Fan-fic designs of Jason and myself will be denied upon entry, but reviewed heavily...........

No problem, enjoy your games!

Adding them is easy, getting there is hard and every users experience level is wildly different. Since it requires some user intervetion (at least right now) an automatic solution is hard.

Why can't they be individual games?

Delete (En+En+En,Fr,De) and rename (Europe) to (E). See if that helps.

Yea, they keep it locked down very tight, and for good reason. Piracy is a big concern for PC Game Developers. Of course our intentions are pure, just a nice way to launch the games you legally purchased, but that doesn't work for a company like Microsoft. So it can be done, but it will be a very very hard thing to accomplish for LaunchBox to make it an effortless system. We could make it work and walk the user through doing the large portions we currently need them to do for it to work like Derek has said, but we operate in the ease of use market. Steam importing is already more than we really wanted to make users do and that is just them supplying their damn Steam Profile name.

We actually do have a Local Database that ships with LaunchBox currently, but it is based on TheGamesDB which we all know is incomplete. Their license allows us to be able to take and redistribute the information there, which is why we chose to do this. A torrent is a good idea actually. We have been debating on our own database and if we had that running we could distribute images through a torrent. Have the server be a base seeder with other users helping to fill in the gaps. Only problem is that most users wont use this, and not everyone has a complete collection. So then why give someone an extra potentially large file for a small cross section of games? So the optimal method would be a regular https connection, or even FTP connection authored through LaunchBox. We couldn't author a P2P connection through LaunchBox either because that would be a breach of trust. Microsoft did this with Windows 10 updates and a lot of users didn't like it and you had to opt out instead of opt in. They of course also didn't tell you it was there. If we did it, it would be opt in but also still shady to a lot of people. Authoring potentially hundreds of connections to thousands of people can be a big security hole The other thing to note is we do have more scrapers on the way. MobyGames and GiantBomb have A LOT of games. Between everything we'll have once these two are implemented Jason and I are certain that most games will be covered. Anything left uncovered will be very niche or from a lesser known and lesser sought system like a Fairchild F or something.

The GPU is the difference. I'm not saying it would have ran perfectly even with a GPU, but it shouldn't have been unplayable.

Yes, this has been an issue with several forum posts already. The common fix is to update to the beta release. There was a bug with this that should have gotten fixed with the beta. Some users still report issues, but for the most part the update fixes this issue.

As of right now there is no official way of doing this. It is on our list, but quite honestly it is looking very improbable. Microsoft does not want users to easily gain access to their WindowsApps folder. I've been trying to gain access to it so I can test manually importing these games in to LaunchBox so I can tell you it can at least manually be done, but I can't. They simply wont easily allow me in. If they can't let the user in, then it is going to be even harder for LaunchBox to read that folder to scan. I'm not saying it can not be done, but this is something that will take Jason and Myself a while to figure out.

The file name has no bearing on import, at least from Windows limits. NTFS File path limitations (which is the path from your drive letter all the way to your file) is roughly 255-260 characters including spaces. The file path you provided is 179 characters. I've imported No Intro and Good Sets several times in the past with absolutely no issue related to them. File naming at least due to length is not the culprit here.

It's still ebay regardless, always be cautious with them.

Yea it'll work for PS2, Gamecube / Wii games.

i figured it was a site, but once you get the PC you can buy any GPU you want as long as you have enough power hookups and enough Watts from your PSU.

Wow that is a really bad list lol. A GTX760 is 2 series behind, but the best on that list.

if you're planning on playing more intensive games your lack of GPU won't work. Not only are graphics from the CPU not nearly as powerful, but it will take away from your CPU doing regular CPU jobs. You can get a GTX900 series GPU and immensely increase performance. The other minor upgrade you could do as well is 16GB of RAM instead of 8GB. Grab 1600 or 1866 2 x 8GB sticks instead of 2 x 4GB sticks. Then if you need an upgrade later down the road you just repurchase the same kit of ram.

My PC is outdated in some respects, but upgraded in others. Motherboard is an MSI X58 Pro-E (2009) and a first gen i7 930 (2009). Otherwise I have a GTX 970 4GB, 12GB of DDR3 1866 RAM and 16.5TB total. Got a 27" IPS LG monitor, a 23" Spectre TV that I use primarily for my PC but it is there for all of our consoles for recording purposes.

You under estimate people Jason. ;) All it would be for me is another sub forum to subscribe to. :P

Yea, I am very happy we can fill the void for so many users now regardless of my feelings on software. I think I speak for Jason as well as myself that it warms us very much to have so many people loving our software.

Most emulators for N64 games should have options to change what accessory it is going to emulate for the bottom of the controller. In RA, load the core and a game, Press F1 from in game to open the Quick Menu and if it is not open it. Should be the first tab at the very top. Scroll down to Core Options and the option should be in there if it exists.

My MSI's documentation is also really good. Any upstanding motherboard manufacture will have pin layouts, dimm layouts, where your power draws, if there are any buttons what they do where and how. Yea SSD's are getting to be amazing now, the price difference might not be a big enough drop to go down from 250GB to 120GB, and it's not just programs that need to be installed, so having the extra space is probably a smarter idea if the price difference is not that high. Yea Derek, PCIe is super fast. I've seen HDD's hooked up through PCIe and they are blazing fast, SSD's should be more. I haven't checked if the price is coming down, but as far as I know you don't need a special drive, just the bracket which replaces the sata, and power like usual.

It's ok, it happens. The command line "-f CD32.uae -G -s quickstart=cd32,0". Open your Emulator list, double click WinUAE. Under Associated Platforms, double click in the middle column & copy the above command line in to it. This will set that command line for the entire system, not a single game but every game.

This is partly why we have our Tutorials, follow the link in my signature.

Yea, 7200RPM drives work just fine, but for your OS drive it would help speed things up immensely. I always keep my OS separate from the drive that I write video to, that my video is on and that my games are on. It just lets the OS have the full speed of your drive.

Which is totally fine, if it doesn't suit your needs then it doesn't suit your needs. SSD's are more expensive per GB technically speaking, and I don't know the situation on their prices where you are, but a 250-500GB SSD is about the 3-5TB range. It all fluctuates.
