The ability to update platforms is a huge help and I just updated my MAME from .263 to .264 After the update I noticed that I now have a new folder "MAME 0.264" (my default folder was just "MAME"). Upon inspection I noticed a discrepancy in the total file count. Quickly poking around I see I have files in my "MAME/artwork" folder but nothing in the newly created "MAME 0.264/artwork" folder. As this and other folders are typically blank maybe make an option to copy existing data/folders to the new install or have an option to allow you to select the install folder so we can opt to re-use a prior one or name one specifically (maybe both options).

They posted a video for this:

After running the config app I was better able to understand the issue and thanks to arzoo the developer who pointed me to a section on his site that seemed to have fixed the problem. Wanted to follow up for others as while it fixed the problem it was not shown or listed as "SAPI". https://www.ledblinky.net/Support.htm#InvalidAudioDevice

Like many others before me, I am attempting to setup LEDBlinky to work with LB. After some trial and error, I figured out that LEDBlinky need to be installed outside on the plugins folder (mine is LanchBox/LEDBLinky) If I put it in the plugins folder LB would fail to start with an error message (bass.dll error of some sort. I do not remember it exactly). Once I did this after I exit LaunchBox I got some error messages noting that I needed to have controls.ini and colors.ini in the LanchBox/Plugins/LEDBlinky folder. D/L copies from LEDBlinky website. That was easy... Now I have 1 error that I cannot figure out how to resolve. When I exit LB I get the error: Unable to set SAPI parameters. OLE error 80045039 I searched high and low and have not seen any references to this one. Any suggestions of a link to a resolution?

I built a multi-cade which originally ran on a Raspberry PI3B+ running Emulation Station (400gb image). Really never had any issues with it other than needing more time to handle command line stuff due to it being based on Linux and some unfamiliarity. Finally decided to pull the plug and move my LaunchBox PC into it. My question is it possible to move the PI's games over to the LaunchBox system? Hoping it is and just as simple as FTP/SSH data transfer between the two.

This should be made part of the core application.

Has anyone been able to incorporate this into LaunchBox? With over 70,000 games and 8,000 animations it would be a nice addition to be able to bring it up under the LB interface.

I think the definitively best commercial cabinet would be RecRoomMasters. Arcade Cabinets, Controllers & Electronics | MAME Cabinets (recroommasters.com)

I followed ETA Primes videos on importing MAME and Atari 2600 files. Everything worked and the data downloaded accordingly. However all I have is "Al 5139l", "good 3819", "imperfect 1212", and "preliminary" I do not have any platforms listed as described in the video. Running latest builds of everything. What did I miss??? :::EDIT::: figured it out. Saw a few screen captures and did not realize I needed to change the first drop down to "Platform List" I am officially a n00b lol

The Arcade 1up is ok for what it is. My Rasberry PI and LaunchBox/Hyperspin are strictly full size cabinet.

I first started with an Arcade 1up system, quickly moved to a "large" Rasberry PI system (still have) and then finally to a PC based setup. With power and noise, I am now contemplating a new build based on an Intel Compute Stick CS525. Any thoughts? Figured this would be interesting if anything...

In this day and age I would rather a program like MBam to be over zealous than risk encrypting an entire drive with ransomware. Once you have verified that the file in question is "virgin" and not infected just add it to your white list.

Ok, I admit I am an "completionist" and working on the MAME collection first. Given that, what size drive would you think I need to house all the ROMS, and CHD files just for the MAME side of things? I can easily see this is going to spiral out of control and trying to just allocate some space on my NAS dedicated to just this project...
