Hi Everything is in the question. For now, i have all my Setup in a 4TB drive, following the Launchbox structures. But i have a sleeping SSD in my drawer that waits to be used, and i was wondering if having Launchbox and roms on my 4TB Drive and move the Media (images, video, musics....) on a separate SSD would help to increase performance of BigBox interface (BB is running flawlessly, but when i use the wheel too for many seconds in a raw, the logo of the games take a long time to display) ? If yes, is there a procedure to globaly reconfigure the paths , or i have to go in each platform to change manually the path for video, images, manuals....) ?

hi, i have little questions i've just downloaded those 2 wonderfuls package : eXodos v.4 and Win3xO v1.0. In launchbox, i would have to keep the 2 packages separated in 2 plateforms "MS-Dos" and "Win3x" 1/ If i understand well i have to install each pack separately in 2 differents folders then put those 2 folders in my launchbox "games" folder and do the import procedure for each platform ? 2/ can a game be installed from Launchbox after import or i have to do it in Meagre ?

Hi, Here is my point. I have 3 plateforms : Microsoft MSX, Microsoft MSX2 and Microsoft MSX2+ which works super fine. But as sometimes it's difficult to remember if a game was MSX or MSX2, i've made a playlist "MSX" that content all MSX, MSX2 and MSX2+ games". The problem now is that on my computer wheel, i have 4 names (MSX playlist, plus the 3 plateforms) I wish i could just hide those 3 plateforms from the wheel so i could just see the "MSX" playlist. Is it possible to do this ?

No, i did it few days ago, but i'll do the MSX 2 platform today or tomorrow so i'll see how often it happens and i'll note the name. Edit : i remember some : Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei Master Takahashi's Adventure Island Mr. Do!

unfortunately, if less comon, the bug is still there. I thought it disappeared but after adding MSX platform i could notice that some of the games still had the problem. The percentage dropped from 40 to 5% of games, which is a huge improvement. I also noticed that sometimes, not all the arts are downloaded. Example : sometimes a game doesn't come with fanart- background, so i'm googling it in case it already exist, and many times i google show me one, it's one that comes from the launchbox database !! Oo

Hello boys and girls. I have a little question : right now, i have many platforms fully configured (roms working, with full meta/media/art that i will not touch/update anymore). What i would like is to merge some of them that use the same emulator for convenient reason (For example Sega Genesis and Sega Megadrive or PC-Engine and Turbographx-16 that were the same console named differently depending the world area) Is there a clean and simple way to do that or a tutorial ? i wouldn't like starting to mess with the config files or moving roms or files without being sure i'm doing right.

i've also noticed that the last beta gives me all the available meta/art. At least i didn't have it on the last 2 platform i added (MSX and PC Engine). This bugs seems to be gone away.

how can i do that ? i just have data backup, not a "version reverse" menu ? Everything works fine in Retroarch. All installed cores and games (consoles, computers and MAME cores) are launching perfectly from Retroarch and were launching perfectly from Launchbox till the last 2 or 3 beta versions. I've unchecked the boxes. When i do that, Retroarch launches for all cores except mame wheere it freezes/Crash ("no response" message from retroarch) at Retroarch starts (last screenshot). I removed command lines, nothing improved I don't have any accented characters and everything was working fine till few beta versions.

I've tried both with the same results. When box unchecked, RA crashes, when checked, i directly go from the LB Game loading screen to the LB Game Over screen.

This afternoon i posted a topic about Retroarch MAME couldn't be launched from Launchbox. But after investigation, i realised that in fact, it's all the plateform using Retroarch that can't be launched from Launchbox (the standalone emulators launch normally). Of course, launching those platform directly from Retroarch works fine. Knowing that i didn't modify my configuration or added plateform for few days, the only thing that changed on my side is the Launchbox version -it's the latest beta. Do anyone have that problem too ?

in the update menu, you have to tick the box to update with the beta version.

i tried to reset my configuration, but the problem remains. here are the screenshot (i've tried with the same ticked box as i have for Mame setup, but no change) When i launch the game via Launchbox, Retroarch crashes/ends right after the loading screen (last screenshot where either the game stays stuck or doesn't even appear and goes back to the game over screen in Launchbox) while launching the game with Mame via launchbox, or directly from Retroarch is no problem.

i didn't touch anything in Retroarch. when i go in the core option, it just says "no option" and in launchbox, in the Retroarch Emulator settings, it's not ticked

i've checked; the platform is "Arcade" , same typo in Retroarch. maybe there is a box to tick or untick ?

Hello everyone. Noob question here. I have the latest Retroarch MAME Core (0.219 - with the same version of Romset) and when i launch a game from Retroarch it perfectly works. But when i use Launchbox as the main launcher, the game doest starts. The game also starts perfectly if i use the regular "MAME" as standalone emulator in Launchbox, so i think the problem really come with "Launchbox+Retroarch Mame core" combination. In my Emulator seetings , i have set Retroarch with the "mame.libretro" core set as my default for the Arcade plateform. But when i launch a game, i have the starting screen then it shuts down immediately. Am i missing some step ?

haaaaa noooooooooo i've lost so many times searching a function that were not meant to be. haha, ok thanks for the answer

Well i think it's me not doing things properly and not a bug, but i post it here just in case. In BigBox i've activated the option to have a star close to the name of a favorite game (i dont use the option to have favorites on top of the wheel coz i don't like having my alphabetical order messed up). The thing is i don't see the star close to the name of the game in the wheel of the theme. Am i missing something ?

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss thank you you made my day, that it ^^

hello everybody. I'm looking for the name of that arcade game i was spending all my money on during math courses^^ I played it so much time but i can't remember the name... And all of a sudden i saw it in the "Arcade" plateform video (in the moddle of the screenshot) If anyone could tell me the name, you'd make my day in this lockdown period

personnaly i did it with the lastest official release, i didn't try the beta, maybe i'll give it a try so i can see if there are changes

i confirm too the problem is still there. i'm adding new plateform little by little and although there is a match with the LaunchboxDB, the arts are not always downloaded, it must be proceeded manually.

Hello. I run through a little problem, i never had to configure Retroarch to use my XBox 360 pad with the installed cores and it was working fine. Today, i've plugged my pad on my computer, and it's no more detected in Retroarch. It works in BigBox, it works in my standalone emulators, but in Retroarch, whatever the core loaded, it has no action. I can see "Xinput" in my input parameters, but nothing works and if i try to manually configure it, i can press any button it's not detected... Any idea of what the problem might be ?

Everything is in the title I've configure my Amiga collection (with video, logo, merged games, etc...) to work with FS-UAE. This took me a lot of time.... yes, a lot ^^ But some games work better with other amiga emulator. But i don't want to have to go througt all this configuration time again. Is there a way to duplicate the Amiga FS-UAE plateform and rename it to Amiga P-UAE so it keeps all the media, and i just have to change the emulator ? (if possible, having the Amiga P-UAE pointing to the Amiga FS-UAE rom/medias folders so i don't have to duplicate everything... ? I've tried to manually edit the plateforms.xml file, but i guess i didn't do good, as it's not working

I've just noticed that problem in my configuration. All the games that are in my Favorites are not displayed in my plateform wheel...

Hello. Everything is in the title All my games are appearing properly in Lauchbox. But when i launch Big Box, a lot of them are not appearing in the game wheel..... I can't find what is the problem EDIT : After few tries, i notice that the games that are in my favorites dont show in the Big Bix wheel
