Thanks I think I will ditch the original Xbox. Xemu has problems with too many games and a lot of the games on this system just weren't good/fun IMO. Hopefully the RPCS3 compatibility list is more accurate than that of Xemu. They have probably at least 100 games that are listed as working but have major problems or don't boot at all.

I've been setting up Xemu and original Xbox emulation for my cab but as I test out games to make preview gameplay videos I've been noticing that a lot of these games are either just bad or don't emulate well in this program. So I was thinking I'll free up disk space by getting rid of this system/emulator completely and replace it with the PS3 and RPCS3. Has anyone used RPCS3 for PS3 emulation recently and if so, can you please let me know about the state of PS3 emulation? Is it worth it to put this system and emulator in my LB/BB cab? Do most of the good games work and is the emulation in a good state? I have very good hardware. I just upgraded to a whole new computer with a 14th gen I7, 16GB RAM, M.2 system SSD, SATA SSD for LB/BB games media etc., and 2070TI for the video card. I figured I'd ask before I spend a bunch of time setting up a system that may not work great. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks for these. Can't use them currently as I need to research how to emulate Switch but maybe I'll use them eventually.

Would love it if emumovies added these as I'm missing 350ish and I only have US games. If anyone knows of a source or willing to share theirs please let me know.

Awesome update (I know it was some time ago now). Anyone know of other sources of game snap videos besides emumovies? They are missing a lot of the US original Xbox videos and I found about 20ish other videos from other systems that are missing as well. Any other sources of files for this is appreciated as I've verified they are missing from the auto-sync and emumovies FTP. Thanks in advance. I'd even be willing to pay a bit for what I'm missing if that's allowed as I know it takes a lot of time to do these. I am a full paying member of emumovies and made requests for what's missing but I guess they don't actively fill those even if you're a site supporter. Or at least I've been ignored so far. I guess it is just random people there that can see the requests and help if they want to but you can't have an expectation that your requests might ever get filled unless a random person just happens to be nice and do it.. Bummer I'm very surprised that there isn't a full collection of Xbox vids around somewhere. Or at least not that I could find.

Now I'm just posting requests for gameplay videos at emumovies as it seems they're missing plenty, especially original Xbox. Thanks again.

I'm no freeloader. I have a full paid membership to Hyperspin, Emumovies, and Launchbox. What I don't have is gameplay video clips for 541 of the 7500 or so games on my cab. If anyone is willing to help me fill in my collection I don't mind compensating people for their time. Since I've already done the sync from emumovies I assume they're just missing the videos that I am. About 60% of what I'm missing is original Xbox and there are maybe 10-20 missing for a lot of the Sony and Nintendo systems. I will have to go check the file names to see if some just need correction and then maybe more videos will download from EmuMovies. For the others I'm looking for help and like I said, I'd be willing to pay a small amount if that's allowed. I have a fast internet connection and could download via FTP or through shared cloud file storage like Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. Or if anyone knows of a source besides emumovies please do share. Thanks guys.

It looks like I have 435 Xbox games in my system and 356 currently have no video. I guess I'll need to manually compare the names of the roms/isos to what is in the LaunchBox database and manually rename all those files. Then if I sync again maybe LaunchBox will download more videos for me. And any other games still left missing a video I'd need to find another source for besides emumovies. Am I understanding all this correctly and going about it the right way? Also, does anyone have any other good video sources for gameplay videos since EmuMovies appears to be missing a lot of them? Thank you.

I think it worked thank you. I have been asking how to do this for a couple years now I think and never found an answer so I appreciate it. I work full time and just haven't made the time to get it right. There are just too many bad games that I wouldn't really want to play and most others wouldn't either so I'd like to keep my cab setup so that the best games are displayed first. A lot of games I just removed from the cab as well but I don't want to spend hours going through 14ish systems to get rid of everything I'd never want to play. I'm about to upgrade the PC I have this working on and once that's done I think my cab should be pretty much done other than fine tuning a few emulator settings and/or controls. Oh yeah and I have to complete the gameplay videos if I can. Anyway thanks for the help. Hopefully I'll be on to playing instead of tinkering soon.

If there is no way to display games by star rating when going to each platform, is there a way to have a Playlist for each platform (where games are sorted by star rating) and have that displayed INSTEAD of each platform? If I can create a playlist that displays games per platform by star rating maybe I can show that and hide the default platforms themselves? Is that possible and would it still accomplish what I want?

