Big Picture Mode?

[cptjackt]

Hello everyone,

First, I got to say how much of an improvement 5.0 has been. This is a really great emulator.

However, there is one thing that I wish was part of the build, and so I just wanted to throw it out here.

I currently use Steam's Big Picture mode, as I do a lot of couch gaming, and I was able to add Dolphin to my games (by using UACPass to get it to open directly).

However, it kind of kills the experience when Dolphin opens up, is windowed, and I have to move back to my air mouse in order to select a game.

Because of this, I wanted to throw the idea of a Full Screen/Big Picture mode setting for the Game Selection Menu, using whatever is mapped to the GC controller for navigation.

I know I have little room to ask for new features, but I really just wanted to throw this out there and see what everyone thought.


Again, Thank you all for your work in developing this truly excellent emulator.


EDIT: I found a very similar thread in Development Discussion. Sorry for the pointless post. I do not know how to close this, so please feel free to close it for me. Thank you.

i just finished my RetroPC last weekend and got me Launch Box and Big Box:

Big Box is amazing for controlling everything with a controller, but it costs $20. For me the price was totally worth it since i hate to use a keyboard in my living room / TV.
