Dear Launchbox Community! First off, warm greetings from Germany. I have a question for you that requires you to be a little “open-minded,” because I’m looking for a solution for myself that might not actually involve Launchbox after all. Nevertheless, I do have a Launchbox license and would like to learn how to use it. So far, I’ve “unpacked” LB every now and then and played around with it - but for various reasons, I keep coming back to Retrobat (maybe also because it was simply the first frontend I used on Windows, and Launchbox’s philosophy is a bit different in some ways). My goal: To bring together as many arcade systems as possible, organized by hardware. I have very little interest in home consoles and the like. So, for example, all titles released on Cave hardware, well-known systems like CPS-1 through 3, Sega’s Model series… and ultimately even modern machines like SEGA Alls and Nu, etc. There’s a modification for Retrobat by Team Pixel Nostalgia that gives you access to significantly more systems (by adding custom CFGs) - and thus also the rarer system logos, etc. But here, too, I’m once again at the mercy of the Pixel Nostalgia team. My question: How flexible is Launchbox when it comes to arcade gaming? I get the feeling that the Launchbox community is better organized, especially when it comes to media collections? And generally speaking: Is there a Launchbox user here who might have already set something up like this? I’m wondering how to organize things beyond the standard systems. As I mentioned, I could imagine sticking pretty strictly to hardware (my main reference for this is the System16 website). Capcom and the like are still pretty straightforward… but then there are the more exotic and modern systems that can only be handled through Teknoparrot (I have the license), for example, etc. And what I’m really struggling with is maintaining consistency in the metadata and media.
