Knowcontrol

As long as the image name matches the game name and the image is placed in the appropriate folder, LB will pick it up and apply it. Otherwise, you could edit each game and import the image that way.

Not at all difficult. Just open the XML in Notepad++ Ctrl+h to search and replace, enter zip as what to look for and 7z as the replacement. Save. Done.

The OP links to a file uploaded in 2021. Is there a link for the 04/13/2022?

I like to order my systems by Year-Month-Day. 1984-07-22 for example. A quick Google search will give you that info.

To see which game corresponds to which file name you'd open the mame.exe application to access the GUI. At the top of the GUI there is a place where you can type the name of the game to search for it. There is then a sidebar that you can make visible that will give all the details of the game including the zip file name. As for the proper non-merged set, do as mentioned in a couple of the posts in this thread and go to pleasuredome get io (Google search gives you the correct address) and get the set from there. I just completed my 241 set yesterday with picking out each game, making sure I had the artwork and videos I wanted and then setting which ones I wanted as Favorites. I used the No Filler script to get me started on the games that I'd want. When I got stuck with a game file name I would launch MAME and look it up there.

Tap on the image that I linked, that'll take you to the forum post with all the instructions and info you need. Here is the link https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/3421-bulk-convert-cuebin-or-files-other-than-bin-to-chd/ Edit: as mentioned, you'll need m3u files so that each disk is in a playlist

There is a new plugin developed by one of our community members that utilizes chdman to convert bin/cue files to chd. Converting to chd will give you a single game file and it'll be about 60% the size of the original files. (It's a lossless compression kinda like FLAC)

Y.E.S.!!! OMG, THANK YOU! I can now sleep tonight!

It was an arcade game in the ?late 80s where you drive a red anti-gravity vehicle through a course where you had to reach the finish before the time ran out. You would zoom through tunnels catching the boost chevrons and could shoot these "enemies" that looked like tram cars. The graphics were very hard lines. I've done the best I can with Google searching but I only come up with the much more modern Wipeout and Redout as well as ballisticng.

Right-click the playlist and select delete

Looks like you are referring to Red Rocket Retro Arcade? Looks like a fun place, thanks for the suggestion. I live in Michigan but will keep that in mind. edit: Gatlinburg is quite the spectacle and should be experienced by all.

A few days ago I was vacationing in Pigeon Forge, TN and took my 7 year old son to the Big Top Arcade. In the back of the room stood a single retro cabinet (I'm retro too, I grew up in the 80s) with the combo Galaga and Ms. Pac-Man. I was elated to see that they kept a single play at a quarter as most of the games in the arcade were $1.50 or more per play! I swiped the card once and selected the Galaga Player One button. This began my journey to my best EVER high score in Galaga on a SINGLE quarter!! No cheats, no auto fire/rapid fire, no additional quarters. I made it to level 21 with a score of 143,160. That may not be very impressive but I've never managed that in the past 45 years. Anyways, it felt very much like Ready Player One (the book) where he finds the hidden arcade - where I found the single relic hidden in this glitzy, noisy, loud, and obnoxious modern take on the arcades that made us. P.S. If you ever visit Petoskey, Michigan, there is a retro arcade in the basement of a coin shop, it's called: Out of This World Arcade and Game. It's owned by this 28 year old who got into retro gaming on his dad's SNES. He has since acquired, rebuilt, and revived over 30 cabinets!!! His place is AMAZING! The best part is - he's kept each play at a quarter!! It feels like finding a arcade speakeasy and he's got a very authentic 80s arcade vibe to it all (I truly felt like I had been transported back in time and I was a kid again). My son and I spent $20 and over two and a half hours there, it will be one of my best memories with him.

LB contains its own VLC player within the LB folder. Check that it's there? Reinstall LB? Those are my first thoughts

Those look amazing! Nice job! Do you have a Genesis version?

I like the PS5 sounds

Thank you VERY much for this! I'm using it to launch BetterJoy to enable motion control on my 8bitdo controller for the Switch and Wii U.

Check out the Unbroken Software YouTube channel, you'll find dozens of incredibly helpful videos ranging from artwork downloading, emulator setup, playlists, to making BigBox look amazing.

I'm a big fan of the CHD format. They are much smaller in size (around 65% compression -think of it as FLAC but for data). It's a single file rather than the multiple cue and bin files. Look up chdman on the Google.

Try deleting all the update files in the LB>Update folder and then try the update again.

Can you show an example?

In LB the is a section to set image priorities for each image type. You'll find this in LB Options
