LaunchBox est un joli frontend pour Dosbox avec de multiples options. Il peut rechercher dans la database TheGamesDB.net pour les metadata & les box-arts. Il peut exporter les fichiers image, dispose d’une meilleure compatibilité avec dropbox, et dispose de la mise à jour automatique.
Les changements pour cette versions sont les suivants :
– New Feature: Game details are now available directly in the games list! Use the new icons popup to show them (click the « i » icon). Or, auto-show them on hover or select under the View menu.
– New Feature: The box art images can now be swapped between front and back with the new icons popup
– New Feature: You can now view the full size front or back box art also using the new icons popup
– New Feature: Additional applications now support emulation (can be used mainly for games with multiple discs)
– New Feature: Automatic backups of the LaunchBox.xml file are now kept; see the Options dialog for details
– New Feature: TheGamesDB.net overview is now downloaded into the Notes field (if empty) when searching
– New Feature: Under the Tools menu is a new option to « Update Notes from TheGamesDB.net ». This will go through and batch download the notes (overview) for all of your games, which is nice when pulling up the details view.
– New Feature: A new built-in image viewer is used instead of opening the default Windows image viewer (mainly for controller support)
– Improvement: The ROM Import feature now has a file filter option to only import files with a particular file extension
– Improvement: The list of platforms used to search TheGamesDB.net has been updated to add the newest platforms from the site; also, GameCube has been added as it was somehow left off the original list. This will help to significantly improve the search results for GameCube and the other added platforms.
– Improvement: Game music no longer stops when manually started and switching between games or deactivating LaunchBox
– Fixed: The welcome dialog can now be closed with game controllers just like all other dialogs
– Fixed: Game controllers should now work more portably between machines (without having to go to the Options dialog and select the controller when switching to a different machine)
– Fixed: The SteamApps folder check was case sensitive and wasn’t working properly on systems that didn’t match up
– Fixed: When updating box art and the values of the game were changed to filter the game out of view, the game’s box art cache wasn’t being updated
