I would akso really love to see an "official" method for Gamebase import to Launchbox/Bigbox.

Can i ask for a few GCE Vectrex logos please? Gravitrex Plus https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/127825 Nebula Commander https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/142488 Patriots https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/132368 Patriots III https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/142561 (This game is homebrew, never had a physical release. Maybe a "Patriots" logo like above, but with "III" added?) Thanks ❤️

Can I ask for 3 PSP logos please Luxor: The Wrath of Set https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/24385 No Gravity - The Plague of Mind https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/18822 Taiko no Tatsujin Portable https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/121827

Hmm, i tried some more, because desperate to make it work Now it kinda seems that the first "Off the Wall" is on the list twice. Same game, Same date, Same metadata

Hi everybody I am importing a classic Mame 0.78 set for use with the Retroarch mame 2003 core.... and i get just one weird error that i can't manage to fix. There are two games with the same name: "Off the Wall" 1) This one scrapes just fine from the database https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/114856 2) This one refuses to be found when pressing "Search for metadata" https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/37926 So, when i search for metadata for the 2nd "Off the Wall", it only finde the first one. I even added the roms filename (offtwall) as "alternative name" in the games database, but still it won't find it. I should mention that the "alternative name" was accepted as change (it's the official MAME filename), and my launchbox downloaded a new local database this morning (hopefully including the change), so everything should be in order. I tried searchng for just "Off" which gives a huge list of games, but still only the first "Off the Wall" entry is found on the list. Same thing happens if i search for "Wall". It oftens happen to me that a few games does not scrape the database correctly in the first go, but usually these are very easy to fix by just pressing "Search for metadata" and select the correct title. But in this particular case it really puzzles me why i'm not able to fix it. Any ideas for me to try out to get this game to scrape metadata correctly? Can i somehow manually assign the correct game ID to the entry, or are there some other solutions i can try out?

Thanks, it worked for me too I didn't notice that new dll in the comments. I figured the plugin install-file would be up to date i wonder why not?! Oh well, since it works once again now i am extremely happy ❤️ Thanks again!!

I have been a happy user of the PCSX2 Configurator plugin, but now it fails on me with a crazy Windows errormsg (it might be Launchbow that throws the errormsg). The deal is that i updated my Launchbox, and recently i also updated PCSX2 to the newest nightly build. Now, if i choose to configure a title (right-click and select "PCSX Configuration") the UI for the plugin comes up just fine, and i see the "create configuration" looks active and ready - when i click it, then the errormsg comes. I tried to remove the plugin from the dir, restart Lauunchbox, and then install the plugin again, but it makes no difference. I didn't post a pic of the error, since i expect that a lot of you guys saw it befoore already But let me know if it would help. Then i will grab the screen or take a photo. But it roughtly says that some file is not found. It's not overly clear what file is missing, but it does look like it's Launchbox that misses it. Anyone has any idea how i can fix this?

I discovered two more missing Clear Logos from the C64 catalog Can i please ask for clear logos of these two, thanks ❤️ Below the Root https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/33270 The Bard's Tale III https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/31834

Can i please ask for a few C64 titles? Bandits https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/40631 Bombo https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/89806 Bone Cruncher https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/89810 Bubbler https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/90107 Murphy https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/87804 Blip! - Video Classics https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/110152 Thanks ❤️

May i ask for one more Commodore 64 clear logo? This time it is The Amazing Spider-Man and Captain America in Dr. Doom's Revenge https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/87133

Thanks a lot ❤️ It looks like this Apple Cider Spider differs from the one uploaded in the database? The picture below is from the database, and it seems that the bottom of the S is missing a hole

Can i ask for a few clear logos, please These are for Commodore 64 Alley Cat https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/87048 Apple Cider Spider https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/87249 Arctic Shipwreck https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/87402

@Napalm2016 Thanks for a very nice report

My Launchbox/BigBox currently is running on an older i3-based NUC with 8GB RAM and Intel HD graphics. It runs really well, kinda I was impressed to see it run stuff like PSP and Wii, but it seems to struggle a little sometimes, especially with PS2 games. This makes me wish that i had something more powerful, but still in a form factor that resembles a TV settop box somewhat. Then i discovered the Hades Canyon and i watched a few vids from ETA Prime where he really seems to like it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWibNuMLTFs). I fell in love instantly ❤️ But now this model is well over a year old, and i wonder how it's holding up? It still seems to be a super expensive solution (especially in my case, since i plan to max out the 32GB RAM and have two 2TB M.2 drives in a RAID0 configuration) So, if there are any Hades Canyon users here, can i ask you a few question? - Are you still happy with it's performance? - Did you experience any issues running Launchbox/BigBox? - How well does it run PCSX2? - Any emulators / situation that makes it stutter? - The fans Noisy or bearable in a livingroom environment? - Did you ever find the need to overclock? - Anything else that i should be aware of? Thanks

