Joe this is the post you needed to check out from Jonny0r. Make sure the games are installed into the Vita emulator. Then point launch box to the text files that are included in this download as your ROMs. Edit the script file that is in here with notepad using replace all for the ROM location to where you're keeping the ROMs. Then copy the script file into your launchbox data platforms folder.

Joe You're doing it wrong apparently lol. When I get home tonight from work if you're still having a problem let me know what's going on because I got this script to work perfectly and all my games showed up and I didn't have to rename anything that was the whole point of the script. All I had to do was put the script into notepad and then change The location to my ROMs using a replace all function

Sorry maybe I should have been more clear but there is a folder here in this download that has all of the file names for the Vita games by their PSID the XML file matches those PSIDs to the actual name of the game. So you will not need your ROMs anymore as long as they're installed into the Vita you import the files included in this download as you're ROMs removing any ROMs that you may have already installed for your Vita these zero kilobyte files take up no space so you don't have to have your ROMs as well as your Vita installs you just need your Vita installs and these files therefore you'll save a lot of space

Copy the ROMs to where you will be storing them then Put the xml file into notepad ++, notepad or something similar. Choose find:<ApplicationPath> and in replace put<ApplicationPath>(your path to roms)\ then choose to replace all then just copy this into your launch box data folder. Import the ROMs included in place of the ones that you were using, only importing the ones that you have, if you have the full set then you can import them all. That ought to do it.

Jonny0r thankyou so much you are the man. You just saved me 700+gb of space cause i have all the games installed on Vita3k but was using the original zips as roms until i figured out a better way. You are the freakin man !!! Thankyou times 1010 !!!

Yes, awesome, it is back up for me as well.

Yes, it has been down as far as I can tell since about 4:00AM Est. this morning for me as well nd have been unable to update the metadata on my latest imports, download media or sync my collection. because of it 😞 It would be great to get an update as to when we might be able to expect it to be back up if possible.

Yup, she's still down 😭

Hey, so I tried your latest update, but. clicking update didn't do anything. No error this time, but nothing at all. Could it be Because my collection is continuing?

So I copied all of the Json files from my meta folder into the descriptions folder and I get the error you see below. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. App: LaunchBox Version: 13.11-beta-1 Theme: Neon Deluxe Arcade LB Type: System.NullReferenceException Site: Void btn_update_Click(System.Object, System.EventArgs) Source: TeknoparrotSimpleImport at TeknoparrotSimpleImport.Form1.btn_update_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, WM msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) Recent Log: 5:55:12 PM Exception

Okay, I believe that will make it work This is the error I got this time, but it was an error because the descriptions folder from my RetroArcade 2 TeknoParrot Emu didn't have one of the games that I have imported into my launch box emu which is a fully updated fleshed out install of TeknoParrot so I have many games that are not included in the RetroArcade Package. So obviously there would be no despription File for those games. So if you have a Description folder with all the current TeknoParrot Games I would include that as part of your tool package. Anyways I will fiddle around some more and make the needed json files for the missing games and see where that goes. Could not find file 'K:\TeknoParrot\Descriptions\abcELF2.json'.

Hi again, bit of an update. I copied over my descriptions folder from my Coin Ops Retro Arcade 2 tekno parrot folder into my TeknoParrot launch box emulator folder. I got this. So now I am going to fully replace my Tekno Parrot Emu folder in Launch Box with the RetroArcade 2 TeknoParrot Emu folder and see if that works and I'll report back Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello I'm very interested in this as well. I tried it out and I got the same error as Nixx. There is no Descriptions Folder in my TeknoParrot Root.

Hello, Happy New Year !! Soooo any update on this filter feature request. It is needed so badly and this post is a year old now. I hate having to skip thru all the raw files, isos and everything else to get to the next game. Very ugly selection interface. I get it that there are workarounds but it's not convenient to move large amounts of files around on my Nvidia shield. All the file management programs I've used so far are just not as functional as on a PC. Also, do you think we can get launchbox 9n Android to not have to reboot every time we turn on our mouse. A complete database re-check seems so unnecessary everytime Launchbox decides it wants to reboot for this and other random reasons 🤦
