LaunchBox v3.0

LaunchBox v3.0 is released. LaunchBox is a relatively easy to set up frontend for DOSBox. It has plenty of options and is very pleasing to the eyes.


New features for the actual app include an Options dialog with some quick debugging options for games, new Version and Game Manual fields, and even further optimizations that yet again significantly speed up the application.

LaunchBox v3.0 Changelog:

- 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
