BigBox: Loading screen when launching ROM
Issue #319
resolved
Some games (especially larger ones) can take several seconds before the emulation window appears. This can leave you with the feeling that nothing happened or that the program became unresponsive after pressing play.
It would be nice if BigBox instead displayed a full screen message letting you know that the game is loading. It doesn't need to have a fancy progress bar or even any elaborate hooks. Just have it display for 20 seconds or so after the user launches a game and then quietly remove it while the emulator is running.

Woohoo! Thanks Jason.

That's perfect! So glad it's there in Bigbox. But can you please add something to regular LB also? It just appears to hang during the long unzip.

Would be really nice if there was a progress indicator on the loading screen.

Great idea, and agreed. I'm thinking just the simple popup window-type thing that shows up for updates.
