[Translating LaunchBox]

I have run a global spell check and corrected some other minors errors and translation (but haven't change sentences), only in the String file. I use "thewhite" previous french file in this forum (Feb. 27th).

Thanks for the work !

[Translating LaunchBox]

Hello

I've seen some slight misspelling in the french translation. Can I correct it and upload it here ? (for instance "temps jouer", "organier"...)

Thanks for the good work done here !

Just found something today, when you change the view to "List view" you can select all games with CTRL+A then with CTRL+C copy all the list to clipboard and paste it in Excel or any other spreadsheet software.

🙂

Thanks for the tip! It works nice, but I noticed that neither the wikipedia nor the video link are pasted when using this method. The column are here, but empty.

The other way is to directly import the XML datafile into a spreadsheet. See for instance the documentation for Libreoffice Calc : https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-ZA/text/scalc/01/xml_source.html

In the last case you can directly select the columns/data you want to import.

[THOMSON computers in platform db]

Hello

Could you please add to the database the THOMSON computer series (MO5,MO6,TO7) ? It was a popular computer in france in the 80's (due to a government funding program), based on Motorola CPU. Lots of french games at that times.

See for instance : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_TO7  and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_MO5

It was previously mentionned here :

Thanks

14) Jason, I respect your faith a good deal but pushing bible quotes at the bottom of the moderator page is just weird on an unrelated religious site. What if Muslims, Jewish, Pagan, Hindi folk etc made quotes on a unrelated topic site toward you?

I totally agree with you. And it's the same on the about box of the app.

[Epicfail scummvm launcher]

Hi !

[ScummVM games wont start in launchbox.]

Hi !

After some trials I found a "simple" way to use a standard ScummVM installation with Launchbox and WITHOUT EpicFails tool.

1. download and install ScummVM from scummvm.org.
2. launch ScummVM and scan for games in your folders (see ScummVM doc for that) : a list of detected game will appear. (you can verify if they are functional)
3. Within LaunchBox : Add manually a game in the ScummVM platform section : just right click, add a game, and put the name of the game, for instance Sam & Max. Then search in the database to obtain the related metadata. (At this point there is still no link to any file for this game within Launchbox.)
4. Open the scummvm.ini config file with a text editor. In windows 10 it's located here: %APPDATA%\ScummVM\scummvm.ini  (look on https://docs.scummvm.org/en/v2.5.1/advanced_topics/configuration_file.html for more information)
5. At the end of this file you can find the list of your games as detected on step 2: look for the ID of the game. For Sam and Max it looks like this: [samnmax-fr] (french version here. It may vary depending on the version and language of the game)
6. In Launching section of the game properties windows put the application path for scummVM: for instance C:\Program Files\ScummVM\scummvm.exe on windows
7. On application Command-Line Parameters put the ID of the game : samnmax-fr (see attached screen capture)
8. That's All Folks ! you can even get rid of the ScummVM folder in the third party folder of the Launchbox installation
