    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.

    I'm running mine right now on an i7 laptop... what are you using? Try removing some of the bigger .xml files in the Data/Platforms folder, see if you can pinpoint what system/s might be causing the issue? I'd also go through all the xml files and check the file paths, Notepad++ makes this much easier. I use 5 drives, H I J K L so these will need to be changed if you're not using these drives... I've tried to symlink all game paths to the Launchbox/Games folder but some need to stay in the /Emulators folder for technical reasons. I'd also make sure your computer is up to date (which I'm sure you've checked) and watch Task Manager for whatever is slowing everything down.

    Try reinstalling Launchbox in the same place

    There is a very long answer here but basically, you need to get a hold of all the games you want then replace your .xml files in your Data folder with mine, overwriting yours. There will still be some work to do by yourself, like making sure the correct emulators are in place and working, the paths all work, etc.

    Your Launchbox / Data folder, in place of what's there.

    Hi Zanuto. The password is shown on the screen immediately after donating, some miss it I just sent you an email with the password, let me know if you don't get it.

    Apologies if I've overstepped some mark but people keep asking for more.
  14. -McFly-
    I have a share going on that "if you were to deep dive" you might find some answers to some of your questions. I'm hesitant to put any links here to it, so if you're interested please email me at mail@snaapgames.com and say "deepdive" and I'll reply. That goes for anyone.
  15. -McFly-
    Agreed, very time consuming and near impossible. I don't make 1g1r sets.

    It's everything I can find including betas, demos, languages, bootlegs, versions, etc.

    this is where i am currently...

    I think this deep a level isn't required, IMO. I'm only looking at files that were renamed, redated or similar. byte by byte isn't something I'd consider from a hobbyist perspective just to save space. I have saved hundreds of GB of space using this. You may want or need more space saved which goes beyond my needs.
  19. -McFly-
    Not sure what you mean, this is free... https://www.bigbangenterprises.de/en/doublekiller/ I've been using it for years. It doesn't matter what the files are named or even what their file types are.
  20. -McFly-
    I use double killer to delete duplicates.

    I decided a while back that to be sure every game was correctly named I'd have to play them, or at least start them up to make sure. There's too many, so I don't.
  22. -McFly-
    Where would I find out more about this romset?
  23. -McFly-
    Currently a little over 900,000 with 35TB. Everything zips down to about 23TB.
  24. -McFly-
    It would be great if there was a way to zip something and show it here for all of these platforms... For android I use LD Player and Bluestacks depending on what each APK is or needs. TBH a lot of my platforms have at least 1 or 2 setup so I can right-click and choose another emu when the first choice doesn't work. I have a few pics that might help at https://snaapgames.square.site that might be useful - there's a few images showing all my emulators and more. This is taking up a little over 35TB right now, but zipped and uploaded it's around 22-23TB so far. Might be worth a look if you're looking to expand

    There's a link in there to download my current playform and playlist images if you need any.
