    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?

    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.

    Not yet

    Asparky is taking over the management of the archive on Saturday from me, I'm taking a back seat from it.
  10. -McFly-
    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.
  15. -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
  16. -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.

    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
  20. -McFly-
    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.
  23. -McFly-
    Apologies if I've overstepped some mark but people keep asking for more.
  24. -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.
  25. -McFly-
    Agreed, very time consuming and near impossible. I don't make 1g1r sets.
