    Open RA by itself, not through LB. Load a core for the desired system. Go to Settings>Input>Hotkeys (set hotkeys - especially the first one Hot Key Enable) then go down to Port 1 Controls. Set your buttons. Go to Main Menu>Load Content - load a game corresponding to the core you loaded. When the game has started, use the button combo or keyboard combo to access the Quick Menu. Press [up] four times to find the Overrides option, enter it. Press [up] twice to save core overrides. This will save your configuration for this specific core. Repeat the process for all other cores/systems. *** You may or may not want to enable Settings>Configuration>Save Configuration on Quit depending on whether or not you want to save your RA configuration globally or per core (this is needed when you want to apply a specific shader and/or overlay automatically on when launching a game from a particular platform from within LB. This would be done with Main Menu>Configuration File>Save New Configuration. You would set Extra Command Line Parameters as such:

    I believe you can also edit the emulator and go to right column and edit the images there? Selecting your clear logo, etc for the ones desired in your platform images folders?

    That's exactly how it's intended to be setup. Start with the image priority settings. Set which type you want displayed. Next, have only one image in the main type. This is the image that will be displayed. If the main image type does not exist then it looks for the second image type and the image within it... And so on. There is no point in having multiple box front images, just have the one you want to see, all others are just taking up space. The only types of images you would want multiple of are gameplay and Fanart backgrounds, all other categories like cart front, 3D cart, 3D box, clear logo, box front/back/spine would all only need one per category, the rest is wasted space.

    Try no dash - As mentioned, special characters cause it fits, even in folder names.

    In LB options go to controller bindings. Set your controller button combo for Exit. Next edit the RA emulator settings within LB. You'll need to set a Auto-Hotkey (AHK) for game running. This can be found here on the LB forums. This will basically link your button combo for Exit to the ESC key which is the default RA shutdown key. Search the forums for "RetroArch AHK exit"

    Oh my gosh! And here I thought that my 5X was a luxury splurge, I had no idea this was going to be the price on this thing. Well, forget THAT! Thanks for the research.

    A new RetroTink 4K has been announced for release at the end of 2023. The new baked-in profiles look awesome! https://youtu.be/E3ep6sw0c8Y?si=skC7Tou_8kbGAFXF

    Five years and 41 pages of posts are a bit much to look through. Question: How do I take to use SL to customize controller settings per platform/emulator; hopefully being able to set control bindings for multiple controllers like a wireless gamepad and a wired fightstick.

    I hear you but, as you know, RPCS3, PCSX2, and Dolphin are ultra simple to update and trivial to do so. You could 1. run the emulators from the server and write-protect the controller and emulator settings files OR 2. Run LB & emulators locally and then use FreeFileSync to automatically (--automatic using the included RealTimeSync .exe) sync all LB and emulator files to/from the server. You would then set the files you don't want to sync as excluded in the Filters list in FFS.

    That would be the idea with the individual installs - each emulator would be able to handle the individual video and controller settings. You don't need a license for each machine, LB allows for a single license on multiple machines.
  12. Knowcontrol
    There may be a more elegant way, but I would suggest having individual LB installs on each machine. Each LB would then be directed to the media and ROM folders on the NAS.

    I thought that was the whole point in Teknoparrot, no need to make additional hacks. In fact, this is the first time I've ever heard of dgvoodoo 2, had to look it up, sounds cool. I've played H2O with no additional software outside of TP. Have you just tried it that way? Here is a dgvoodoo 2 setup guide updated in 2021. https://youtu.be/gVbZ0NZzadE?si=bt86DkOFQn-CR6g5

    To help lighten the mood and to further highlight the success of LaunchBox: LaunchBox was featured in the August, 2023 Maximum PC magazine article titled "Play Classic Retro Games On Your PC". This is quite the coincidence given that August is the 10th anniversary of LaunchBox! It's as though a higher power is at work... 😊 I'm sure it would be copyright infringement to post the article here but here is the cover for the article.

    Just from looking at your screenshot it looks like you should add a "check all" checkbox to those columns. Just a suggestion...

    Thank you, this has never been clear to me and I don't believe it was mentioned in ETA's video.

    LB can only be run on Windows and therefore a container would need to have Windows as the underlying OS and since Windows isn't free then that isn't an option for distribution. IF LB is ever developed for Linux then yes a Docker container would definitely be possible.

    Yeah, the color scheme of the Audit tool makes the scroll bar at the bottom hard to see. Once you find the column you'd like to edit, click its name. This will sort the column by number of media per game. Click it again and it'll sort in the other direction. Ideally you won't have any missing images but if you do it'll show as a zero. Click the zero and you'll be able to search for images for that game. Click the name of the game (at the beginning of the row) and you'll be able to go to its editor window. If you have multiple games with missing images (or you'd like to search for more) click a row and then Shift+click or CTRL+click other rows to highlight them, then right-click and select "add media" (or whatever it's called, I'm not at my computer right now). I completely agree with the Start/Pause theme creation - it's been requested numerous times and I'm sure he'll add it sometime in the future as he said that's a feature he'd like to add.

    That's not the intent of the CTC. It's not intended to create a theme that shows missing content, it's just the opposite - it has functionality to set fallback images e.g. No box art? Show 3D box, No 3D box? Show Fanart Box, No Fanart Box? Show Clear Logo, etc... (These priorities are set within the LaunchBox settings) As you mentioned, this is the function of the Audit tool. It works well. Sort the games by columns to see what images/media are missing (or have duplicates).

    Try reinstalling .Net 6.0. Also, is your OS Windows 10? Is the Windows KB5026513 patch applied by chance?

    Really either way would be just fine. With the portable method you will definitely be gaining the ability to take that drive anywhere and use your LB install from any computer. However, the best performance would be installing LB on your Windows OS as long as that is a SSD; launch box will be much more performant if it can directly access the videos and images from a fast SSD drive. No need to do any drive mapping to LB, when you do the game import wizard it will tell LB where to look for the ROMs and then it will ask if you want to keep them in their place or if you want to move them. With the latest versions of LB I think you'll be very surprised with how good the import process has become. I would highly suggest watching the ETA Prime YouTube channel tutorials as well as the unbroken software YouTube tutorials searching those channels for your specific console or emulator.

    Not marques but these clear logos might look good. It would be a black background with the logo centered vertically and horizontally.

    That looks fantastic, congrats! One day I hope to have a cabinet.

    Is there a Windowed/Full Screen setting? Try the opposite.