How do I assign the video file to the entry within LB like you mentioned (assuming that is a less time-consuming process than manually renaming many many files). Thank you.

Thank you. I'm talking about videos only and so far the only system I checked was Xbox. When I was in BigBox trying to select a theme I noticed that gameplay videos weren't playing for most games even though the theme was supposed to be playing them. Then I checked the folder and there were only about 90 there. Now I manually copied the videos I downloaded from emumovies FTP and deleted duplicates. Now I guess I have to scroll through all the games 1-by-1 in BigBox to determine what games don't have correctly titled video files. Then I'll have to go possibly rename 10s to 100s of video files manually to fix this issue. I'm really not looking forward to that as I had to do it when setting up Hyperspin previously. Is there any official support from LaunchBox/BigBox where someone can tell me why the videos aren't syncing from emumovies into LaunchBox/BigBox as they are apparently supposed to?

Hi all, I have a full membership to EmuMovies and have the paid version of LaunchBox/BigBox and media syncs. However I noticed that there are only about 90ish videos for Microsoft Xbox. I went to EmuMovies FTP and found 395HQ and SQ videos and downloaded them. Other than copying them into the correct folder will I need to do anything else to get them recognized in LaunchBox/BigBox like manually renaming the files? I forget how the system treats media names compared to rom names for example and if everything has to match up. It's been quite some time since I setup the cab and I haven't used it much so sorry for the noobish questions and thanks in advance. I'm hoping to NOT have to manually rename hundreds of files and also wondering why they don't sync over automatically like some other media does.

Also, when I right click a platform there is only an option to add, edit, or delete. If I click add the only thing that happens is I'm asked if I want to manually add a platform. There is no option for new category after right-clicking on a platform and choosing add.

Thanks for the replies so far. What I care about is just what appears in BigBox since that is the front end where game selection and playing takes place. I just want my 10ish systems/platforms on the main menu (which they are so no changes needed) and then when I select a platform, NES for example, I want to see all my NES games sorted as best rating to worst. I don't want multiple gategories/lists per system to appear in BigBox. If you're saying that your instructions will let me accomplish my goal I will go try them. Please confirm. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. I will have to do this part of your suggestion I guess since my question is specific to BigBox: "I would suggest creating an auto-generated playlist, set the Sort Games By option, and then use that within Big Box." How do I do that? Is there a written guide or video showing a step-by-step somewhere? It sounds like this is at least a 3-step process? 1. Create an auto-generated playlist 2. Set the sort game by option 3. Somehow change a setting or more in BigBox to tell it that I want to use the playlist for all my game views in each and every system. (I do want to view my games in all systems by star rating instead of alphabetical order by title.) Maybe, I'm wrong here, I'm just going from your comment. I haven no idea how to do any of that. I find both LaunchBox and BigBox's options/settings to be overwhelming and usually end up getting lost. I tried to take a look at some youtube vidoes but they were over an hour long each and didn't have timestamps from what I remember. I just don't have time to go watch a few hours of videos unfortunately.

Hi all, I purchased the software and have a cab setup but I haven't used it much yet. I'm trying to change that and have a couple questions. If anyone has time to answer, thank you in advance! 1. Is there a tutorial video or written instructions with a step-by-step for newbies like me that explains how to list games by star ratings per platform? For example, when I go into the arcade platform, instead of showing games in alphabetical order it would start with the game with the highest user star rating and go downwards from there with the worst-rated games being last. 2. How do I find and download as many themes as possible for Bigbox? Is there a way for the program to see and update/download themes from some central source? if so, where in the menus do I go and what options do I select to do that? If not, how do I find and download themes into Bigbox manually? Thank you

Any reply at all? Is this even being considered? I submitted it here: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/8886/option-to-have-each-platform-system-in and it says submitted but I have no idea how to check if it's going to be added and if so, when.

