The problem when using just one platform with cart and cass mixed is that you'd have to edit the custom command lines every time you want to update the imported rom set. That's not very practicle. I think the best solution is importing different media types as separate platforms under an umbrella category: Atari 2600 (Category) Atari 2600 cart Atari 2600 cass That way you can use one emulator, but still use different command lines for the different media types., and updating a specific rom set is easy. In an ideal world, LaunchBox would have a feature that just what media type needs what command line to start in mame nand apply it automatically.

Looks interesting, will check it out. Does this only work on Xenia Edge or also regular Xenia / Netplay?

They aren't supported as far as I know. Do you mean XBLA?

The problem is "solved" insofar as the libretro core has added suppor as well via subsystem. So that works: --subsystem GBP %romfile% "M:\LaunchBox\Emulators\RetroArch\RetroArch\system\dolphin-emu\Game Boy Player Start-Up Disc (USA) (Rev 3).rvz" Great stuff! 😃

eXo is the way to go. I just WISH it were easier to use his collection with RetroArch, so we could use proper shaders and bezels. I know you could technically just point dosboxpure to the zip files, but that way you lose all the custom configuration for games that eXo made. It's not impossible to do it properly, but it's a bit hacky.

I also would like to know. It's pricey, but if it works well, it's basically the ultimate controller for anything arcade.

@JoeViking245 I have some new info on this issue. Take a look at this log excerpt. What seems what causes the metadata update to be hanging at "Applying Metadata", is the fact that Launchbox wants to randomly "save" some of my platforms. This has been happening sometimes when closing Launchbox, too, resulting in the closing process to take very long as well. This is not to be confused with Launchbox creating a backup of the Data folder. It's a separate process that saves the platform xml files. Do you know why this is happening? I haven't changed anything in the platforms that Launchbox saves here: As you can see, Launchbox tries to save for example: 2026-09-14T20:59:20.5535212+02:00 Saving M:\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms\ColecoVision.xml... 2026-09-14T20:56:14.5103650+02:00 Saving M:\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms\Bally Astrocade.xml... 2026-09-14T20:54:38.6584156+02:00 Saving M:\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms\Atari 800 Floppy Disks.xml... And many many more Again, nothing was changed in these platforms, so to me it makes no sense that Launchbox would be saving anything. Any Idea what's happening? EDIT: I left the process running. Launchbox seems to have saved a considerable number of my platforms (though by nno means all of them). The process is now finnished after roughly 1 hour. Now the the "apply metadata" bar is gonne as well.

Awesome! Great to see that we could confirm this annoying bug =). Thanks for all your help!

Wow, what are the odds this exact same fringe bug happens to two different people from Germany on the same day. Do you use NordVPN as well? Or could this have been a Windows update issue? I'm at al loss. If anyone knows, please tell us. But this is a different issue from the one I've been having.

So now I have cancelled my download, selected all games again, and then tried only downloading floppy, music, manuals, video snaps and video themes, now emumovies is stuck again: I cancelled the download and selected my 1000 games excludig the ones with + in the title, downloading floppy, music, manuals, video snaps and video themes. This seems to have worked (emumovies didn't download anything, beacuse all media files were present, I think (I hope). So the next test ist really interesting and connfirms, I believe, your theory about the + games: This is the 6 games in my SNES library selected downloading floppy, music, manuals, video snaps and video themes. As you can see, it wants to download over 60.000 files and the number is rising: Holy smokes, what's going on here? Anyway THANK you so much for pointing me in the right direction. There are certain ways for me to bypass this issue for now. Is this a bug that can be fixed with a Launchbox update or is this something that should be reported to emumovies?

This is so weird, I had the same issue before (also located in Germany). This might just be a coincidence, but just in case, for me the problem was that in my Ethernet settings, for some weird reason I cannot explain, "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)" got disabled (unnticked). I have NO idea whatsoever why this happened. The only thing I can imagine is a bug with my VPN. I'm using Nord. I had to re-ennable it and then the Emumovies website worked again. This happened only today, so this was not the reason for emumovies to act up, since that has been happened all week.

Yes, and it is going on still. Just to test I've selected to download all media from Emumovies, not just videos. I have selected "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields or media (recommended)", but apparently, there is still much to be downloaded. This takes hours to finish, maybe more than a whole day. But at least it IS steadily downloading without the previously mentioned interruptions, that occured. See here, this is the current state of the download that started roghly 1.5 hours ago: I imagine if I just updated manuals and videos it would go much faster. That's the next thing I am going to test. I'll interrupt the download now..
