So happy for all your success Jason. Have been a supporter from day one and used to watch your programing streams from the start. Happy to be a lifetime supporter, thanks for all you and your team have done!!
Thank you Brian. Thanks for sticking with us all this time. :)
Long time LB/BB user here - you deserve the success you've had. Continue to be blessed, my dude.
Thank you so much, Nathan. Onwards! :)
Hey jason - I am new to launchbox and the game emulation community as of this year. It has been a fun hobby largely due to the Launchbox program. I started helping out with the launchbox database and felt compelled to speak out about the Bible verses on each page. It was really nice to see. thanks for being outspoken about your faith - it serves as a good reminder for me to do the same. Take care.
Hi Lee, welcome to the scene, and thanks for helping out on the database. That is all wonderful to hear. This project would not exist without the Lord, that is for sure. I feel like my life is just one big blessing from the Lord. :)
Firstly, thank you for what you have created Jason. Because of LaunchBox more & more people started to get interested in the Emulation community as a whole. I have worked and still working with many frontends and nothing come close to LaunchBox/BigBox in my opinion. Secondly, very cool Gaming Room mate. I love the size of the room & they way it is organized. Great collection. Beautiful arcade although personally I prefer the Taito Vewlix (or Chewlixs) which I installed LaunchBox on many of them with the dynamic banner. BigBox have this amazing feature which some times people forget about (extend screen feature). Lastly, thank you to all LaunchBox team and cant wait to see the next update.
Fantastic video. I just recently paid for bigbox and now I'm happy that my money is supporting a good guy and giving me great software to make my arcade look great and allow me to play multiple platforms. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the new updates in the new year.
Thank you Top Gun! We will definitely keep the improvements coming. :)
Just bought today after poking at "the other option"... what a nightmare THAT software is as a 30+ year IT guy.... started watching ETAs videos on launch and big box, and went ahead and took the plunge. Will upgrade to the lifetime between now and the next year. I've been running raspberry pi machines for a while and after getting a steam deck, I'd like to step up my game. I built all of my cabs myself as a hobbyist wood worker. This is next level stuff, just need to cobble together another newer hardware PC to run it. Great work you've done! It's how it should be!!!! Thanks and keep up the great work!!!!
A great watch Jason and everything you have is well deserved. Your ideas, knowledge and passion has brought the wonder that is retro gaming to 10s of thousands if not more that may never have got into the scene. Long may your success continue.
Thank you Nick! So much appreciated.
Great to see you again Jason, after all this Time.
Thanks Andrew. It's been quite a trip. :)
Jason looking old testament with that beard 😆
Lol...it's amazing what not wanting to shave will do... ;)
Thank you for sharing and thank you for creating launchbox/big box! I couldn't imagine my arcade cab without it.
Thank you Ben! Much appreciated.
Good to see you again! The new room setup looks nice! And the arcade cabinet turned out awesome!
Good to see you too, Obsidian. Thank you very much. :)
Glad to see you on camera and doing some videos! Thanks for the amazing software, I tell everyone I can about it, it's the best front end out there by far! Take care, and may God bless you and your family!
Thank you so much Ryan! And thank you for all the support. God bless!
It’s really cool to meet and see the people behind the product. Great job on everything and congratulations on the success!
Thank you Holistik!
Nice cab, love the artwork! Cool to see behind the scenes too. That room is nice...big & layed out well...I always found I am more productive with more room & organized.
Thank you Piper. Yeah, me too. I used to cram most of that stuff in a much smaller office, and yeah, it's a lot harder to keep it clean and be productive.
Nice cabinet! I built a vewlix clone with a 25” ultra widescrren monitor as virtual marque and I love how big box manages it. Thanks a lot for your great work
Great to hear. Thank you Antided. :)
Thanks for the video !!! Very nice to see the launchbox office !!!! Thank you all you guys for this great software .. this make our arcades look amazing !!!
I’ve been using launchbox for around 3 years now… BIG THANKS
Thank you Wonderz! So great to hear. :)
Good to see you Jason 👍
I've been using Launchbox and Bigbox for years now on my machines, THE best front end hands down.
Much love from New Zealand.
Thank you smo, great to hear. :)
Many blessings to you,your family, and your work team. That room is really awesome! Congratulations!
