Thanks, this was giving me a headache today. BTW, "Load State" should look like this, you were using F2 twice. ; Retroarch loads state with F4 key by default Send {Control down} Send {F4 down} Sleep 50 Send {F4 up} Send {Control up} Let´s not forget the reset game option while we´re at it: ; Retroarch resets game with H key by default Send {Control down} Send {h down} Sleep 50 Send {h up} Send {Control up}

I´ve tested out skraper.net, since I was missing some covers and videos. The good: - it was in fact fetching more videos than Emumovies did. - it´s free. The bad: - my xml-file for my test-platform (3DO with about 60 games) was messed up afterwards (turning 3-CD-Games in 3 seperate games), - there were also tons of duplicates left (it downloads one image/video per file, so this creates lots of trash for multidisc-games) - I didn´t find an option to just search for a certain game/platform and grab what I need. You have to bind it to your frontend and run all over your rom-directory. Since I just need to fill some gaps, this leads to more cleaning work than it would help. In the end all it did was screwing up my setup, so I deleted all 3DO-media folders and started scraping with LaunchboxDB/Emumovies all over again. Yeah, there were some files missing in the end, but at least it didn´t bloat up my media folders. I was just looking for a simple source for some missing video snaps, that aren´t available at Emumovies. A media hub with title/platform search and the option to download only a video snap/cover/screenshot PER GAME, that´s it. I don´t want to scrape a whole platform or download media packs with EVERYTHING, since I got already 90% most of the time. Any ideas? There is a nice webtool to edit Youtube-Videos on the fly. Sadly with matermarks, but they will be gone, if you create an account (it´s free, as long you don´t edit more than 7 minutes, which should be more than enough for a gameplay snap): https://www.kapwing.com/ I´ve started creating some video snaps for more obscure Amstrad CPC titles, if there was a longplay available. Works fine so far. Rename your downloaded video file to match your rom-file and you´re set.

Thanks for your reply! Everything worked out just fine. I just used Wii-Backup-Manager for wbfs2iso, after that conversion worked as espected in Dolphin and everything seems to run just fine with my preconfigured hacks, patches, texture packs intact.

This is an old thread, but maybe someone will read this and I don´t want to start a new topic immediately: At least for GC/Wii-Games, RVZ seems to be the new, "best" format for saving disc space while preserving the original file structure. https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Save_Disk_Space_for_ISOs#RVZ_.28Modern_Dolphin_format.29_-_GC.2FWii I´ve started to compress all disc-based systems - where possible - to CHD now, which doesn´t apply to GC/Wii yet. Well, I´m going for my Dolphin-Games now and want to make things right: Problem is, every Wii-Game I have is in wbfs-format, I´m talking about roundabout 200 Games. So... unfortunately you can`t convert wbfs to rvz on the fly in dolphin as is supports iso-convertion only. I´m planning to use this tool to convert wbfs to iso... http://www.wbfstoiso.com/ ...then back to rvz in Dolphin. Again: I want do make this right - will this work or corrupt my games in the process? I mean, wbfs-Files are scrubbed, so I don´t know how it will affect the games in the crazy amount of convertion steps (first iso to wbfs, back from wbfs to iso, back from iso to rvz...lol). Did anyone take this journey already? Another question: I´ve configured every Wii-Game - where necessary - via dolphin wiki, so there are lots of custom configs in my setup. Will these apply to rvz-formatted games as well or do I have to reconfigure all over again?
