Oh that works? Will try that first thing tomorrow. Thank you!

But the Audit Tool doesn't allow me to then select all games that are missing 3d boxes and start downloading them, right? What I would like is having Launchbox showing me all snes games without 3d box images --> select all --> download 3d images for those games.

Hey everyone, I would like to use some of the 3d game box sets available here to keep some consistency with how my collection looks. However, for the games that are not included in the sets, I would still like to be able to download the 3d images that Launchbox might have in its database. I would also like to check for missing game media one platform at a time, because I have a very large collection of platforms and it takes ages to let Launchbox update the missing game media for the whole collection. So for example (SNES): 1. I delete every 3D Box (USA) set in the SNES images folder 2. I download a 3D Box set and extract it into the SNES images folder for 3D boxes. --> When I now go to games missing media 3D Boxes and look at the SNES platform, there are almost no games shown even though many are still missing 3D Boxes (Non USA Regions) So my question is: How can I get Launchbox to show me, which SNES games currently have no 3D Boxes?

I use an android app on my phone to switch my PC on. It's called "Wake on Lan" Very handy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.mrwebb.wakeonlan&hl=en&gl=US

I much prefer a Windows install anyway. Great news about the android version, though. I've checked out several frontends and there are none that compare to Launchbox, in my opinion.

Well, great! So Windows 10 it is. ?

I've been following the portable PC scene for a while now, but never bought one, because prices were too high and I was unsure about how well supported something like this would be. But I gotta say, this Steam Deck looks really great. My daily round trip commute is around 2.5 hours, which I spend listening to music or podcasts and playing my Nintendo Switch. Being able to play PC games during my commute does sound intriguing to me. Of course I would port over a trimmed version of my Launchbox collection as well. If Launchbox can't run on SteamOS, I think I'd buy a windows 10 key. However, I suspect that windows needs more power than SteamOS, so I guess there could be a performance hit if one installs windows 10 on the steam deck, right?

Has anything changed in the latest Beta? I took a break from curating my Launchbox Setup and when I switched it on today and tried the colorful theme again, everything worked much more smoothly. Apart from small lags, everything is snappy now. That's great.

I've merged it with my existing collection. It works fine. Just use the manual from your Exodos collection and follow the instructions. Obviously you have to substitute anything exodos related with scummvm related files and folders, but the import procedure is basically the same: run the setup bat file, copy all the images, music and manual folders into your Launchbox folder, copy the exo folder into your Launchbox folder, and then copy all the platform and playlist files into the correct folders in your data folder. If you managed to successfully integrate exodos, you shouldn't have any problem with scummvm. Good luck!

Hmm, I think I'm rattert wait until exo updates this collection like He did with exodos and exowin3x. Anyway, I'm sorry, but I cannot help you. I haven't looked at exoscummvm, yet.

Is exoscummvm even available? Last time I looked on exo's homepage, I couldn't find it ... Maybe you have to wait till exo releases an update?

Should be possible in theory. You just create custom platform categories. My C64 Dreams collection is nested in Computers (Category) --> Commodore 64 (Category) --> C64 Dreams (Category) --> Games (Platform) I don't know if there is a limit for how deep this can go, though.

I second this. Retroarch offers bezel support, but some systems (like dolphin) run better with standalone emulators, so I usually have to play GameCube games without bezels.

Tanks man, this is way easier than I thought. The tips for the emulator and Comic Utility Belt were especially helpful!

You could make multiple instances of the same platforms for different regions. This is what I would do if I'd import all versions of a game, e.g. in Super Nintendo. Create a custom Plattform Category named "Super Nintendo Entertainment System". Then make 4 different Super Nintendo Platforms: - "Super Nintendo Entertainment System - North America" - "Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Europe" - "Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Japan" - "Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Other" As for different Versions / revisions of games, I don't know about any working method to tell Launchbox to prioritize the latest version of a game when importing, and importing previous revisions or betas as additional applications. Would be great if you could just tell launchbox to do that.

