  1. I like the look of not displaying the game names in launchbox. However in some cases I think it’s useful. 
     

    I imported the dos box games only to discover that many are missing box art. So I switched that platform to display screenshots. There are far fewer games without screenshots than boxes. But the screenshots don’t always display the names.

     

    is there an option to make the text feature platform specific ?

    Try looking for and deleting the hi file in your MAME folder...   ../MAME/hi/frontlin.hi    and the nvram/frontlin folder...    ../MAME/nvram/frontlin/      This will reset any local high scores you have for that game.  Which in your case you can't even see them (it), so no-harm, no-foul. ;) 

    Though frontlin.zip is, frontlina.zip is not supported by hi2txt.  So it won't (can't) show up on the leaderboard.

    That did it! Thanks!

     

     

    UPDATE: I spoke to see soon as the hi score disappeared on me again.  At least I know how to fix it.

  3. I'd  like to add to some weirdness that is hi scores.  The game Front Line (frontlin.zip) doesn't show the High score on the screen of the game itself.  At least not for me.  However in Launchbox, I do see community scores when I highlight the Front Line game in LB.  In LB, I then selected to use frontlina.zip as the rom to play.  The default hi score of 10000 shows on the game screen.  But there is no community scores, probably since no one use the frontlina.zip to play Front Line.

  4. @WInzen I got the game screen bigger even between the bezels. Launch the game and then hit tab. Go to slider controls. Make sure the horiz and vert stretch and positions look like the pic below. I just have to figure out the lag with HLSL enabled.

  5. I got it to work using Mess as the emulator. 
     

    As others have stated. The folder needs to be called svision.  It doesn’t matter where it’s at as long as you tell the platform where it’s located.

     

    in the emulator settings point it to where lever you have Mess64.exe.

     

    then see the pic below:

  6. Forget getting it to work. I can't even import the roms.  I rename the folder to svision.  I select import folder. I choose Watara Supervision for platform.  I select Mame as the emulator.  When I get to the screen that says "ready to Import"  no games are listed!

     

     

    UPDATE: I got them to import by selecting MESS as the emulator.  I've changed the emulator to MAME.  Wouldn't I have to tell Mame to look for these roms in the svision folder?

  7. Here's a list for starters.

    However Mr. Murphy and his law comes into play as you search your library for these games. Take for example Astro Invaders.  Well I didn't have it in my library.  I found it a rom for it.  Tried to add it only to discover I already have the file.  Why isn't it appearing in my library? After launching Arcade64, I discover it's a clone of the the game Kamikaze which is in my library. UGh this is going to be time consuming.

  8. I keep my roms on a separate drive (L:) from Launchbox, which is on C:.  All of my emulators are assigned To look for the Roms in L. But when I want to import additional roms, L isn’t an option, only C or where ever they are currently located. I was hoping LBWould move them for me.

    I am very interested in which control do you use.

    Reading internet seems aimtrack is the best, but it is quite expensive.  Is it the only one to buy to play lightgun games?

    Trying to find a spinner is surely worst :(

    Wiimotes and a dolphin Mayflash bar work great as lightguns.
