    Launchbox 8.6 Empty Playlists after using new method

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    All Mame Set imported from start to end.

    - Playlist are now duplicated  (mame new imported + my old playlist).
    - All playlist are named equal (Example:  Shoot em up  and Shoot em up).
    - If I delete one playlist,  it deletes all games inside the duplicate.

    I had to Delete all playlist  (New and Old)  and Import again all mame library.

    Now all works fine :)
    Hope this info could help others.

    If you want to backup in cloud,  Linus has a recent Video  comparing different cloud servers  to host 76 TB of data.

    If I remember well..... Is UNLIMITED hosting data,  with a max cap of 850 GB day.   They purchased 5 accounts to Upload 850x5 GB day......   Win-Win :)

    They ended purchasing several google accounts ,  is like 100 times cheaper.   

    Here you have the video:

    Im using Free File Sync  to backup data across three hard drives.

    - It´s an awesome software,  can read my 300.000k files to compare one disk against other  in a few seconds.   Really big performance.
    - Can create batch files to syncronize always same task.
    - Can do multi-copy from one source to two or more locations at same time  (donation version)
    - Can do mirror ,  or mirror compare,  or one side,  or both sides  (comparing file date, size...)
     

    My library is only about 1 Tb at this moment  (SSD)  ,   but I want to do a big collection as other users.

    Change Volume Level with your Arcade Stick (AHK inside)

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted · Edited by goyetus

    I was searching for two days to get any volume control for win10 that works only with my Arcade Stick and Buttons.

    This is extremely usefull when you have no keyboard or mouse attached,   some games plays louder than others....

    I have find nothing,  so ,  I coded one myself  with Autohotkey.

    If you have something better,  please,  tell me!!!!


    The script works like:

    • Button 1 (down pressed) + left (arcade stick) :  Down volume 1%
    • Button 1 (down pressed) + right (arcade stick) :  Up volume 1%
    • You can change "button 1" to whatever button not used in your arcade cabinet.

     

    Tested and working perfect  with:

    • retroarch (snes and pico)
    • Dead Cells (steam)
       

    The code: 

    Joy1::
SetTimer, WaitForButtonUp1, 350
return

WaitForButtonUp1:
if GetKeyState("Joy1")  ; The button is still, down, so keep waiting.
Loop

{
    GetKeyState, state, JoyX

    If (state > 75) and (GetKeyState("Joy1")) ;JoyX is pressed to right
        SoundSet,+0.5    


    If (state < 25) and (GetKeyState("Joy1")) ;JoyX is pressed to right
        SoundSet,-0.5


}

    return
; Otherwise, the button has been released.
SetTimer, WaitForButtonUp1, Off
return

     

     

    Hope this helps someone.....

    Help doing a Video remover

    in Features

    Posted · Edited by goyetus

    Thanks for  your help,  but it seems I must code the hard way.

    Scan rom folder and compare 1:1 to video folder.   Regards!!!

     

    I dont understand why this function is not available in Launchbox,  you have all code from "remove images" ,  that is a little more complex than deleting only 1 or 2 videos per rom.


    Regards

    Help doing a Video remover

    Hello,  Im a 25 years old dev.

    I was looking into all the launchbox files for any xml including Paths to Media  (images and video).   No luck for me.

    Im trying to do a standalone app  to delete all video files from roms deleted in the system. 

    My work,  will be faster if I have one xml with the routes for media,  but seems hardcoded inside the Launchbox system  (at least,  I can not find any xml with image or video path data).

     

    Could you help me?   If there is no metadata ,  I will assume to do my app with search by exact filename and directory,  but xml will help.

    Regards!!!

    1 Platfform > 1 retroarch > 2 cores ......

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Sorry if this was answered before,  I didnt find it.

    I have a mame folder for Shoot em ups,  I configured it as a "plattform".

    I see that My platfform only supports 1 core from retroarch.   Example:  Platfform:  Shoot em ups >  Retroarch > Mame2003.dll

    How can I set "some games"  to start in retroarch,  but with another mame_core ?     

     

    Regards!!!
