If you use the library system in RetroArch, you select the game which opens another menu, you select run which then asks you what Core to use. If you didn't have both cores downloaded it might pick the only one you had available? Otherwise if you don't use that Library feature you load the core then the game or you select the game and RA gives you a list of cores based on the file extension you chose and you choose the core that you want. I am unsure where it is automatically picking cores for you.

Withouth LaunchBox, in RetroArch you load the core first or use the option to have RA display a list of cores based on the game you chose.

Thank you very much Cid.

Not per platform no. As for metadata these are the two most common sources: http://thetvdb.com/ https://www.themoviedb.org/

Yes, we don't scrape for Movies or TV Shows so Gradient must have. And no problem, glad I could help.

Jason Carr said SentaiBrad said I wouldn't call them morons in the slightest sense, they're smarter than Jason and I combined easily. There could be any number of reasons they removed it though. Speak for yourself. :P No, im confident in what I said. ;)

I've kept GFE updated but I disabled and stop the processes I don't need like the Streaming service.

We're suggesting SSD for the OS, and another SSD for slow loading games like a heavily modded Oblivion, Fallout 4 etc and a regular HDD for just storage. My philosophy is to keep games off of of the OS drive, hence the two SSD's. Derek's suggestion is that since its an SSD, it might not matter and the games may run better anyways. We're both in agreeance that SSD for the OS all the way and the second drive you choose is subjective. SSD, HDD or SSHD.

I actually just posted about our Galaxy S4 in the DSR Nvidia thread, that thing was great, except it was hotter than it should have been sometimes and then the screen just stopped working one day. Oh, and I forgot to mention in the other thread that the battery expanded to twice its size and popped out the screen. xD I really do legitimately hear nothing but good from their SSD's and TV's though.

Even when I had my old ass GTX 260 and 460 for far too long I honestly didn't run in to any problems, and my GTX 970 now is running just fine. The weird VRAM allocation is... puzzling, but its running flawlessly. The game streaming and tablets are just them trying something else, but It has nothing to really do with their GPU's. Other companies do stuff like that all the time. With the drivers, I've seen them break from both companies, but I also don't use half of their features. I record using other software, I don't stream this PC to another PC, and I have the audio portion of the driver install (not the 3D) but I don't even use the audio through my HDMI, I have a 7.1 Logitech Headset. So maybe I just haven't done the right combination of stuff to make it fail on me. All I know is the card champs through all of the games I put in its way. My Wifes AMD GPU (which we didn't choose) failed doing basic things when we first got it and had to force it to just be normal. :P I don't like AMD and I still say the people there are way smarter than me just like Nvidia. Sometimes it doesn't work out and us, the consumer, get fucked. I hate it too. Our Samsung Galaxy S4 just straight up stopped working one day, the screen just stopped responding... so I've had that kind of crap happen to me as well, I think we all have. So you're in the right place for us to understand your frustration.

Yea, ever product I've gotten from them was cheap and failed, I'm not gonna bother with them for an SSD. I think im gonna go SanDisk or Samsung for my first SSD.

Oh no avoid WD Green Drives. Blue, Red or Black only and I think Blue are being discontinued? Though the new Green drives are supposed to be "better". Caviar Green might be the new one or the alternate one? Just straight "Green" is their power saving model that wasn't supposed to be all that good. I am looking at this drive for my PS4 with the Nyko adapter to allow for 3.5" drives. http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Caviar-Green-Desktop/dp/B004RORMF6/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1454315153&sr=1-2&keywords=western+digital+3tb

Yea she has an AMD card in her PC right now, and it gives us nothing but trouble every step of the way. Their CPU's aren't too bad, they're still behind Intel in some respects, but ever since they bought ATI their GPU's have been really bad. They had to play serious catch up with Intel but I am more than happy to be the price difference. My first gen i7 is really starting to show its age now, but it's a champ! It is still going. Same thing with Western Digital. I started getting Seagate drives, and they all started failing except for my 500GB OS Drive, that has had so many partitions written and destroyed on it, with countless of OS installs that I am honestly surprised it still functions. A Seagate drive would have died from that kind of abuse years ago, and I've had this drive for 8 years... I really need to replace the damn thing.

