  1. I configured everything and cloned it to a SFF PC with an old 2GB AMD card that CAN do 1080p and seems to run Gamecube and Wii games pretty well through dolphin on a 60inch 4k TV. I am using a new Xbox controller wirelessly. Don't notice lag in the games. However, when running titles through retroarch, specifically SMW on SNES..... it seems it isn't precise enough to play games like mario or anything...almost as if it's either a latency issue with my controller or low FPS? I don't know how to tell which. Can anyone direct me some settings to check? I know my GPU isn't great, but it can definitely run up through WII just fine. I messed with video drivers, and tried vulkan, DX9, etc...and it just...isn't great. Thanks!
  2. Any way to do it for Dosbox games?
  3. The games folder. I moved my install from one PC to another but have different drive structure. I want to move the games to an external drive on the new PC without rescanning. Just update the paths to the roms.
  4. How can I move this to a new drive? It's annoying.
  5. I have what I can a "base" Launchbox install, and it's about 3TB in size. I recently acquired an old slim i7 PC with two internal 256SSDs. I don't want to invest any money in this, and plan on just using it in a room as a small media center/lauchbox PC. I want to use my launchbox install, since it's mostly configured how I like it. I just need to copy part of it to the one drive, and part of it to the other drive on the new PC. I will be splitting off the games folder to (and not copying over ALL games) I assume I can rescan and remove missing roms easily, but how to say that certain roms are in another folder now so Launchbox doesn't need to rescan and redownload things? thanks
  6. Basically, the auto populate playlist should be title contains baseball OR notes contains baseball not AND..........
  7. I am trying to make a playlist of baseball games. I have title contains baseball. However, I want to also check if genre contains baseball and notes contain baseball. But I don't want it to reduce the number of games if I add those filters to auto populate and, for example, the genre field isn't baseball for them. Currently it appears as though the auto populate must satisfy ALL conditions, rather than just look for additional games. Is there a way to change this?
  8. I have about 60 - 70 games which are not in the games DB but I have filled out a lot of information for them locally. Is there any possible way to automate Games DB submissions? Even to a degree? It is so incredibly time consuming to do it manually.
  9. Looking for clear logo variants to represent some special platforms I have made. SNES Platforms for Brazil/AUS, Europe, Pirated Games, Hacks, and Translations. Right now I just use some gorgeous base logos with some text I put on them. I'm not very creative... Anyone knows of any cool ones that closely represent what I am looking for?
  10. I watched the video Jason did on plugin dev and it helped me do what I needed. I didn't understand it quite right , I can write TSQL but OOP is so much different. I ended up making something simple to test, and I will go from there. Thank you. using System.Windows.Forms; using Unbroken.LaunchBox.Plugins.Data; using System.Linq; using System.Diagnostics; namespace LaunchboxPlugins { public class DemoGameMenuItemPlugin : Unbroken.LaunchBox.Plugins.IGameMenuItemPlugin { public bool SupportsMultipleGames { get { return true; } } public string Caption { get { return "Search For Rom"; } } public System.Drawing.Image IconImage { get { return Properties.Resources.pirate_skull; } } public bool ShowInLaunchBox { get { return true; } } public bool ShowInBigBox { get { return false; } } public bool GetIsValidForGame(IGame selectedGame) { return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(selectedGame.Version); } public bool GetIsValidForGames(IGame[] selectedGames) { return false; } public void OnSelected(IGame selectedGame) { System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo { FileName = "https://www.google.com/search?q=rom+" + selectedGame.Title, UseShellExecute = true }); } public void OnSelected(IGame[] selectedGames) { } } }
  11. This is my code. I have no idea what I am doing. using System.Drawing; using Unbroken.LaunchBox.Plugins; namespace LaunchboxPlugin { class ForumOpener : Unbroken.LaunchBox.Plugins.ISystemMenuItemPlugin { string ISystemMenuItemPlugin.Caption => "Launch LaunchboxForums"; Image ISystemMenuItemPlugin.IconImage => Image.FromFile("pirate.ico"); bool ISystemMenuItemPlugin.ShowInLaunchBox => true; bool ISystemMenuItemPlugin.ShowInBigBox => true; bool ISystemMenuItemPlugin.AllowInBigBoxWhenLocked => true; void ISystemMenuItemPlugin.OnSelected() { System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("https://forums.launchbox-app.com/"); } }
  12. Would you be willing to save a friend some time and release the code on to git?
  13. They are a bit of overkill. Only useful if you're building romsets from a list or something. For practical purposes, they are worthless as you'll have non-working games, trashy hacks, and duplicates of a lot of games. However, some revisions you'll find are actually different a bit, certain things ARE changed, but a lot of the time, its only bug fixes. Sometimes it matters though, there are a few things removed from certain games... but.,. yeah.
  14. I just made new Platforms - split SNES by Brazil/AUS, Famicom, Europe, and Pirate. Left everything else in US. Worked out well, and better .... because it's easier to have alts and check what I want. I force dupes to get the alt and rev's
  15. Is there any way to add new games from Launchbox itself, to the DB? Is there any API I can use? I saw an old plugin that seemed to be broken and leverage the web interface, although I didn't peek at the code because it didn't seem like a route I wanted to take. I have about 60 Switch games missing from the library, and a small amount of Sonic and Mario hacks. It's a little too time consuming to manually add all of them, but eventually I guess I'll need to if there is no other option. Also - why can't you search for a game or run any advanced searches on the database? Is it a resource issue or...? I might be willing to host a mirrored read only copy for searches, etc, depending on the typically transaction/second count. I'm new, but I've looked around a bit and haven't seen anything.
  16. +1 for a rewrite. Why is there a need to rely on a web browser at all? Is there no API for the games DB?
  17. Looks like this is because games are found as dupes, but have different file names. Is it possible to either note that it is found as a dupe, OR, when writing to log, say that the game is a dupe with the filename and the name of the dupe?
  18. This 32x game specifically. It's a zipped BIN file. 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples (1994).zip (I renamed it a few times, trying to get it to import.) I have a list of about 50 throughout all my systems it finds, but never imports. WARNING: IMPORT PROCESS: Returned game is NULL. is in the debug log.
