge part of my computer experience; as I started out with it when the first NES emulators were coming out, very broken implementations; but alive and well with the spirit of hope and excitement. Fast-forward (to now), and my mind is blown that so many systems now enjoy incredible emulation....recently discovered how far PS2 emulation has come and it blows my mind, because I used to struggle to get SNES games to even PLAY or genesis games to have any audio! ...One thing however I've always been lazy (and lame) with, is front-ends, interfaces, etc...My goals here are to A.) contribute how I can and B.) get a front-end interface up that combines as many emulators as I can + STEAM, playable and awesome. Also I have the complete Exodos and his 300+ GB Windows 3.1 release, forget the name) game packages...I realize nothing interfaces ALL of these others WITH those, but it would be awesome to get something front-end together for everything else at least. I have a ton of CONTENT, arcade, console and computer wise...stuff I've been collecting and updating my collection since it all started, probably in 94-96, should I try to figure out how EmuMovies Sync works and start there? Is there a walk-through / step-by-step tutorial available that I missed to take a large collection and transform it into an organized playable masterpiece? Thanks everyone, it's nice to be here! I will be contributing as much as I can in the coming days/weeks/eons... - Brett, aka "cleverest" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottad Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I use LaunchBox as my front-end its incredibly user friendly . Simply Austin made a good review and set up guide but its a little outdated now. LaunchBox has come a long way since this video and has many new features. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Thank you Scott, I'll check it out and see what I can do with it :-) Appreciate any other help of course too, from anyone. - Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odricar Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I second a mix of launchbox with retroarch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabil Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Nice to see someone so enthusiastic. When I found Hyperspin and saw what it could do for the first time, I was blown away. Launchbox is also very good, especially if you like frequent updates. The one constant that you should use no matter what your front end is though , is rocketlauncher. There really is no other program that can tie everything together so nicely. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Great! Thanks everyone! First, I will probably try Hyperspin with Rocketlauncher ....in the process of setting it up now and learning its quirks...seems to be the ideal platform if I had an actual arcade unit with control sticks, etc..but still seems fun on an actual PC too... I may try Launchbox / RetroArch next though (wanting to install it and a limited ROM set on a Raspberry PI 3 soon so that will probably help to know...) but I'll see which one I really like after I get Hyperspin configured...Hyperspin definitely has the WOW factor when it comes to selecting your system and game (previewing it) in the bag.... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 So I've gone the RocketLaunch / Hyperspin route....starting to figure it out...what a beast...when things start to work, can't help but crack a smile. IS anyone aware of an option / addon that allows you to launch and play the actual game WITHIN the preview graphics window that the video snaps play in? I can see very limited use for that, but for the portable systems where graphics/art don't block the screen for example, it sort of makes sense...would be fun to try... Thanks. - Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
