About This File

***Check out  @JoeViking245's much better plugin instead. I'm leaving this tool available in case the plugin breaks but I won't be updating the data. ***
 
About the tool:

The tool is NOT scraping data from https://howlongtobeat.com/. It is using data that has already been scraped from the website and adding it as custom fields for your games.

 

I encourage you to visit the website and manually add the data for missing games as well as support the website by contributing to the database.

How does it work?

Just run HLTB.exe, select your Lauchbox/Data/Platforms folder and press confirm. That's it!

**MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR XML FILES BEFORE RUNNING IT!!**

What are the included platforms?

3DI Interactive Multiplayer, Arcade, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari Jaguar, Atari Lynx, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, Microsoft Xbox 360, Microsoft Xbox, MS-DOS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 64, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo Famicom Disk System, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, Nintendo Game Boy Color, Nintendo Game Boy, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo Wii, Sega Dreamcast, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation 2, Sony Playstation 3, Sony Playstation, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Windows

 

Will you update the data/add more platforms?

I don't plan on it. At least not on a regular schedule.

 

How do I show that data on BigBox?

You can create your own theme or make changes to existing themes using the Community Theme Creator. I'm pretty bad at designing themes so I don't plan on releasing one but I'd be interested if someone wants to create a theme that takes advantage of the HLTB data.

**UPDATE** 

I lied and made a theme for it. Here it is.