Sorry in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong spot or if it's already answered somewhere else. I know this has been asked in the past, but I can't find anything current about it... Is there a way to have BigBox sort games in each system/platform by star rating? Meaning the best games (as voted by the public/community) will automatically display first in each platform instead of the games displaying alphabetically? I know this can be done in LaunchBox by going to View, Arrange by, and Star Rating. If there is not just some option I can enable in BigBox to make this happen, is there a theme that can do it? If so, which one, and what options need to be changed to make it happen? My preference for how the games would be sorted in each platform/system is by highest star rating to lowest and hopefully, as others have mentioned in other posts here, the system could take into account decimals in the ratings. So if a game's average rating is 4.3 it would be displayed after the super-awesome game with the 4.9 rating etc. And it doesn't need to show which games are over 4-stars, which are over 3 etc. It just simply shows games in order from best to worst. If there's no easy way to do this in BigBox I'm going to be really bummed. This seems like such a huge and important feature to me. I have over 2,000 Mame games for example after filtering out the junk and I can't imagine scrolling through all those to find the best games. I'm also not going to have a keyboard and mouse so no easy typing etc. for searching. I don't want to have to favorite games or spend a lot of time making playlists or other possible options. This should be a default feature in the program. I'm hoping it is and I just can't find it.

Thank you for doing that. Hopefully it will find it's way into the automated media downloads that LaunchBox/EmuMovies has.

I downloaded the logo pack for Xbox from EmuMovies, found the file I needed for a game and put it in the Launchbox\Images\Microsoft Xbox\Clear Logo folder on my computer. I changed the file name to match the Launchbox database. It fixed the issue for the 1st game so I will go try to do the same for the other 3-games. It looks like the only game that EmuMovies doesn't have a logo for is "Knight's Apprentice". I just decided to delete that game as it doesn't have very good reviews anyway.

It looks like there are just no clear logo images for the 4-games in Xbox that are missing the logo in my Launchbox. I'll have to find something to use and update them manually in Launchbox I guess.

Thank you C-Beats. And for those also having the problem here is the reply via email: You can either use one of the two "missing media" methods, or you can add them manually. Missing Media: Click on the Filter Dropdown and go to the Games Missing Media section, click on Games Missing Clear Logos, highlight them all, then go to Tools > Download > Update Metadata and Media Go to Tools > Audit > All Games (or a specific platform), then click on the Clear Logo header to sort by games with/without an image. Select all the ones missing an image and run the Tools > Download > Update Metadata Media wizard On a per-game basis, you can edit a specific game, go to its Images section, click on the Download Media button and it will check our database for available images. If we don't have an image for a specific game, you can add it manually. Edit any game, go to its Images section, and drag/drop an image into there, then adjust the images "Image Type" to clear logo.

I audited my original Xbox system and all games have a match from the database. However several games are not displaying their logos in Launchbox. I was wondering where I go in the settings for a game to manually associate it with the logo image? 1 example is "Bloody Roar Extreme". I cannot see the logo/game name when scrolling through all the Xbox games. It does appear in the list as plain text but the actual more fancy-looking logo image doesn't appear. I hope I'm explaining this in a way where someone would understand. I'm pretty new to Launchbox. If I right-click the game and go to edit metadata/media, I can see the logo file under Media/Images. It is image 5 of 8 and has the title of Banner. Thanks in advanced for any help. It looks like I have several of these that need fixing for just this system. So I assume I'll have more to fix for other systems as well. A couple other examples are "Halo 2: Multiplayer Map Pack" and "The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact Maniax".

Yeah it may have been the theme. I was just surprised to see that it didn't look like 2D boxes were really imported into LB/BB for arcade/MAME, even from emumovies. I did uncheck a few things when importing the media but it was just things like Fanart. The "box - front" folder seems to include 2D boxes for console systems but I guess just not for MAME. Maybe that media just doesn't exist for MAME at emumovies or wherever else LB/BB gets media from? I'm working right now and don't have time to check. I copied over all the 3D boxes into the "box - front" folder since I discovered that is where the theme was pulling the pictures from and they were pretty much all not there. It didn't detect some of them without me having to go manually rename the files. Then everything was fine. It just took a lot of time to do. This isn't really a program issue in that case. It's the theme looking for files that LB/BB may not be able to get so I had to improvise. A lot of the themes I just don't like the layout of so I was set on getting a specific theme to work. I just thought of another feature that would be awesome. If LB could detect which games are in MAME/Arcade in the system and then go delete (or at least move out of their original folders) all the unused pictures and videos it would help people free up a lot of hard drive space and clutter. It could be done for any system really. I just imagine it would be difficult to program because it would have to link each and every picture and video file with a specific game and then determine if that game is in the games list for that system in LB. Possibly really hard to do. I'm no programmer.