As long as that's an Nvidia card that is a good compact. ;) :P

You'd be surprised at what you can mod. If you're already willing to hook things up from outside the case you can just get brackets, hot glue and a decent case, even if you have a lot of extra space. Make your own screw holes. ;)

I wouldn't call them morons in the slightest sense, they're smarter than Jason and I combined easily. There could be any number of reasons they removed it though.

No I haven't used these overlays yet, but I kind of want to, they're really cool and people have made some awesome custom ones. However it is a risk sometimes running nightlies but their release cycle can take up to a year sometimes so keeping up with the nightlies and following the steps in our Updating RetroArch video is fairly simple.

Is it feasible to get a Micro ATX case and move it in to there? At least with that it's still really small and you might be able to fit an Micro ATX style GPU inside.

All 4 of those copies would still be smaller or around the same size as Vanilla Fallout 4, it just depends on the mods you're playing with. I would still feel comfortable putting those 4 copies, a modded F3, New Vegas, F4 and Skyrim on a 250GB. Like I said it depends on the amount and type of mods, but all of that could easily fit. What you're looking at essentially is Price Per GB, the 1TB's aren't too terribly cost effective yet and you want to go with a decent company. Intel, Samsung, SanDisk, Crucial. Stay away from PNY, but the first 4 are good brands and you might pay a little more for them, but they are certainly worth it.

I'll never be able to replace my 16TB total in Hard Drives with SSD's. Well, maybe in another 5-10 years.

Yes, use the Add button in the bottom right corner of LaunchBox. Gradient, it depends on what you are launching. Launching the Windows 10 Netflix app is already in fullscreen, use a program like DisplayFusion to have it always load on which ever screen you want and that's a solution. Though this is just an alternate solution. How did you add the link? Creating an HTML link shortcut and launch that? If so, find your browsers command line parameters, edit the "Game", or in this case the Netflix link, and on the first tab is command line parameters. Knowing the command line argument should launch it in fullscreen.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Yea, an SSD as the OS then a game installed on the same Drive with an OS may not make much of a difference. On a regular HDD, this can make a world of difference. So maybe keeping the OS isolated on it's own drive is just a carry over and it probably means nothing on an SSD. I would still personally say keep your OS separate regardless of Hard Drive type, but if you want to save some money then yea it might not make much of a difference if any. Or you could go full hog and get a PCIe SSD drive. ;) Now those are expensive, but holy crap are they fast. Put Fallout 4 on that thing. Load times? What load times.

No, I am all for saving money, I also didn't know we were disagreeing on anything. Load times in Fallout 4, especially with mods is literally 30 seconds to a min, if not longer. On an SSD they are under 10-20 seconds. Over the course of an hour or two with dozens of load points we're talking a lot of time. The SSD on an OS drive can save a lot of time not just in loading the OS for the first time but all of the programs loaded on that and the OS runs more efficient. For games that aren't modded to hell and back or aren't loading in 2k and 4k textures a ton a regular Hard Drive is totally doable. After playing games with hideous load times though a 250GB SSD at roughly $100 is a really good investment. SSHD on the other hand provides slight speed increases with the added benefit of storage. However they're slightly more expensive than HDD's, not nearly as expensive as SSD's per GB but don't provide the speed an SSD can. Sometimes though the price difference from a 3TB HDD and a 3TB SSHD may not be all that much, especially on a sale. We're totally in agreeance here Derek, but I know exactly what Tatts4life is talking about, some of these games can get really bad on loading and when there are a lot of loading spots it saves serious time.

Yea, SSHD's are a good in-between, but they're still not the full speed of an SSD, and the speeds they do reach it will take time for the drive to learn, so do keep that in mind. If load times are still really bad for the more intensive games then getting a 3rd drive, a 2nd SSD, could still be a good idea down the line and loading only the intensive games on that.
