Speaking of "quotes"... Looks like they need to be REMOVED from the last line (FileRemoveDir.....). And since it's also creating the subfolder, you'll need to set recurse to "true". FileRemoveDir, I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\%romName%, 1

Nice catch!! Glad to have helped guide you and that it's working now.

After the xbeFilePath line add in MsgBox, %xbeFilePath% ;See what it's finding. If anything. The "R" on the Loop line... "R = Recurse into subdirectories (subfolders)" So basically it will drill down through the subfolders looking for the specified "F"ile ('default.xbe'). May need to add quotes.?.?. (just a guess) RunWait, "I:\LaunchBox\Emulators\CXBX-R\CXBX.exe" "%xbeFilePath%", 1

If it's safe to say, that after extracting "Futurama[!].7z", of all the folders, subfolders and files that are extracted from it, no matter how many there are, there is ONLY ONE file that is named "default.xbe"... then this should work. fullPath = %1% SplitPath, fullPath,,,,romName RunWait, "I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -y -o"I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\%romName%" "%1%",,hide xbeFile = I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\%romName%\default.xbe Loop, Files, %xbeFile%, FR xbeFilePath .= A_LoopFilePath RunWait, "I:\LaunchBox\Emulators\CXBX-R\CXBX.exe" %xbeFilePath%, 1 ;FileRemoveDir, "I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\%romName%" Note: The 1st RunWait line was modified. If all goes well, xbeFilePath should equal I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\Futurama[!]\Futurama\default.xbe

Stupid illegal characters. lol My bad... Change the "SplitPath" line ;Not this any more ;SplitPath, %1%,,,,romName ;Now this (these) fullPath = %1% SplitPath, fullPath,,,,romName The rest should be the same. I hope.

Gotch'ya. My Mini's super old and don't thing it'll even take the 5.0 firmware.

Can the mini even be switched to Xinput?

Your best bet might be to create an AHK script that is the emulator. Something similar to ; %1% = "I:\LaunchBox\Games\XBox\my_game.zip" MsgBox, %1% SplitPath, %1%,,,,romName ; romName = my_game MsgBox, %romName% RunWait, "I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -y -o"I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\%romName%" "%1%",,hide if FileExist("I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\default.xbe") { MsgBox, It exists FileMove, "I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\default.xbe", "I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\%romName%.xbe", 1 } RunWait, "I:\LaunchBox\Emulators\CXBX\CXBX.exe" "I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\%romName%.xbe", 1 FileRemoveDir, "I:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\7-Zip\Temp\%romName%" The MsgBox's are for testing. I've never used CXBX, so don't know if it looks for an xbe file or something else (adjust accordingly) "my_game" needs to be named whatever it is CXBX is looking for (minus the extension). Save the above script somewhere (i.e. I:\myScripts\CXBX.ahk) For the "new emulator", set the Emulator Application Path to "ThirdParty\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe" (relative path works) Set the Default Command-Line Parameters to the full path of you created .ahk script [above], all inside quotes. ("I:\myScripts\CXBX.ahk") Leave all boxes unchecked. The Sample Command will look something like AutoHotkey.exe "I:\myScripts\CXBX.ahk" "FULL\PATH\TO\ROM\FILE" Now set your games to use this "emulator". This isn't tested and probably needs some adjustments but should give you a good idea of how to make what you're after, work.

Write that script to a text file and save it with the .ahk extension. (i.e. test.ahk) For the game(s) needing this, Edit the game, select Additional Apps, then Add Application. For the Application Path:, Browse through your LaunchBox folders and select AutoHotkey.exe. (i.e. D:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe) For the Application Command-Line Parameters:, type, between quotes, the full path to your saved .ahk file [from above]. Check the box "Automatically Run Before Main Application". Then click OK. Oh.... don't forget to give it an Application Name. You'll probably need to lengthen the Sleep time. I'd say start with 10 seconds (10000) just to verify that it works. Then dial down from there. You may be able to avoid the 'Sleep' altogether if the Window title is ALWAYS going to be "M.U.G.E.N." as in your screenshot. SetTitleMatchMode, 2 SetKeyDelay, -1, 110 Loop { ifwinactive, M.U.G.E.N. { Send !{Enter} break } }

It depends on the emulator. Some will have in their settings a check box (or something similar) to 'start fullscreen'. Or they may have an available command line parameter (i.e. -fullscreen) that you put in with your emulator settings in LaunchBox. Tools, Manage Emulators, Edit [the specific emulator] It would then go in the "Default Command-Line Parameters" box.

Tools, Manage Platforms. See if it exists. If it does, (and it's not showing 'on the left') it probably says "Associated Games" is 0 [zero]. No sense in showing a Platform that doesn't have any games. Once it has games in there, it'll show up. Some thoughts: On the left, in the dropdown, select Platform (vs Platform Category) until you get 'the hang of things'. Helps me at least. lol. You can call 'this' Platform anything you want (i.e. MAME), but in the long run it may be better to call it "Arcade". Only reason being when you search for help or watch videos (tutorials), "Arcade" is what's more-so commonly used. Or just be prepared to interpolate.

When you use the Full Set Import Wizard, it doesn't actually look at the roms you physically have. It imports based on what MAME says is included in the Full Set (minus any items you checked to not import). I think what yo can do is, after using the wizard, click Tools and then 'scan for deleted roms' (don't have LB open for the exact wording). This should then get the games in your Arcade Platform that point to a file(s) that doesn't exist and give you the option to remove those form LaunchBox.

