How To Set Up LaunchBox On Android - Retro Games On The Go!



LaunchBox for Android is now officially available on the Goole Play Store for Android phones. Android tablets and TVs like the Nvidia Shield. In this video, I show you how to configure LaunchBox on Android quite easily.
This requires LaunchBox for PC to export games, so if you don't have this configuration, follow this guide: https://youtu.be/wNSP6VJpqM0

Android version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unbrokensoftware.launchbox&hl=en_US

  3. They really need to update this, it's so backwards. Why can't I do it without a PC?

  4. sorry for the noob question but how do i select retroarch as my default emulator?

  5. I don't see why I would pay $5 for this when retroarch is so good already.
    Just bought it, I can see now why, retroarch had issues recognizing some of my games, while LB had no trouble at all.

  8. I would rather go with Dig as it features themes install with videos and audio background etc.. Looks more like Launchbox Bigbox pc version than the actual launchbox official Android version.

  10. Nice video, was considering picking up a S6 tab for emulation and this video has convinced me. Looks like a lot of fun playing the old classic arcade games.

  11. What site do you use to get roms, since you can’t just link the roms? Is your tablet the Tab S6?

  12. Just get Dig save you from doing all this on play store

    ReplyDelete
  13. Great video. Is there a store where you can purchase these old games?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hi there, is it somehow possible to use a ps4 controller? I got an s6 as well, controller pairs, but does absolutely nothing... any help is highly appreciated :)

  16. the "export from windows" is bullshit. I'll wait for that to change.

  17. Is it available on amazon fire stick 4k?

  18. Great tutorial! Anyone know if there is a PS2 emulator for android?

  19. Nvidia games Android!!!!! The app stops working

    ReplyDelete
  20. LaunchBox on Android is cool but I don't understand why Jason wrote a "normal" app and not something with hardware acceleration. In the long run, the new app could have replaced BigBox and its anchoring and non-portability from windows. So, like a multi platform wii-flow-like (is that a word) launcher

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hmm, Windows 10 won't recognize my fire hd :(

  22. Hi ETA I'm running an Nvidia Shield TV and wanted to know can I run the games I export on an external hard drive on the Launchbox on the Nvidia Shield TV because I only have the 16 GB version of it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hello ETA, I think that you should also review the Dig frontend. In my opinion it is very easy to setup as it requires almost no configuration.
