emulator frontend thinghy!

hate having a whole bunch of different emulators? Fear not! Pixelbox is easy to use as pie :)

simply unpack the zip somewhere,

 open the rom folder and slap them (legally acquired) roms, in their respective folder. 

rom folder structure

(v beta 0.1)

upon opening PixelBox, you will see a blackscreen with a cute lil text that tells you how to move through systems, each system lists what roms you have put in its folder and lets you play by just clicking the rom :)

BIOS

some Emulators require bios files to work, im not allowed to distribute these files within Pixelbox so you are going to have to acquire these legally by yourself; there is a Bios folder where you can put them.
Most emulators use HLE bios files but some require bios files, as of now only duckstation requires a bios file

there is a ReadMe you can read for better clarity, but i doubt you´ll need it :)

Controls

of course, you may want to navigate around, fear not - Pixelbox uses commands easy as pie (or pi(3.14blablamiaomiao))

use the left and right arrows to navigate through your folders
hover around the games with the mouse to select them, click with your left mouse button to play them. 
you can also scroll up and down with the arrow keys, most people dont need this but maybe you might!
you can now move the mouse using the wasd buttons and also press it with the x button

Versions:

There are different options to download and use PixelBox, either you get the "full" version ( which has every emulator preinstalled) or you get normal Pixelbox + Its emulators dedicated zip.

if you decide for the second option, make sure to follow the ReadMe so that everything works! its pretty easy, just unzip the zips to the emulators folder inside of PixelBox!

IMPORTANT

The Emulators used in this project do not belong to me, I used Freeware and Opensource emulators but of course if you feel like i should remove your Emulator from Pixelbox, you can contact me and i will comply :)
