Launching a game from pegasus with launchbox as a passthrough #10
Description
So, I have roughly just over 100 systems and after fighting with bigbox for several months that I've concluded that it just can't keep up with my demands in a front end and that has prompted me to look elsewhere; which is when I found pegasus. Launchbox still works decently well as a backend system and this exporter does nicely at merging the two on a metadata bases.
What seems to be missing are the startup screens though.
What I am trying to achieve is to launch a game in pegasus and get the same experience as if I were using big box when a game is selected...the loading screen displays for a few seconds and then the emulator is loaded ....conversely when I exit a game, the game over screen displays and back to the front end platform again (which would be pegasus in this case).
Try as I might, I cannot seem to get this to work, even by manually altering the exported metadata file to send a command to launchbox to display the startup and shutdown screens prior to launching a game...it's always just strait into the emulator and I am wanting more smoother transitions between the front end and the emulator.
I was hoping that you might have some magic that could be put into the export metadata plugin that would achieve this? I believe the launch: command per game would have to be included in the metadata output, but I can't even seem to get a working command to do what i want so I am deferring to someone smarter than me who might have the answer.
Note: This is more of a 'feature request' than an issue.
