jipwack said Thanks so much, exactly what i was looking for. Will i be able to view that in bigbox? Yea it should work similarly enough.

Yea, there's a reason why you hear about No-Intro, Tosec and eXoDOS releases a lot. They just have the reputation behind them, and when something does slip through the cracks they're honest about it and fix it. I mean at the end of the day it's one passionate gamer trying to help other passionate gamers and certain websites get a reputation for bad rips. The site I got my bad rips from is notoriously bad with disc rips. I knew that but I never ran in to that brick wall. With proper rips they started to play all perfectly. We even had a user recently who used that same site for PS1 games and RetroArch more or less denied them. He got new rips from a different site and he was golden, it magically started working. You'll notice with No-Intro or Goodsets / Full sets that games will have a [!] attached to the file name. This generally means that the rip is good to go. In Good Sets you get a lot of extra junk though. With No-Intro sets you get just the good version of the games instead of 3 bad rips, 2 good rips, 5 hacked / trainer rips, etc etc.

jipwack said Please Playlists like iTunes kind of Playlists. No need to move systems etc. Favourites could still be favourites within each system. Separate playlists could enable us to have all Mario games across platforms, all street fighter games across platforms etc. etc. etc. would be very, very cool. Please, Please (Please). That specifically is the Series field. Fill out the series field, then sort by that.

On any games image page, click the plus. There is an entire list of acceptable images and 3D has it's own category.

My controller is working great so I can post my settings. https://i.imgur.com/yFAVG4z.png https://i.imgur.com/Iwz3whv.png

The closest you can get to that are CRC checks from a release group. They've pre-verified that games work and the best you can do is hope the CRC checks pass for every file and just assume / hope it work. When you come across a game you just fix it. I had to deal with that pretty majorly with my TurboGrafx CD set. Every single game needed to be replaced.

Cadet Stimpy said Cool! You guys sure are busy, to our delight. Always something new to look forward to, without a long wait, either. That is the beauty of our current set up.

No actually I've never heard of that one. I've tried several though.

Yea it's very tricky. We have a good relationship with EmuMovies though (at least from out stand point), and they provide a lot more than just Arcade video. This is just one instance where it's hard to tell. With the exception of someone stealing their product, they do have a lot of harder to find video, music and manuals. Not to mention they're set up with an API and they allow us access to it for free. So it's really a lot more than just Arcade video, if that was the case we would have offered it up already more than likely. It is certainly a tricky spot we've been put in. We simply don't have access to their download numbers and bandwidth per month, but we guess that's why there are restrictions. We would, in the end, love to offer it all for free and sure the other free sources would probably not mind another server to off set the load. However, as we grow we have no clue what our projected monthly bandwidth will be and we don't want to have to charge for that too if it were to get out of hand.

No, ideally 2GB+ of RAM. It's like using a Virtual Machine vs an emulator.

Well no ones ever requested Android, so I thought it would be a good surprise. :P

I thought it was, but yea it could be for users who want that.

Some games don't support controllers, but BlueStacks does and they should automatically if you set the settings that way.

Yep, this has been a planned tutorial for a while now. You jumped ahead, now there's no surprise! Edit: I am joking of course. It's awesome you posted this for others.

Drybonz said Jason Carr said Would love to hear peoples' thoughts on the matter. They would probably appreciate you picking up some of the bandwidth. No they'd rather be paid. DOS76 said In reality though does EmuMovies own the rights to those videos or are they all copyright infringements of the original right holders? Not that you should do anything underhanded to them just they wouldn't really have any legal recourse if you did. Yes and no...? On the grounds they own the video, no. On the grounds we're legit hurting their business, maybe.

That's why I think it's a setting or a path that's off potentially. Could be (like you already pointed out) pointing to a bin or iso instead of the cue sheet. It could also mean bad rip though too. It depends on if @hgarcia is loading the bin or iso outside of LB, the cue sheets what have you.

All of that stuff can be removed or added though with very little video editing and Metadata. It's a bit confusing as to what came first. When money is involved anythings possible.

Yes it is. :P

Realistically with the Tiered image system coming this will probably be low on the list, but in the event that there is no image even then, this could be useful.

Too many Androgynous characters. :P

Jason Carr said Good points @SentaiBrad. Screenshots are relatively easy to take and should be easy enough to get right. Box art may be different. I get them from time to time. :P

Yea Jason and I have been discussing this for a while actually. We would love to to provide video, but Bandwidth and ruining our relationship with EmuMovies are certainly two of the bigger concerns.

Yes we should reject extremely blurry images for any section, except for Front Box Art because that may be all there is, and in which case... what are we gonna do? Screenshots have no room to stand on. Even if you didn't want to resize them. Open RetroArch, turn on the Pixellate x5 shader, make the window x4 or x5 and start taking screenshots. 4:3 games (pretty much everything from the GameCube era and back, with the exception of late in that generation) should not be in widescreen anyways! These games are not 16:9. So screenshots have seriously no excuse. GIMP and Irfanview are free with Nearest Neighbor scaling. Let's not forget a lot of users have Photoshop too and that certainly has a Nearest Neighbor scaling. Forgetting that, taking screenshots is super super super super easy and you can do that with a clean crisp look at any 4:3 resolution, given your monitor is big enough.

That is a good idea, it could be changed from the Edit Platforms menu. Is there a ticket for it?

A chat and comments system will be coming. Jason is currently working on the ability to add and remove games. Remember he's only 1 person.
