You have the perfect voice and speech for tutorials.

[@kingpete8811]

I think he's trying to say that you have a sexy voice

[@faristhewanderer6571]

what a nice compliment!

[@nicholasmethu8012]

Everytime I watch your videos I learn so much and feel like I can finally share my childhood with my kids. Thanks, so much. I have so many ideas of things to do now. Thank you so much (By the way, I'm watching this in 2019! I expect all those updates your speaking of are out. hahaha)

[@RCfromtheNYC]

Great how-to video! Just convinced a few friends to get LaunchBox after showing them this tutorial.

[@dj_ath]

Love the videos thanks for the help. I'm gonna get that 200 intel for a table top arcade build. It's fast enough for all my classic games. I'll use my PC for the rest.

[@stridermt2k]

So I hear of this LaunchBox thing and decide to learn it. I buy the 50 dollar license and proceed to head over to KZbin to start learning. Top of the list...ETA PRIME! (I should have known!) Once again on yet another system ETA Prime is there to show the way. This channel deserves supporting!

[@scole4545]

ETA i can't begin to thank you and appreciate the time you take to explain everything for us beginners. :)

[@hyperborean.]

Thank you so much! It was a great tutorial. Very comprehensive, clear, and to the point. You got yourself a new like and sub. Keep up the great work.

[@MrM3ch]

When it comes to retro and the like your videos are always the best. Massive thank you for all your help and hard work.

[@catorb6607]

You've helped me out a lot with your sbc and emulation videos, thought I'd say thanks.

[@Zadonitz]

Hi ETA PRIME, I just wanted to say that you sold me with this video. I've purchased a launchbox lincense and become an Emumovies supporter. Thanks for this guide!

[@jasontheblind]

Thank you so much for all the help getting this set up, ETA Prime.

[@VelidBiH]

As always, nice simple video. For those interested in getting license for LB, they offer discounts for some holidays. I got mine for 20 bucks (life time license) on black Friday few years back. Well spent 20 bucks, IMHO.

[@Vendaci]

Thank you for this, it has solved issues I have been having for months, brilliant tutorial

[@location_florida]

Your launchbox tutorials have been so helpful getting me up and running. Have you ever thought of putting together a play list with all your launchbox videos. It would make it easier for us beginners. Every time I think I've seen all your launchbox videos, I find another, and although I have only loadedy snes roms so far, I have still learned a lot for your other videos. Like I learned how to go full screen from your neogeo video even though I have not downloaded my neogeo ROMs yet. I thank you, your videos have been a big help in getting me up and going.

[@LuisTheImpalerGaming]

Hi from Puerto Rico, your tutorial is extremely easy. Thanks.

[@nightbirdds]

So I just subscribed and youtube recommended I look at this video. Hot damn, this is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks ETA! I think I'll be going premium with this in the near future.

[@byronsmith6736]

Thank you! I appreciate the clear and to the point instructions. 1000 likes!

[@rocketpenguin2207]

Thank you so much dude! even though this tutorial is a few years old, It helped me so much! This def deserves a place in me "gud tutorials" playlists lol

[@fasteddy1252]

[@waugh44]

This is totally amazing, definitely getting premium in the future!

[@absurddive]

I no longer need so many shortcuts on my desktop. This is epic, thank you VERY much for this tutorial ETA! I was kind of afraid to give launchbox a try since I know nothing about emulation and was kinda pushed back just by looking at it. Thank gamer jesus people like you exist.

[@VincentJNewman]

LaunchBox is awesome just been playing some Sega games I haven't played for over 20 years lol Great video, Thanks!

[@xmisfit666x]

Ok that's it I'm definitely making a media center PC with this, you be sold me on it lmao

[@pyromover6154]

Thank you bro learn every time i watch you

[@antscape]

Prime thanks for this was trying to figure out how to run retro through lauchbox

[@v8flattopgamer157]

I love your Videos, You are quite an asset to the gaming community.

