Updated again. I've added my Platform Icons folder as well. -
Just found this - need to delete a folder of zero byte files? - Powershell 'as admin' this - Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\LaunchBox\Images\Cache-BB" -Recurse -Force | Where-Object { $_.PSIsContainer -eq $false -and $_.Length -eq 0 } | remove-item (change the path as needed) I did this on my cache folder and everything is faster.

I've found some crazy downloads, stuff I'd never find on the known sites. I prefer to put everything together.

Check out my Platforms xml file, there might be a few there you can add - https://forums.launchbox-app.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=96455&key=b2a8a06f80b22bb6a08c82b77a140dea

I'm trying to find all languages, hacks, homebrews, everything. I have some 'best of' playlists that I found somewhere, if the numbers in there aren't whole (ie. 50, 100 etc.) then I take that to mean I'm missing something. It's entirely possible that I do have everything they're just mis-named but I'm not going through all the weirdly named ones one by one to see what they are...

A complete excel spreadsheet of all the games... I'm not entirely sure how I'd do that tbh. I've never tried importing from .xml to a spreadsheet, I'd need to look into it. SiriusVI's reply above is correct, I've searched in (too) many places to find everything and smushed everything together. Some sets I've downloaded might be 100GB only to give me an extra game or 2. I'm still missing a bunch of SNES titles.

You are correct Emrys3177 I haven't gone for a lot of the larger PS3, XBOX etc. titles as my need isn't just to fill up drives. When it comes to PS1 and others tho, there's a LB plugin here that will convert ISO and other files to CHD which did reduce a lot of space.

Around 32TB right now.

They got back to me and said " We are unable to take downloaded games: as a library, we have to have everything obtained legally from a game's rightsholder in order to be able to use it, so the games either need to be purchased by us or we have to have original physical copies. " Until this requirement is removed I'm going to have to find another way... or create my own. I think their requirement, although understandable in terms of legalities, does nothing for preservation.

I've reached out to https://gamehistory.org/ and I'm waiting for a reply. I'm sure anything you have will be a welcome addition for them.

I kinda took a break during Covid but I didn't stop. My overall objective from 6+ years ago was to collect everything, and that won't change. I will at some point donate everything to an online archive so these are all preserved forever. I have no intention of playing them all or even knowing if the obscure systems work as they should or used to as emulators are being written constantly for every system imaginable. All of the original games and other software titles need to be available to everyone for historical reasons. These are the foundations of where we are as a digital society and they won't be lost, at least if I have any say in it.

I have also experienced this. For a long time now I've had BigBox run at startup instead of Explorer which did help with a lot of the sluggishness. I also found that caching in both BB and LB help enormously too. My system takes about 40 minutes to boot into BigBox but when everything is cached and the system is not running anything else, it's beautiful to watch. I take backups of both my cache folders weekly as I don't want to start again... I have an Octocore AMD running 32GB with an EVGA Geforce 1070 video card. It's all running on an Asus motherboard with liquid cooling as well.

Ευχαριστώ για την απάντησή σας. Αποφάσισα κοντά στην αρχή αυτού του έργου να κάνω αυτήν την πλατφόρμα-κεντρική, αγνοώντας τις ταξινομήσεις που αναφέρατε. Η φιλοδοξία μου ήταν να συλλέξω τα πάντα σε ένα μέρος, ήξερα ότι θα υπήρχαν πολλές πλατφόρμες και λίστες αναπαραγωγής χωρίς να προσθέσω περαιτέρω αναλύσεις, οι οποίες κατά τη γνώμη μου θα το γέμιζε πάρα πολύ. Είναι αρκετά ακατάστατο όπως είναι! Ανάμεσα στην οθόνη και το joystick έχω ένα Stream Deck, έναν ελεγκτή θερμοκρασίας / ανεμιστήρα και ένα tablet που μπορεί να λειτουργήσει ως οθόνη για οποιονδήποτε λόγο. Το χρησιμοποιώ κυρίως για διαχείριση εργασιών και γρήγορους ελέγχους φακέλων.

I just did one of these last month, but I've added quite a few since then. Happy Independence Day! -
Honestly, unless it's fairly obvious there's a bunch of googling and guesswork. I'm pretty sure I've got some wrong as the process continues, but as time progresses I'm getting better. Some will be re-done as I update, which will likely never end as new and better emulators / systems become available... This isn't by any means a finished project and likely never will be.

é muito grande para eu carregar e armazenar no google drive e muito caro para justificar isso. Também levaria muito tempo para chegar à nuvem e, quando o fizesse, já estaria desatualizado.

Here's how it looks today. It's primarily set up to play Slots, but here it is with Pinball FX running. The mini marquee screen is running the BigBox startup video. The lowest screen is only used for booting and the tablet (right of the stream deck) usually just shows another desktop, but it's off right now. The iPad has a windows keyboard / mouse that can also be used for touch controls for games, when needed.

My wife and I like to play a lot of Slots, this makes the whole thing look more slot-like when we're playing those. I've added 'Divvy' to make sure that playing screens can be moved to the bottom third on my vertical 42" monitor, so it still looks good when I'm playing games.