Thank you Jose! Blessing to you and your family as well! :)
Now I realize why the software it's called Big Box. Great software. I been loving it since version 7!
Thank you John! Yup, that's why. :)
Absolutely love Launchbox. Thank you for all the work you do to make my hobby easier to setup and manage
Thank you very much Donnie. Great to hear.
Really cool to see the face behind Launchbox. Always cool to see level headed people running the show.
Thank you Billy. I don't know how level-headed I am, but I appreciate it. ;)
I feel very blessed with you guys and LB BB, still loving it everyday for years now, awesome HQ man!
Thank you Lust. We feel very blessed to have you in this community, especially with all of your amazing contributions! :)
Awww thanks bro likewise ;)
Woah this is so cool to see! Great cabinet and that room is giant dude. Thats so fun! Live it up. Id love to see more some more videos with you and the team
Thank you Dan! Hopefully we can.
Arcade build looking slick! I take my hat off to you and thanks to you I was able to build my arcade. Hobby and my passion grew because of you I have to thank you!
"The whole bit". I like what you did there.
Great seeing you in a video again, Jason. Looks like a room full of fun. The best way to justify buying a new (expensive) gaming PC is that the the old one will give the kids an upgrade. 😅
Lol. Always. ;)
Rachidloft! His artwork is absolutely amazing. I used a lot of his stuff to make some playlist banners for the banner box theme. Fantastic stuff.
Indeed! He's an incredible artist.
Cool looking game room. Love the Fractal PC cases.
Thank you Georald. Yeah, I really like those Fractal cases.
What a great room Jason. I just moved to a new house and built a theater / game room. I should do a tour when its more finished out. Would be great to see what other people of setup as well.
Thanks for the movie!
I designed that joystick on the marquee :P Glad to see it is still getting used.
Thank you for that! :)
@@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC Haha no prob. :)
Hey dude! We miss seeing you!
Thank you morsteen. I may step out into the limelight from time to time.
Killer awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing and the art work info!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😃😃😃😃😃
Thank you Metroid!
Fantastic machine! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Mark! :)
@@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC I'm still using my 3/4 scale arcade machine from Rec Room Masters that I got years ago. I've been using Big Box since I built it, and the best front end just keeps getting better.
I’ve always had wonderful experiences with Ultimarc. Andy is fantastic.
Great tour! Your room is well thought out. It's great to see that you are into Sim Racing. I would love a dedicated launcher for arcade racing games. Congratulations on your continued success. I love your product.
Thank you James. Big Box should work pretty well as a dedicated launcher for racing games. We are using the racing cab to make it better for those kinds of setups.
Here I am, In Wiltshire, England, laughing at the fact that I have the exact same logitech speakers as you! They're not that bad really are they!
Not bad at all! A lot better than a sound bar in my opinion.
Great tour Jason, its so humbling when you see the creator of the software you love having very similar interests and ideas for how you want your tech to work compared to your own setup. Love the 'Cade, you've got me thinking about an active marquee now for mine :S One thing I'd like to just put in your head although looking how you are, I'm pretty sure it's probably already floated around up there. You must use or at least be familiar with Plex...I don't know exactly how it would look, but I would love to one day see this sort of client/server setup for launchbox. I appreciate with emulators that would be difficult but mainly, just the file serving aspects and media. You have one server setup for all your games on all platforms then each client can select the platforms/playlists they want on setup, launchbox then actively serves up that content so no duplicating of roms is required and media downloads in the background over lan rather than redownloading from the net. All emulators just install locally. Anyway this is most definitely the wrong forum for this, but this video just got me thinking and when you mentioned the dos part, it just hit that you like the interconnectivity of it all just as much as I do, have a great day and well done/thanks etc for the software, been using it for about 5 years I think now (if its that old lol) and nothing comes close to this day.
Rock on! Love the software.
You really are blessed buddy ❤
Best $50 I ever spent was Bigbox license from year 1. This cab is ultra slick
Nice setup
Thank you Corey. :)
The cabinet turned out fantastic Jason! I admit I wasn't that impressed when you said on the forum you were using a pixelcade marquee. The last time I looked they were only selling those LED marquees. Now that the have have LCD marquees, I might have to upgrade my old cabinet with one. I also dig your M-Audio monitor speakers on one of your PC setups (@ 22:50) . I have a pair of the M-Audio AV-40s in one of my Jukeboxes and they are loud! Congrats on all your success.