No. At least I don't think so.

From PD. It'll be with the Full Set [as opposed to the Software List ROMS (split)] And will contain 5 files.

When you run MAME by itself (mame64.exe), do the games work from there? Also, when in MAME, be sure to click "Available" on the left pane first.

Wasn't a Star Rating popup 'thing' done in one of Jason's YT Plugin tutorials? It's been [quite] a while, but I know there was at least a something he did using Star Ratings.

Don't know what to say about the 2003/2004 variants. 1st thing [I suppose] is to do a search (near the upper left hand corner is a search box) and type in "King of Fighters". If you did a Full import, included clones and imported separately you'd see about 58 games. Obviously it'll be less since they weren't imported separately. Maybe about 19 games. You could right-click all those and see if they (the 2003/2004 ones) somehow ended up inside one of those. Or change the search to "King of Fighters 200" to narrow it down to the 2000 series. Or even search directly for "King of Fighters 2003" or "King of Fighters 2004". I don't know if the search box looks for "Addition Apps" or not. If it comes down to, they're truly not the there, you can always drag-and-drop the roms into LaunchBox to manually import them.

Sounds like the games may have gotten combined (added as "Additional Apps" to the parent game). Try right-clicking on your "The King of Fighters 2003" and see if they show up there. (I think somewhere near the top of the menu that pops up, it'll show something like "Play.....")

My cab has one of those wonky 1680x1050 monitors also. And when {Win}{Left} (fit left half of monitor), Delete was getting cut off also. Stretching the right edge out fixes that. So does running it full screen.

Well that's unfortunate. Were all games actually where you told LB they were located? Or did they by chance get moved? Because what I imagine the scan does is look in the Arcade.xml for the application paths of every game and then checks if those files actually exist. i.e. F:/LaunchBox/Games/Arcade/1on1gov.zip If not too late , there is the Restore Data Backup... (under Tools) feature to restore a backup copy of the Arcade Platform. Or just start fresh with 0.228.

Ahh yes... Arcade. There are 'boxes' you can find (this forums Downloads section??) but they can be kinda ehh. I try to use Arcade -Cabinet (my attempt to keep the nostalgia thing going), then Advertisement Flyer - Front then Screenshot - Game Title. Go into Tools, Options, Box Front Priorities and then push Arcade - Cabinet all the way to the top. This won't interfere with the other Platforms as they don't have those images and will jump to the next priority. (my method's a little convoluted, but you get the idea of how you can switch it up.) And like Neil said, Tools, Clean Up Media is definitely your friend after a long-time 'scraping'. Save it for the end of the day and let it do its' thing as it may take a while.

If I'm thinking correctly, you should then be able to go to Tools, Scan for Missing roms (something like that). It'll find the ones it added [not in your curated set] and then you'll be able to remove 'those' games from LB. But since robocopy is only copying same-named [updated] files, nothing needs to be done in LB. No re-import. no notin'. Say for example you have "1on1gov.zip" dated 01/01/2018 (made up date) in your curated set and in LB. Then your Full Set gets updated and "1on1gov.zip" is now dated 08/14/2020 (actual most recent date). So robocopy then copies/overwrites the zip file, but LB is still pointing to ../LaunchBox/Games/Arcade/1on1gov.zip Again, no reason to re-run the LB Full Set Import tool. And the game runs using the updated rom. However this also defeats the purpose of the awesome importer for adding New MAME games and accounting for renamed roms. So a little give-and-take and some diligence on your part is necessary for maintaining your 'special' set. While clrmamepro (or your preferred method of updating) is doing its thing could be a good time to attempt to decipher whatsnew.txt.

I apologize. I assumed you were sort-of combining the 2. Sometimes after importing images, they won't show (regardless of the "-01" suffix). If that does happen, you can select all games in that Platform, then press F5 to refresh images. (Or for just one game, select it and press F5) But the "-01" shouldn't be a factor as it's there by design. Regarding the 3D-Boxes, that's sounds like a Theme specific issue. Which Theme design is a whole 'nother can-of-worms beyond me. xaml (and WPF) and I don't get along. lol

Ahh.... the caveats of 'converting' one program to another. That (unfortunately) make sense. LB has done pretty well with importing games (unless you're using some obscure curated set(s)), matching the names to the LB database ID then downloading media from both LaunchBox and EmuMovies, with little to no "...Hey!! That image [or video] doesn't go with that game!". Ya, some slip though, but it's gotten way better. I don't know for sure, but I think to a degree they do. I have found that if I had an imported game that I didn't 'link' with a LaunchBox ID, that it [sometimes] could find images from LB, yet find nothing from EmuMovies. Then if I went back and clicked "Search For Metadata" to get an ID it would then find stuff from EmuMovies. This could also be caused by [off-the-wall example] if the game's title is "Donkey_Kong" and (of course) via metadata search it's "Donkey Kong". But a Search For Metadata would remedy that. But I also found (on rare occasion) that the built in media import finds nothing from EmuMovies, regardless of having an 'ID', but going to their FTP site, vids to exist. If your coming across that a lot (especially with more-so common games and systems) then there's probably an issue that need to be brought up and addressed. (as opposed to a 'feature request' [in this case]) Sincerely sorry hearing about the 'bringing back bad memories'.