[@bonzillesgames]

Got to say Iv'e only been using Launchbox for a couple of day but i absolutely love it. it makes it a lot easier to chose which game to play when you can see the image and not having to wade through thousands of roms. Also I love the fact that you can add windows games I have a couple of hundred games installed on my PC and many of these have shortcuts on my desktop which I admit looks a mess but with Launchbox this takes away the hassle of trying to find space for more shortcuts.

[@geneobeano]

Thank you many times ETA!

[@Lumina_VT]

Thanks was considering either launchbox or big box but now that I've see ur videos on big box and decided to get big box instead 😀

[@gooseman247]

Could you make all guides on the internet? Really well done, really simple to follow and really, really helpful. Thank you.

[@phgodts]

Thank you! Now I can set the PC for my arcade

[@francismiddleton510]

Great video, clear anf helpful. Thank tou so mje

[@tompho9885]

Awesome video thanks a lot! There's probably more recent ones but this is the first useful one that came up. Only downside is I found a ROM set with 3400 SNES games and the downloading of box art is taking 2min per game loool....

[@hippiexyzzz]

Thanks. Very nice and helpful information.

[@RockyBergen]

Thanks for this!!!

[@FlintG]

I just picked up the 10 dollar license for big box! I love it so far! I am currently setting it up on my usb hard drive so when I finish building my new pc I can transfer it over. :)

[@polarenergy4801]

Thanks for the video, importing NES and Snes as we speak. Can't wait to battle my son in Tetris tonight.

[@gcmproductions3499]

Thanks for the help ,I use launchbox but I never installed retroarch into it though

[@jaz8088]

2 days later and i am still importing rom's, not even half way, man this better be worth it ETA-Prime, LoL

[@deathmetalweedman3572]

dude ........... whoah , this video , ive already played with cemu citra ps2 emulator , now this is bad ass , now i need another pc for the living room

[@gillandro2]

Love your vids dude... very easy to follow... btw its up to 75 for a lifetime license as of 12/18/21

[@MegaDeox]

Thanks for the video! Do you think you can do a video on your favorite cores for every console?

[@HippyHouse]

Soon as the Super Nintendo Box Art started popping up. I said “dope” and went in and bought BigBox. $75 bucks completely worth it. Time to build this server I always wanted too!

[@chrisumali9841]

thanks for the guide

[@djkev1on151]

ETA great video!! Can you do a part 2 to demonstrate how to use big box with a arcade joystick such and a pandora box arcade joystick or any you would recommend? I think the arcade retro world is here to stay!!

[@taotechnique]

Only 50 bucks for lifetime updates!? Thats incredibly reasonable for such an outstanding developed front end. This has got to be the ultimate setup.

[@miguelr2564]

Thanks!

[@ura617]

thank you so much

[@ZeroB4NG]

Are you making an advanced users guide as well? I would really like to understand more of the nitty gritty details that i haven't even thought about before.

[@elchiludo90732]

I'm new to this, went through a lot of videos that were not as straight to the point as your video

[@memzzz8125]

love your voice and your vids (:

[@kylehill3643]

Looks like back to Retroarch for me!

[@xvnon]

this makes life easy. how about a light gun game tutorial? would be good

[@deadlost7217]

TYSM U Are The BEST

[@kadeemjames3264]

this is freakin awsome

[@RaymondMonaco]

I’m gonna build an arcade cab for use with this. Might make a KZbin on it.

[@Retrobution]

Bought the premium licence yesterday! and I went for it because of the ETA tutorials are a great help so i feel that I will get the most out of this by fully understanding it. plus it can only get better with updates. I have hyperspin but was running into issues and just took up too much time in forums and was just too time consuming for me to get it right. So am in the process now of moving all of the hyperspin assets (5TB!) over to launchbox/bigbox. So as it stands i have got as far as porting over megadrive.. but it started downloading new art and videos! so i need to figure out where and how to drag all of my existing videos/art etc to save some bandwidth and redownloading everything again. What is great that with the licence I can have this on my pc. then also in the media centre pc. and then the arcade machine at home, you can just clone the drive and then use it which is great when the kids just need to play some games without me having to grab the keyboard and force quit and all this other stuff that hyperspin kept throwin at me. for someone who loves games but just hasnt got a lot of time to configure all of this, this is perfect for me

[@ericassouline582]

THANKS ! ETA P

[@brikeibur123]

Thank you.

