xokia

I have an emulator that opens and then after it opens and is running I want to send a command that it understand. It a old VG5000 emulator. So I want to send(CLOQD) to the emulator and then hit enter on the keyboard afterwards

I was trying to get the opera core working in retroarch. All my files are zipped, and I was reading online that there is an ordering issue of the cue file and iso file. If opera tries to load the cue file it will fail if it load the iso file it passes. Sure enough if I load the iso manually it works. Some folks have resorted to renaming files to get it to work. I went and read the 4DO manual and then started playing with cmd line options and it seems to work for me. just added parameter option and now it seems to work. No file name swapping -LoadFile %romfile%

Interesting questions is why? They both are doing essentially the same thing just in a different way. I dont claim to know the inner workings of launchbox. But to me it just seems like a large database handler. i.e. the bigger your library gets and the more photos,images,ect you have the slower launchbox will probably get. Good thing the basic is free to try out. I really like the plex like feel of how launchbox handles things but ugg......the bigger my library gets the slower it is at doing anything. Maybe I should have just stuck to downloading box art only. Any way to back out images already downloaded?

With big libraries launchbox seems to be really slow at doing anything. I have the same EXACT library in hyperspin on a VM so not even a real machine. Intel 13900 using the iGPU. This runs MUCH faster then my dedicated gaming system I am setting up with Launchbox intel 14900k Using the iGPU and A770 GPU. Only thing I can think of is Launch box struggles with libraries. Doing nothing at all Launchbox is consuming 2.3GB of memory. Makes me think its trying to pull entire library list into memory. I don't know what the issue is here but I remember working on a similar very large database issue in my past with python. I think i went from shelve->lmdb(fast but lots of disk space)->and then rocksdb Or is there some other reason launchbox is slow?

I somehow got it to do what I wanted. I think I looked into the playlist thing but couldnt figure out hot to make that work correctly. Maybe I will revisit in the future. Seems weird you folks do not support this. When you "kinda" do. You have a selection for NES famicom. But then nothing for SNES famicom.

I have SNES and NES Super famicom. One is imports one is not. I do not want the libraries merged. However Launchbox is merging them its really frustrating. I want 2 distinct separate platforms one for SNES and one for Nintendo Super Famicom. How do I do this? I think its doing it this way because you have to scrape it as SNES. But then is merges things together. How to stop this? So basically I want a virtual platform.

Nevermind this is a durp moment........... Its downloading at18MB/s and "uploading" said data to the local NAS at similar speed

Why would launchbox need the same upload bandwidth as download? This has been going on for about an hour now. I am confused at to what launchbox needs to have upload at 10-15MB/s. I would expect the DL BW to be much higher then the upload. I have a 1Gig connection

That worked perfectly didnt even need a script. Notepad++ super easy.

nice! thank you I will check this out.

That might be an option. Where do I find the XML? A script to parse an XML is easy enough. "properly named" Is going to be dependent on the parser doing the parsing. It's not a real thing. In launchbox case the meta data scraper is very picky JMO. When launchbox runs its life cycle maybe the next tool wont like (800). To me the parser should be a bit smarter. Just a suggestion. Maybe AI in the future is how this stuff gets solved. Integrate AI into the parsing mechanism. I have a plex server which is similar and its not as picky. Its much easier to fix the couple titles it gets wrong. VS having to edit every title that isnt 100% to its standards. Maybe a flag like color the corner of the box art red to indicate predictive match. So a user knows to check it?

is there a way to make it be less picky? Maybe this is a feature request? i.e. an option to match on partial? Even prompting the user with what it found and asking to accept or not is better then doing nothing at all. Which then requires a ton of manual edits. I actually do not want to change the file names as I have everything working in hyperspin. I am trying out launchbox as a replacement but I am not ready to commit yet. There are a lot of things I like about launchbox. But if I am 100% honest its not living up to "easier".

All my Atari 800 games have "800 <game title>" the 800 is screwing up the metadata search. Is there a way to tell launchbox to ignore the 800 part of the name. The search in general is a bit picky.

Newb question: how do I get it to autoload the disc when it starts the emulator? I think maybe my problem is the files are extracted ISO (so .xbe file) that are zipped. I think I may need to convert all the files to IOS and then zip? Can someone confirm?

Think I figured this one out also x= normal(A) jump z=run(b)

seems like the answer is yes just have to choose that area. I have another very basic issue. Should be simple but so far I have struggled. Loaded NES roms, used mesen core under retroarch. My issues is mario doesn't jump the correct height. He does short jumps and its as if turbo is on but I have mapped it to a different button. I am currently using the keyboard This seems very basic what am I doing wrong? Can the controls be mapped per game?

Looking into launchbox. I spent the better part of 2 days getting Hyperspin up and working. Its clunky but it works and all the files run from my NAS. I have a 20TB drive setup with all the emulators,roms, and SW on a NAS drive. Its roughly 12.4TB full. The NAS handles all my backups of my drives.I'd like to leave everything on the NAS and just use a PC I have built up to run emulation. I was able to get hypersin to run completey from the NAS with minimal instalation on the host machine. I'm curious if I could accomplish the same thing with Launchbox. It looks like a better interface and less tedious to get working. But I noticed even if I left my roms on the NAS it wanted to import all the media and images to the host machine. Can it install onto the NAS?
