[Adding Chiaki to Launchbox to play PS4 and PS5 games]

I wish there was a way to launch specific games like with my android setup.

Chiaki is just a way into the PS4 library 

[Change Default Rom Path]

Unfortunately this method won't work well for game files in "subfolders"

[Changing ROMs/games folder locations]

This is NOT for a simple drive letter change (For just the drive letter I'll just use the disk management method)

This is NOT meant for ROMS contained in a single folder (For this I'll just use the right click option)

This is a fix primarily for game paths with subfolders:

Notepad ++ is the best method for editing "new game paths" for an entire collection of games with a click of a button:

For example changing the "drive letter" or even new folders all together with "new paths"

It needs to done for each system/platform "separately" though

Find your system xml file in Data\Platforms (e.g. 3DS.xml)

In the platform xml, each game path will start with <ApplicationPath>

Press CTRL+F for find options, switch to the Replace tab; tab will do all the work for you

In the Find what: field enter the current path (e.g. "..\GAMES\3DS")

Let's say you moved all your roms to a different folder or drive location

In the Replace with: field enter the new path

ex. New path: (D:\NEWPATH\3DS)

ex. New drive: (E:\NEWDRIVE\3DS)

Click Replace All and done! save; exit launchbox and relaunch app.  

You should be able to play every single rom/game in your platform now; rinse and repeat as needed for all other platforms

 

[Game List Exporter - simple text file generator]

This doesn't work for me

But this one works fine

CreateGameList (Create Game List Plugin) 1.0.0

[Background music delay on startup (BigBox)]

I found a workaround that seems to work well enough

I use an audio editor to split my original background music into two segments.

The first segment starts at 0:00 and gets converted to startup.wav and set as a startup audio file

The second segment starts at the "end time" of the first segment.  Silence must be created before the audio starts. This is my background.mp3 music file

This way a mostly seamless audio can be created but I will add that the timing between the end of the startup audio and the beginning of the background audio doesn't always match up with your audio splitting time.  I had to randomly create silence in my second segment to find a time that created seamlessness

Very annoying fix, but it does remove that abhorrent delay...

[Slipstream Theme]

Any way for video to be stretched into the border?  So my platform image doesn't show; since the video plays on top of the image file

Only solution I've found is to change the resolution of my vids to match the border size
