    yes, i started there and gave up due to all the failures with uploading that way.
  2. -McFly-
    All my files are there, uploading and downloading is simple and straightforward. I just don't have time for all the questions and requests.

    My repo is up for grabs to anyone who wants to take it over -

    I'm giving up the entire repository that used to be at snaapgames.com as I don't have the time to manage it anymore. If you know what this is and are interested in taking it over, let me know. If you're not sure what this is; it's a MEGA site I used to upload my entire collection for archiving purposes. My goal was to keep everything available forever for anyone interested in preserving our collections, but the time I've had to give this has been far more than I anticipated and I just don't have the bandwidth anymore due to professional and personal reasons. It's currently sitting at 26TB and costs around $90 per month, payable on the 15th. ASparky was interested in taking this over but I haven't heard from him in a couple of months, so I'm opening it up to everyone. This is NOT FOR SALE - there is a monthly cost for this that will be payable to MEGA, not to me. There is / was a website associated with this and an email address. At a minimum I'll need an email address from whoever takes it over to forward messages to. I was asking for donations to help cover the monthly MEGA fees, you may need a website if you choose a similar path. Reach out to me via DM is interested. If no-one takes this over, it'll be cancelled before November 15th 2025 and gone forever.

    repo update - Asparky is still taking this over (until he tells me otherwise) so all the files will be available when he does.

    Hi everyone. I don't have the time to continue it so I'm closing the MEGA repository in 2 weeks on September 30th 2025. If anyone wants to take it over, PM me and we can discuss as there are several things that need to be done before the handover can happen, specifically email, web and banking back-end stuff. If anyone is interested in taking it over there are costs involved with hosting the repo. Thanks to everyone who grabbed what they could while they could, sorry it wasn't forever. I may make this its own post, I'll just put this here for now. Asparky - if you're still interested, let me know.

    I'm not using this, but it might be useful to you? https://nytric.com/clients-zapit-games/ I have several systems that don't have working emulators yet, I have everything queued up for when they arrive and work well.

    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?
  11. -McFly-
    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.
  12. -McFly-
    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.
  14. -McFly-
    Not yet

    Asparky is taking over the management of the archive on Saturday from me, I'm taking a back seat from it.
  16. -McFly-
    I tried, no luck. I have everything online as a backup but I'm not allowed to give any information about it here.
  17. -McFly-
    What's trash to some is gold to others. Different strokes.
  18. -McFly-
    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.
  19. -McFly-
    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.
  21. -McFly-
    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
  22. -McFly-
    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.
  24. -McFly-
    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
