Open your options menu and check the Beta box under the Updates menu. Restart LaunchBox and it will ask you to update.

It doesn't matter where they are located because LaunchBox looks at your Steam library through the API, never once scanning your computer. Double check to see if any of your steam games are there to double check against duplicates? Make your steam profile private then public again? Double check to make sure your searching the proper username? Just the first few things I can think of.

Edit the emulator and check the box to "extract rom archives before running". Make sure to not have this checked for MAME and some emulators don't need them decompressed.

Of course, no problem. If you have more questions feel free to ask!

You need to unecm that, or rather get a new rip. I think I know where you got it and they offer notoriously bad rips of games for Disc based systems. I made a PS1 Tutorial and Dealt with the BIOS files. The mednafen info file has the names of the BIOS that you need, but the one that you can rename I don't think is Japanese. Regardless, a 1001 BIOS can be renamed to the 5001 BIOS and be just fine, they just all need to match the proper naming. I would venture a guess that the rip is potentially bad on all of them, especially anything you get that is ecm'ed.

Strange, I just loaded a Japanese game successfully. Try again to maybe try and find a RetroArch pack of BIOS? You can find the first and third easy, the second one if I recall can be renamed. Otherwise, what game is it? Are you using the Mednafen PS1 core? Is it a Japanese game with audio files? Is it a cue and iso combination or cue and bin?

Nah, no need to apologize. My name is all over the place so I can see why you had thought that.

No I didn't. I don't know who did. Also for your Network, 1GBPS is a bit misleading and it's why I dislike the "bps" measuring.. 1GBPS ≈ 1000MBPS which ≈ 125MB/s.

Beta 5 is the latest. There may be one today.

For just Rejected, no. You can of course see an entire list but it's not filtered. Good suggestion though. If you want to put that in a ticket for the LBGDB BitBucket then go for it.

Well App + Games. You might be good, just keep an eye out for performance. It might be a 1GBPS connection but the amount of machines, your internet and what you're doing on the network all play a factor in to it. You have several options though.

You could put it on a large USB 3.0 Thumb Drive (a 64GB or 128GB) or a USB 3 external Hard Drive. You can even stream one PC to another if you'd prefer.

Yes, it's portable. You can copy your XML to any LaunchBox install and it will work. If you bring over your Images, Video, Manual and Music folders those will carry over as well. The LaunchBox XML holds all settings, game information and media attachments.

Yes you can. LaunchBox is fully portable, so long as the drive the games are located on doesn't change you are good to go. Chances are, it would be best to put LaunchBox on each individual PC to access the NAS, but what you are saying may work too. As long as the LaunchBox XML is still pointing towards the correct location for each PC. Even if the location the roms are in is changing you can use Notepad++ to Find and Replace All when it comes to the path. I replaced I:\wbfs yesterday with J:\wbfs in the LaunchBox XML because my Wii and Gamecube external changed drive letters and I couldn't change the drive letter back to the right letter in Windows Disk Management.

ps4isthefuture said Is it just me or when you see the collection are your eyes are drawn to the Wisdom Tree games, lol. Probably why they made their carts that funky baby blue. They probably went for the cheapest plastic they could get and it probably just so happened to be extremely eye catching. It does work though, you notice them very fast.

As far as I know we haven't contacted any of them because we tried to before, and got no where. It was absolutely fruitless. We even asked people to use the False Positive reporting method and got no where. Either it wasn't enough or they didn't care.

Ok I was a bit wrong, sorry about that. MAME should work with no default command line parameters, but when you add the emulator it should automatically populate with "-skip_gameinfo -nowindow" for MAME, no quotes.

Nope, we don't link to Roms or BIOS on the forums.

Grab No Intro sets not Good Sets, it will reduce the number of rom's.

I didn't know you could edit those info files, awesome.

Yea I get this as well, and also LaunchBox will periodically start up in a small window in the top left corner. I think Jason and I had discussed this at one point and came to the conclusion that it's a Windows bug, but we could never exactly figure it out. I also think that both symptoms have tickets on BitBucket as well. I will pass this on to Jason though to see if he has any more info.

I assume LaunchBox is pointing towards the exe or shortcut. Is it starting and closing or not opening at all? Check the Shortcut and see if they put in any command line variables that LaunchBox isn't passing on to the program if LaunchBox is pointed at the exe.

No you don't put anything there. The commands that are on the Associated Platforms page are the commands you need to keep and make sure are correct. This is kind of the same box as those, except this passes the commands to the entire emulator, which again we don't need for RetroArch. Edit: Oh right MAME. You don't need to put commands there unless you don't want to. There are commands you can pass through there if you would like, but you shouldn't have to if I recall.

How did I know you'd like this. :P Thanks Amy.

It's the same no matter what core you use: -L "cores\mame.dll" That command does include the quotes. Just look at the other default commands in the Associated Platforms list and copy the same format, but plug in the core you need and in this case should be mame.dll.