[@alanw6042]

Any thoughts on doing a more current video about this being it's 2 years old and there are newer version of launch box/big box and emulators? Your videos on any topic are some of the very best!!!

[@tonyferrol2967]

Agreed.

[@djtecni]

Hey ETA.. Can u tell me what intro video you were using when you launched big box. It’s really awesome. Thanks for all the great tutorials.

[@snizzol]

Installing in 3 2 1.... this is awesome ETAPRIMA question, can you use this premium account on more pc's or just one?

[@dvdrip.k]

Graaacias!!!!

[@gmee123]

For those coming in 2020, the licenses have increased. The 1 yr version is 30 and forever one is $75

[@sttm1283]

i was all about to use hyperspin when i saw a video of a dude explaining hyperspin vs launchbox. and now im here watching how to install it :D damn it looks a ton easier than hyperspin. where do one get roms?

[@JudahMaccabee_]

I bought a license and when I right click on a game, the 'configure' menu option is greyed out. I wanted to configure each game with different graphics resolutions and graphics filters, like most other emulators offer... Any idea what's going on here?

[@bpmolenaar]

Love your work. Do you have one about n64 on Launchbox?

[@jonboatnationandstuff3301]

I think I have watched all of your videos for Bigbox setup. You have the Xtension Arcade kit. Do you use a software install for the button configuration? I mean can you do a video on mapping the controls that will cover all game platforms?

[@TrekBuilder]

Just first want to say thank you again for offering such detailed tutorials. I am wondering if there would be any reason for you to make an updated tutorial video considering the current version is like 11 now. I'm just about to start with this video, but noticed the version of LaunchBox here is outdated. Not sure if there has been any big changes? Thanks.

[@PescaitoFrito]

Oh im from Venezuela, i want a free license, this API looks so wonderful! Also what a great tutorial ETA PRIME, keep doing videos like this plz And if u can do some for Dream-Cast, Nintendo Game Cube ♥___♥

[@MegaSimonDK]

Helle ETA Thanks for great videos and so nice tips! How can I use my Ipac Ultimate I/O with BigBox. I’ve made a nice 2 player arcade machine and can’t figure out how to use Ipac to control this system ? Best regards Simon

[@ChrisKadaver]

When using a "core" in retroarch such as the snes9x... Will I be able to change settings for that core so it matches all the settings in the standalone snes9x emulator such as graphical filters and so on?

[@squallsoft]

Yes

[@6adge]

Hey @eta thanks for this video; I got all the way through and have Launchbox setup and Retroarch within it. It looks great! But, I did hit one snag. I have 2 x Logitech f710 controllers and for the life of me, I can't get them to be identified and of course configure. They are wireless. Have you or anyone else in this thread) come across this before? thank again for the videos!

[@cesargzzg]

I'd like your intro video how can I get it?, BTW after trying emustation, hyperspin and cant remember the other I decided to go Launchbox you made it so easy thanks for the tut

[@xCrims21x]

figured it out, simple mistake on my end but when setting up the roms, make sure the option to extract games upon loading is unchecked, because left on will cause the issue

[@lm4278]

You should make a fully updated version of this tutorial. Thanks though.

[@playab0yyy]

Anyone figure out the intro video? Can't find it in the Launchbox forums. :-(

[@TylerWitucki]

Launchbox is over-priced at $75 and I've spent too much time in the forums solving issues with it. I highly recommend Playnite frontend instead! It's modern, open source, and has a great community. I'm glade to find an a better alternative to Launchbox and Hyperspin.

[@LOWKEYOfficial1]

does it fully work when offline ? or is the artwork etc all reliaint on being online. great tutorial !!

[@thewanderingalbatross1061]

Artwork is all downloaded with rom import.

[@fgrillo29]

Hey! Which intro video are you using for Big Box in this video? Didn't see that one on the forum when I checked. Thanks!

[@zoir3129]

How come when I moved my n64 Games it made the box art for all games but didn’t move all games
