video previews YouTube & Arcade Video Snap Downloader
By Ize
I have created my own YouTube & Arcade Snap / Videopreview downloader.
It's not super pretty but works pretty well.
Arcade is perfect because i use progettosnaps direct download, consoles are OK'ish... i currently try to limit the search results to one provider to eliminate false positives.
So if that channel doesn't have the video for your game, you might get something strange... BUT I ADDED A SKIP BUTTON!
If you know other youtube channels than arcade forever feel free to leave a comment and i'll take a look at it
Installation:
Unzip the file and put the folder in your Launchbox/Plugins/ dir.
Usage :
Rightclick a game or games and choose get snaps,
click yes for consoles etc., click no for arcade / mame.
Hit Download, wait, done.
Btw. if you're wondering why there is an .exe file... well i'll probably make it standalone too to scan the whole library and im lazy so i didn't want to start two projects
I have uploaded a video of it in action here:

Neko Project II HDD Runner
By Fayne Aldan
Anyone who has tried to use LaunchBox with NEC PC-9801 would know that Neko Project II, the most well known PC-98 emulator, does not accept HDI (Hard Drive Image) files via command prompt, which is what LaunchBox has to do to provide emulators with ROMs. This is especially a problem as all 5 of the first Touhou games, the most well known games on the system, use the HDI file format.
Here, I have created a solution. The zip download contains two files: runner.exe and runner.ahk
To run the program, you need to extract runner.exe into the same folder as Neko Project II, and set the emulator application path in LaunchBox to runner.exe
All this program does is it receives the ROM location from LaunchBox and stores it in Neko Project II's configuration file if the ROM is HDI format then runs Project Neko II. If the file is not HDI, Project Neko II is simply run with the ROM location.
If you want to see the source code for the program, open runner.ahk in Notepad. The program is written using AutoHotkey.

CopyMAMEExtras - Copy only Launchbox filtered Roms, Parents & Extras
This utility will take the full sets of MAME Extras (snaps, titles etc) & ROMS and copy only the ones that exist in your Launch Box database (Arcade.xml) to the folders you've specified. It essentially allows you to keep your complete MAME sets elsewhere and create a smaller subset for use with Launchbox.
LaunchBox
Although using the Copy ROMS option in the Launchbox importer will physically copy the ROMS based on the filters you've selected it won't currently copy the required parent ROMS too, so some games won't run. It also can't bring over the "official" MAME Extras into Launchbox. CopyMAMEExtras has options to handle both of these.
Lightspeed
Currently Lightspeed does not provide the option to copy only the files needed for the filtered ROM set to a new location. CopyMAMEExtras will also handle this.
To Use for Extras
Browse to Arcade.xml
Browse to the sources for the Extras you want to transfer.
Browse to the target location which will usually be your Launchbox Images and Videos folders for your Arcade Platform.
Tick the types you want to transfer e.g Snaps and Titles.
Tick TEST MODE if you want to just test a transfer without copying.
Click Copy
To Transfer ROMS or required parent ROMS
Browse to the source of your MAME ROMS.
Browse to the target for your MAME ROMS which will be your chosen LaunchBox location for the ROMS.
Browse to the "listxml" MAME xml file (This can be extracted from MAME64.exe but I've included one for .181 in the download)
Tick TEST MODE if you want to just test a transfer without copying.
Click either Copy ROMS or Copy Only Parents
"Copy ROMS" will copy ALL the ROMS listed in Arcade.xml including the required parents.
"Copy Parent ROMS" will only copy the required parent ROMS.
NOTES!!
This was knocked up very quick so forgive any bugs. It works fine for me and there are no delete or move functions in the code so it shouldn't be a problem, but it's best I put the caveat in place.
If you use this with Lightspeed AND use the "Copy ROMS" option of CopyMAMEExtras, you will need to edit the Arcade.xml afterwards and do a find|replace to change to the new folder location.
It's not multi-threaded yet so it will appear unresponsive whilst it works (Sorry!) When it's finished, a log will appear in the large box.

MAME to Demul Rom Copier (MAME .184 & demul07a_180816)
By SentaiBrad
So Derek (@DOS76), originally posted these scripts, and I saw that they were not copying over all of the files for these systems, and that there were now some errors thrown in. So I updated all of the scripts to include name changes, newly added games, and now the Naomi GD and Naomi GD2 scripts also copy over CHD files.
Required Files:
1. These scripts obviously.
2. MAME .184b and demul07a_180816
2. A MAME .184 split or non-merged rom set. Searching mame dome of pleasure helps. (Non-merged is suggested for the best compatibility, even though it's much larger).
3. A MAME .184 CHD pack. This is optional, but the Naomi GD and Naomi GD2 games will either not run correctly or at all. The CHD pack only comes as "merged".
How to Use:
1.Download the zip
2. Extract the contents of the zip to a folder (like your Demul folder).
3. Move the scripts (.bat) files to your MAME .184 roms folder.
4. Run each of the scripts 1 by 1, and when the script is done it will ask you to press a button to close the Windows Command Prompt.
5. It will create new folders, sorted to the top of your current view; These folders begin with _ so they move to the top.
6. Move those folders to a location of your choosing so that you can import them in to LaunchBox.
6.5 Make sure to set the "Scrape As" option for these platforms all to Arcade (Will automatically pop up during import when you type in a non-default System name) and check the box "Force using MAME Metadata" (That box is on the final screen with the rest of those check boxes). Remember, these are all Arcade MAME Games, so all of their metadata will be in there.
7. Make sure to also tell Demul where your MAME roms are located for parent and dependency reasons. You can add this in the Plugins and Bioses options menu in Deuml, pictured below.
The Systems this script will copy games for:
Naomi
NaomiGD
Naomi 2
Naomi 2 GD
Sammy Atomiswave
Hikaru
Gaelco
This script uses 2 commands, copy and xcopy, and I can only promise that it will work on Operating Systems that LaunchBox supports (Windows 7, Windows 8 / 8.1 and Windows 10 currently).
If you have any questions, leave a comment on the download page or the thread. I will also post Derek's original script for the version of MAME he edited them for. To clarify, his scripts work on a older version of MAME and Demul.