Thank you Jay! Yeah, I didn't really like those LED ones either. Those M-Audio speakers are indeed great speakers.
Awesome!!
5 years years, huh? Have you not shaved your beard in that time frame either? I barely recognized you. Lol. But seriously, thanks for the video and for everything that you and your team do. I bought a lifetime license years ago and have been slowly trying to learn everything that Launchbox can do to build my ultimate setup. Keep up the great work and I hope to see you in more videos.
Hey Jason, Love the build and the room setup. I have been wanting to redo my 1st one that I built back in 2015 to something like this and this gives me a good starting point. You from Colorado looking at that hat? Thanks for putting out such great software been on board since you very first release of LB.
Nice video, always interesting to see the people behind the product! I can recommend the Servostick if you end up changing the 4/8 way solution - they're just Sanwa JLW sticks with a servo, so they have that really familiar feel to them. Are they the goldleaf buttons? I used to have those but ended up changing them out for the Ultralux buttons, just preffered that microswitch feel, but the goldleafs are great too
Interesting layout - I always feel like they look busy, but in practice it must functionally be pretty amazing, it's not like you're gonna accidentally pretty the wrong button or anything. The Lit buttons makes the decals look cool, they almost look digital in the video
Good to hear on the ServoStick. I've ordered a couple already so hopefully they'll be much better than the Mag-Stik Plus ones. Yes, they're all GoldLeaf buttons. Yeah, I've felt them both and I've decided I'm good with the GoldLeafs, though they did take a little getting used to. Thanks much. :)
@@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC Nice, sounds like you have your ideal setup! For me I took the springs out the Ultralux plungers and that was perfect for me, had the tactility of the microswitch but the light touch of something like a sanwa button (I think the Ultralux buttons are a pretty heavy press by default) Enjoy the machine!
@@draculaman Wow, that's pretty cool. Definitely never thought of that. I bet that is a nice feeling button.
Flashing a Linux build of Launchbox/Big Box to a hard drive would be Epic. It is hard to keep roms from another hard drive connected to Batocera. This is where Launch box/ Big box shines. Just remember to turn off secure boot in the bios or usb hard drives will not boot linux builds for some reason.
Yeah, that is definitely a dream of mine/ours as well. We will get there eventually, somehow. ;)
@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC Can I ask what system you are using for your gaming shelves? Is it omniwall? Or wallcontrol? Just curious. Love the setup. Thanks. Also a launch box/big box Subscriber. 😎
Very cool!!! Please Keep up the great work!! You and your team do amazing work.
Maybe team up with Batocera to see how to port Launch box/Big box to linux.
RetroBat is basically Batocera on windows and vice Versa.
I’m a huge fan of launch box/big box. The only thing I can think of to improve it would be a way to check and rename roms against a database so we can get perfect sets of video snaps and box art.
All of the Disney games on the Wii always have a hard time downloading box art and video snaps.
We're working on porting it, but there are a lot of things that are lacking on Linux, so it will unfortunately be a while.
@@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC it would be awesome if the port is an all in one solution with built in emulators that can either be manually or automatically updated. All of your work is greatly appreciated by the retro community!!
I used Ultimarc Magsticks on my cabinet for a few years but ended up replacing them with UItimarc Ultrastik which automatically changes modes between 8 way and 4 way via software.
how are you liking them?
@@UnbrokenSoftwareLLC Love them. Ledblinky automatically configures the joystick when you load a game.
what is that keyboard mouse tray setup on the entertainment system?
which theme is running in the arcade screen?
Hi Jason, I have an problem with Launchbox. I have alot of games and everytime I start Launchbox, it completly fills up the RAM and shuts down. Is there any way to fix this issue without uninstalling Lauchbox? Thank you very much for showing us your amazing gameroom!
Sorry to hear. Your best bet is to make a post over in the troubleshooting section of the community forums. CZcams is not really a place where troubleshooting can take place.
Hi Jason

4K screen is just stupid overkill for this.
If ETA prime didn't upload it, I don't fuckin want it
*****More Attract Mode Options for BigBox? For persons with Cabs! Thanks for everything, looks pretty awesome - have a nice day.
