    I've updated it. The videos are now much faster. Comments / criticisms / whatever welcome. My Games Database - https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/collection/games/Mikieboyz

    YouTube mostly for the obscure ones. Launchbox does a pretty decent job of downloading the main ones though. Some of the games packs I've found had videos too.

    I'm uploading the newest version of my Mcfly collection - https://youtu.be/cG0PUyH39eA comments, criticisms welcome. If you see something I'm missing, or is just plain wrong, let me know. Thanks to Lou Silver for helping me grow this collection, he inspired me to reach higher
  4. -McFly-
    Yes.

    Here's a YouTube link, it has systems as well as a link to my launchbox database. https://youtu.be/Wm54MMTeqTA as for full systems, I did start with those and added to them, deleted duplicates, readded other full and part collections so at this point, it's a collection of literally everything I found. Complete? I don't know. For most, I'd say no. For some, probably.

    Thanks! You do you

    I'm using Nostalgia v5 emulator. There is a controller config for 4 players in there. http://www.intellivision.us/intvgames/nostalgia/nostalgia.php It seems to work pretty well for me.
  8. -McFly-
    Yes - time to play! As for hardware specs I might upgrade in a year or two.

    I'll get back to you when i can with this, i'm not ignoring you I just haven't had time yet
  10. -McFly-
    Yes, I've tried to gather as much as possible.

    I'll throw my hat in the ring... https://youtu.be/Wm54MMTeqTA - 238 platforms, 403,664 titles, 268 playlists. I talk about lag in a thread here;
  12. -McFly-
    Yes.
  13. -McFly-
    The video has no sound. As for the lag, I reduced it from 16 seconds to around 6. I'm happy with that. If you come up with a way to speed it up, let me know, but for now I'm finished with this project.
  14. -McFly-
    try again in... 8 minutes.

    I'm done. I've uploaded the finished product to YouTube; https://youtu.be/Wm54MMTeqTA - 238 platforms, 403,664 titles, 268 playlists. I managed to get the video delay down to about 6 seconds between each platform, playlists are significantly quicker. I'm happy with how this turned out. I actually have this on a 42" vertical screen, image attached. This is Pinball FX 3 showing. I bought the X-Arcade Trackball joystick as I had one before and it was superb - especially the side buttons for playing pinball. The video has a different theme to what I use for the full setup, the vertical theme doesn't look as good on widescreens. Thanks to everyone for helping me out with the video delays, most appreciated!

    I imported a 'full set', the latest I have is .215
  17. -McFly-
    I'm currently using MAMEUI64 v. 0.215 for my arcade collection. This is the complete .215 collection, imported as a "full set". I've also got about a dozen other MAME versions I use for other platforms as they seem to work better with these older versions. I found it easier to keep the mame folders separate with their own roms in their original roms folders. For instance, Brezzasoft Crystal System uses MAME 0.168, NEOGEO uses MAME 0.137.

    I defragged all my drives. I had to move a lot of games folders off of my games drives as they were almost full to allow proper defragging, then moved them back and defragged again. And again. And again.
  19. -McFly-
    You're right, these don't work for all Telstar and Odyssey games. I must have checked one game each with WinArcadia, found that it worked, then moved on. Unfortunately I don't know what games these were... I'll keep looking for another emulator for these platforms.
  20. -McFly-
    Oh - I'm now at 403,551 games on 238 systems and around... 300 or so playlists. I know
  21. -McFly-
    Ok, another update. The answer is......... defrag. Honestly. I moved a TON of files around, it got slower and slower after a point but my( annual) defrag-fest reported that my drives were a mess, so i defragged all of them, it took a while, but ultimately doing this helped Launchbox and BigBox A LOT. It's still not lightning fast but you know what? It'll do. For those who are interested, don't go above 200k games. TBH it was only once i surpassed this total that these videos and other things started to lag - i know for many this won't be an issue but for those who 'push the envelope' - know that anything over this amount will bring headaches. Unless you find something else, I'm sticking with this as the fix

    1. Four drives. 2 x 4TB, 1 x 5TB and 1 x 6TB 2. I keep the ISO's compressed, in their ISO form as I can fit more on the drives. Some PS2 games come in .cue and .bin files, I leave them as they are. 3. I've tried to find every possible version of all the games which includes hacks and mods 4. Forums, google searches and more. Have a search for Arcade Punks, what they don't have you'll find inside what they do have as they include URL's to others. Generally I find that one opens somewhere and I'll find somewhere else, and keep going... Chase the rabbit!

    I haven't played with any additional apps yet. When I was re-adding the games I unchecked the options to download artwork I already had. I'm going to go through and remove duplicates with the updated media check tool.

    So, I've found the fix. I decided to go back through a few platforms... remove, re-download, re-add. I did this with all my Sony titles as when I did them originally I was too quick and added by 'folder' rather than by 'file'. I did this with a few others as well, odd platforms that weren't as tidy as I'd like. Anyway, after doing this my videos in BigBox now show in less than 5 seconds. Every. Single. One. It seems that LB/BB was struggling going through a platform (or several) looking for games as opposed to other files that were added but not actual game files. In the beginning I added platforms by folder which also added other files that shouldn't have been added - I'm pretty sure that LB didn't show these files as actual games but at this point I'm not 100% as further tests of this have been inconclusive. I also noticed that my BB intro video went down from 15 minutes to around 6. If anyone else has success doing this, please let me know. At this point, I'm happy with less that 5 seconds per platform

    Can't remember... but It might have been from archive.org, i got a few of my older systems from there.
