1.2M titles, but they're not all strictly games. I've included cheats, videos and manuals as well so... probably about 800-900k games maybe? I haven't got a lot of the 'bigger' games like XBOX, Playstation etc. so my total storage is around 30+TB. 60TB is a lot of space for less than 100k games, I'm guessing you've chosen more recent systems?- 201 replies

These .xml files only has the Metadata for each game... title, gameid's, details, etc. There are no game files in the playlists. These .xml files get built / updated by LB when you import your own games. My .xml files show all the games in the .xml files inside MY LB & BB, they are basically a shortcut for you if you already have all the games on your system already. Any games you don't have simply won't open when ran inside LB or BB as they're not there. You don't need these .xml files if you intend to run the importer yourself - I've simply added them here as a reference if you are looking for more titles to add to your own collection.

Thanks for this! I have over 1000 playlists already, I could do all the ones you suggest, but someone will suggest others and someone else will suggest even more... I've reached a limit I'm happy with. Anyone can create playlists in Launchbox and upload them to these forums, you could help the community by doing these yourself?

I had a look at this briefly and it appears so. There's nothing definitive to add in the way of a standalone emulator or games, at least that I could see.

Asparky is taking over the management of the archive on Saturday from me, I'm taking a back seat from it.

Sorry to bug you man. I'm still learning Launchbox. I have about 30 consoles added to mine now. But can you tell me how to use your list here. (*Updated April '25* | 750 Platforms | 2300+ Playlists | Over 1.2 Million Games & More)
Do I overwrite the folders in the data folder of the Launchbox root or do I upload them somewhere else. Thanks man.

I tried, no luck. I have everything online as a backup but I'm not allowed to give any information about it here.

What's trash to some is gold to others. Different strokes.

They all need to be archived, or they'll get lost forever. I feel the same way about these as https://www.gamepres.org/en/qamission/ do.

I really don't play any of mine! Maybe when I have guests staying...

I use Drivepool on the Arcade for the actual LB stuff. 5 drives, 65TB right now. It has duplication going on and it's filling up fast so another 16TB should fix it when it's due. I also back all my home computers up to iDrive, including this, plus the whole MEGA thing. The Drive pool software is pretty reasonable priced and a thought I was taking a risk going that route but it's been pretty stable so far - I have had a drive go bad and it managed it well.

So I have a bigger, better update at I've reached the million mark and am happy with where it is for now. I've managed to remove a bunch of duplicates and tidied up everything I can see that needs it - I'm sure I can do more but that's the game
-
Last Update I think, I'm not finding many more to add so I'm calling it done. Maybe not forever, but for now.

That second error means your computer doesn't have the ms-gamingoverlay file, i think this is the XBOX one but I may be mistaken. Try here - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cant-open-ms-gaming-overlay-link/906df8a1-73bc-4eb3-9abd-f34c437ee482 Or it can be downloaded from the windows store... or elsewhere if you don't have that for whatever reason. I'm also seeing that your memory is topped out, that definitely won't help. Adding more memory will help, but your CPU will then be the bottleneck... I'd cut back on how many of the XML files you load each time, see if that helps any.