Pre-configured SumatraPDF + JoyToKey to view PDF's with a controller in LaunchBox
By teeedubb
This is a pre-configured SumatraPDF and JoyToKey to use for viewing PDF manuals in LaunchBox with a controller. It was setup with a DS3 using ScpTools Reloaded so it should also be compatible with a Xbox 360 controller. I have not tested it with any other controllers.
The zip file contains SumatraPDF, JoyToKey and a AHK script that will launch JoyToKey in a hidden state, then SumatraPDF and when SumatraPDF is closed it will kill JoyToKey. For it to display PDF's in LaunchBox you need to configure the Windows default PDF viewer as 'SumatraPDF-JoyToKey.exe'. You can update either SumatraPDF or JoyToKey by placing the contents of the portable installs in the root directory.
Script usage outside of LB is: "c:\path\to\SumatraPDF-JoyToKey.exe" "c:\path\to\pdf\file.pdf"
Controls:
D-Pad/Left analog stick: Up Down Left Right
Right analog stick Up+Down/L+R triggers: Zoom in/out
L+R bumpers: Go to First/Last page
Cross (Green A on 360): Next page
Square (Blue X on 360): Rotate image 90'
Triangle (Yellow Y on 360): Cycle through zoom/fit to screen modes (reset zoom)
Circle (Red B on 360): Exit SumatraPDF

All Killer - Some Filler list for Lightgun Games
By JaysArcade
This is an All Killer - No Filler style bat file for lightgun games. Simply place the bat file in you roms folder and double click to run. It will automatically create a lightgun folder and copy the lightgun roms to that folder. List was created by me Jay Thompson, and is probably missing some good games (Terminator 2 is missing for example) but it will get you started. Let me know if there are any games that obviously belong in here that I missed. The original lists exclude Lightgun Games and Trackball Games as part of the no filler mantra. A lot of folks have lightguns on their cabinet so I felt it in the best interest of the community to go ahead and make this.
Interested in more All Killer-No Fillers lists? Check out this thread at byoac - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=149708.0 .
And this one by @lordmonkushttps://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/282-no-filler-mame-rom-copy-182/ .

No Filler Mame Rom Copy 182
By Lordmonkus
These bat files will copy all the roms and bios files from a split rom set as of Mame v.182 rom set. Using this on a rom set not 182 you may have missing roms so use with care if your set is different.
This is an updated version of the older No Filler batch file for romset 170 I uploaded here:
Thanks to @ckpfor taking the time to update this batch file for the newer set.
In the download zip file you will find 2 files, one .txt and one .bat file. The .txt file is just there so you can look inside and see what is being done by the .bat file.
To use this simply copy the _NoFiller.bat file to the folder containing your 182 rom set and run it like any other program. It will create a folder called _NoFiller and copy all the roms from your rom collection into the _NoFiller folder. From there you can then move that folder out to a location of your choosing for storage and then import those roms into Launchbox and you will have a nicer streamlined set of games.

All Killer No Filler Mame Rom Copy
By Lordmonkus
These bat files will copy all the roms and bios files from a split rom set as of Mame v.170 rom set. Using this on a rom set not 170 you may have missing roms so use with care if your set is different.
First off I did not create this at all, I am merely packaging this into one file for easy download and distribution. I got these files from http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,149708.msg1563036.html#msg1563036 and they were created by the user BadMouth and he deserves all the credit for these files and the work put into them.
In this package you will find bat files and txt files of the same name, these are exactly the same files but with different extentions. Open the txt files if you wish to view exactly what the bat files are going to do.
To use these files simply copy the bat files into your Mame rom folder and run each bat file. Each bat file will then create a folder with a name matching the bat file and copy the roms from your Mame roms into the corresponding folder for easy organization. It does not move your files so you will still have an intact full Mame rom set.
If you do not wish to have separate folders simply use the _NoFiller.bat to copy them all in one shot into a folder created by the bat file.
630 games including those commented out. The batch file may contain more than this since I included multiple versions of a few games so the user could pick which works best for them. (2 or 4 player version, Budweiser Tapper or Root Beer Tapper, etc)
I'm using split sets, these numbers may vary depending on type of set and compression method.

CPS2 ROM copier
By DOS76
In the newer versions of MAME there has been a change to these files adding a .key file that is needed to run on the latest versions this also keeps them from working properly with the FBA core in RA also. I didn't have the latest version separate with my CPS2 stuff so here is a .bat to extract them from the latest MAME source you can use them to overwrite your old files and everything will work with the latest emulators.