Nice, thx I will have to peel away all the adult/magjong stuff manually somehow, but from there i can just import "traditionally" into LB. But i kinda still dream about LB with time getting support for .dat or .xml some way

I hope for import of older sets also. My main need was covered with mame 0.196 with the implementation of true Taito C-chip emulation, enabling me to enjoy titles like Rainbow Island and Bonze Adventure. I never found a true 0.196 set, but I got a 0.199 set and a matching mame64. I would love to have Launchbox accept the dat-file which I can export from my mame. I was not aware about Launchbox only supporting the newest romset, and in my personal case it would be somewhat overkill... I am sure that the newest mame is very nice, but since I run from an outdated NUC I try to tone it down a bit ?

The user @seaview59 created a lovely EU logo for "Super B.C. Kid". The logo is uploaded to games DB - picture is "registered" as "Clear Logo (Europe)" https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/8902 Now i would imagine that i could right--click my game, select "Edit" and download clear logos, but when i see the list of downloadable Clear Logos it looks like there are only two logos (indicated by a "2" in parenthesis). I kindly ask for help to understand this: - The "Region" of my game is set to "Europe" - The rom file itself is in fact the true "Super B.C. Kid (E).smc" - The game entry points to the correct db ID (9250) - I tried to delete the db link and re-search for metadata, and of course it finds the same game ID - I waited som days for db to settle and "update" I guess i am missing something, because i only get to download 2 clear logos no matter what i do, annd these two logos are the two, old "Super Bonk" ones. I really hope that somebody here can tell me how i fix this, pls hlp

I made a mistake I made four 3D boxes to use with the Entex Adventure Vision system. I figured that it was about time to contribute to the DB and i uploaded the pics, now pending. But the images are no good, it was very obvious on the white background after upload ? Now i made a new set of four 3D boxes and i wish to fix my submissions... Can i delete the submissions and re-submit the four new images? or can i somehow edit them while they're still in pending or something like that? Sry, next time i make sure to triple check before uploading

So cool!! Thank you very much ❤️

Can I ask for two more EU logos please? This time it is for NES. Four Players' Tennis https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/11341 https://www.screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?plateforme=3&gameid=18897 The Bugs Bunny Blowout https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/1594 https://www.screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?plateforme=3&gameid=71546 Thank you

Wow Thank you @seaview59. This is gorgeous!

My very first request This is about SNES game "Super Bonk", with EU title "Super B.C. Kid" https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/8902 https://www.screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?gameid=2791&action=onglet&zone=gameinfosmedias There is only a US logo, and i would really love to have the correct EU logo for my SNES collection I tried to attach a pic of the box with the EU logo saying "Super B.C. Kid"

Thank you so much!!! You just saved me a lot of time and probably also a few headaches :) Never tried maxcso. I will give it a spin this weekend.

Some interesting stuff here, seeing as one of my upcoming tasks will be to play around with PS2 very soon. I apologize if this is seen as derailing, but it might also be too lame to start a new thread about it Packing with 7zip: Some of the games are kinda huge, like 4GB. Does the "unpack before run" not take some serious time at every game startup? Packing into cso: This idea intrigues me, since i do the same with PSP games. I didn't know this was possible for PS2 also. I read somewhere that PCSX2 will take gzip-files if the emulator indexes the file beforehand, but that seems kinda tedious. So, should i just use the same tool for both PSP and PS2 to end up with cso-files?

I experience this also, different platforms. I scrape, and the games are found in Launchbox database (i am sure because it shows the game ID in top right corner of "edit" page), but the videos are not all downloaded. Then i go to "Edit" and re-download without touching the game name, and i find videos available. I kinda feel that it is due to retry count, like it tries 3 times and then moves on to next title. This puzzles me as i have a very fast and stable internet connection. But of course if Emumovies does not answer then my speedy connection isn't worth pants Another weird thing i experience: The games are shown in Launchbox with different graphics (3d boxes being my default). Some show up with f.ex "cart front" or the likes. I go to "Edit" and confirm that there really is an image for "3D Box", then i click OK and suddenly the default picture turns to 3D Box. I don't really think this issue is about my connection I have a few other examples of unexpected behaviour, like sorting alphabetically and such, but i am fairly new and i am still unsure if this is cause by me not following best practice when scraping or if it really involves bugs, and in the case of the latter, where to report and that sort of thing. I have a strong feeling that thesse minor booboos will all get sorted in time And despite these occasional hiccups i am 110% in love with both Launchbox and Bigbox. I come from the Retropie scene, and i haven't looked back a single time ever since i bought my LB license. Enough babbling and derail, sry Early morning here. Gonna grab some coffee and OCD some more about my collection.
