    Changing existing picture for an entry

    in Noobs

    Posted

    I use clear logos f.ex. in MAME, sometimes there are 2 different, and I want to use a specific one, not necessarily the one given. So I edit the entry, go to the pictures, scroll to the one I want, but I cannot set it as default. 

    I have to browse my image folder to find it, change the name to the one it is at the moment, rename or delete that one, and eventually I get the image I want. 

    Is there some way? Like right clicking the image and be able to choose "use as default picture"? 

     

    Launchbox/Bigbox/Emulators/Roms issues

    4. Launchbox premium/bigbox backup - how do i backup LB/BB and make a fresh install that will remember my configured emulators, platforms, imported roms, emumovies files? My emulators and roms are located outside LB folder.

    I run everything from external disk, than you have already a backup and it’s the easiest way to carry over to another system. Just make a 1:1 copy of your installation, most important being the xml files where LB stores your paths etc. 
    And indeed that Intel GPU will be your bottleneck for sure, but still should run lower systems you mentioned well enough. 

    EMUMovies FTP vs LB Media Import

    I think it might work the way you want to do it, just copy the media in the right folders, named correctly obviously, and LB knows how to handle it.

    Taking a closer look at any platform.xml file shows that LB stores it's "text" based data here, but not any information about media, as <ManualPath /> <MusicPath /> <VideoPath /> f.ex. are empty, meaning the path link isn't stored here. 

    I would suggest letting LB scrap 1 game, creating the correct folders on your disk, then manually copy your media over and after that scanning your files. Worth a try.

    Don’t know, but I would search for an .ini or .xml file where your settings are probably stored. You should be able to change it there again. 

    Problems with 3DO Interactive

    in Noobs

    Posted

    I'm having problems launching the 4DO emulator from LB. The emulator is configured and I can run games through it. But if I launch a game from LB, it just starts the emulator, but boots no game. BIOS is loaded. Default command-line parameters are: --StartFullScreen -StartLoadFile

    I tried to use the RetroArch core, and I can download it, although when browsing to "associated platforms", it's not available.

    Instead of pointing LB to the correct paths again, which can be cumbersome, I just edit the corresponding .xml file and replace f.ex. c:\ with e:\ or whatever your external drive letter might be. Works also fine replacing c:\ with f.ex. e:\games\...

    MAME shows more than imported

    What's now with media, did it also import media for the complete set, or only my existing stuff? As I don't necessarily want to go through the whole download everything process again. 

    EDIT: I think I can see that it downloaded everything. 

    Delete game from collection PLUS media?

    in Noobs

    Posted

    Sometimes I set my settings that if I delete a game within LB that it also deletes it straight away from my disk. Annoying part is that I still have then to delete images, videos and music manually, as I won’t need them anymore, saving some space. Can become cumbersome when deleting several games.

    is there a way that the media also gets deleted when deleting games, or do I have to do it manually?

    Still playing around a bit with LB to learn before I add more stuff, because my next collections I add, will only contain games that I will filter out of complete sets, otherwise I can become quite messy, when you have over 1000 entries for one single system, plus obviously it takes up more space.