You seem to have some duplicate folders in your collection, e.g. "Microsoft MSX 2" and "Microsoft MSX2" (without the space). How did you include different versions of games, such as hacks, languages and updates? Did you just import everything into the same platform or did you make different platforms for, say, hacks? What do you mean by "saves"? Does your BigBox really take 30 minutes to launch? That seems really impractical. Impressive collection anyway. I'm at about 200.000 games (Mainly because of flashpoint, otherwise I'd be just a little over 100.000). Most of my systems are a 1G1R set. My BigBox takes around 1 minute to launch (which I already find a bit much).

I have retroarch 1.9.2. I can access the menu pressing f1. Maybe check the retroarch.cfg file. There should be a line called: input_menu_toggle = "f1" If that's there then the only reason for why f1 isn't working for you (hat I can think of) is that you have to hold down the "FN" key on your keyboard while pressing f1 (if your keyboard is laid out that way".

Well, setting this up in retroarch is actually quite easy. Maybe Rocketlauncher is the problem? I can imagine Rocketlauncher somehow overweighting retroarch's settings? I would try testing this using just retroarch without using rocketlauncher to check if it's working.

Yes that's possible in retroarch. I don't know about Rocketlauncher. I've tried setting up Rocketlauncher a while back, but decided that I don't want to introduce another software that might cause problems. So I cannot tell you how to do it in rocketlauncher. In Retroarch, do the following: After launching a game go into the retroarch main menu and select video, then scaling. Go to aspect ratio and select "custom". Now change the values to move the screen around and fit it into the bezel. Afterwards make sure to navigate back to the menu of the currently running rom and select "save core override" if you want all games using the same retroarch core to fit the bezel like that. If you use the same core for different systems (e.g. Gameboy and Gameboy Color), you might want to use "content directory override". Your gameboy and gameboy color roms must be located in different directories for this to work.

It's an amazing plugin. Literally the only thing missing is some way to ONLY import games and skip all applications. Manually removing all the apps from these computer systems is a pain.

Yeah, well I'm a fan of weird stuff, too. And I get what you mean. The fact that someone spend time to think about and make some of this stuff is just mind-boggling. What goes through someone's head when designing this?!

That's all I needed to know. I'm in favor of your method of excluding titles by having the excluded tag taking priority. This makes a lot of sense. I think I'll be fine with excluding the "Adult" tag. Man... this collections seems to include some seriously f***ed up content right there. Wouldn't want any of that popping up showcasing my LaunchBox setup to friends. Try talking yourself out of that one, haha.

It seems to have worked perfectly. Had to manually remove some of the older playlists, since Flashpoint reduced its playlists. A question about the new Tag System. Now I still want to exclude "Adult" games. There are however many other tags that would suggest "Adult" content, such as "sexual violence" and other problematic sounding categories, which I don't want. Do you know how this works? Do apps have multiple tags? Is it enough to just exclude "Adult" games or do I have to go through the list excluding every problematic sounding tag? Thanks for all your hard work, man!

Great work. I'll try it out ASAP! ?

So I've deleted the ListCache.xml in the Data folder, which seems to have sped up my setup a little. It's still laggy, but much less than before. Removing all Playlists smoothed out the setup to a point where I'd consider the performance smooth enough. But the benefits of using playlists outweighs the benefits of using Colorful, no matter how beautiful the theme is. Besides, my setup ran smoothly on your machine, so the problem must be somewhere else. I'll try renaming the image directories later, but I doubt that's the problem, because I didn't use any images in my Launchbox Testsetup on my other SSD. EDIT: Scratch that, after a few reboots of BigBox, the lag returns, I guess after Listcache finished it's processes. Earlier today, I also opened up my PC and dd a little RAm readjustment. I was using 4 Ram Sticks (2x Corsair + 2 x G.Skill). I know that you shouldn't mix brands, but I was careful that all the values are compatible. In fact I never had problems using these 2 together. I removed the G.Skill anyway to try if that solved my problem. It didn't. Now I'm running 32GB of Ram instead of the former 48 GB of ram. I'm wondering if I should put the G.Skill back in or if I shuuld leave them out, just in case there were issues which I just wasn't aware of. I don't know, yet. Anyway, long story short, my issue still isn't fixed.
