Well I didn't have a legit W8 (neither did my Wife) and they gave us both 10, so it's not really based on anything...

So the full command line is -L "cores eicast_libretro.dll" for anyone curious. Make sure in the side bar it does say Sega Dreamcast and the associated platform is Sega Dreamcast (yes they need to match). You do need Dreamcast BIOS in your system folder. In the system folder create another folder labeled DC, in there goes it's BIOS files. There are 2 of them and they are common. Even then, don't expect it to work great, compatibility is very low.

GatoSoft said Wow! We'll have videos in the sidebar! YAY! :D It's a feature I've been waiting for a long time. ^_^ I hope you soon can add YouTube support, so I could free up lots of gigabytes in videos and add even more videos to my games. :D Well that was a hypothetical. There is no promise that we can get it in, let alone it working.

You are more than welcome to add that to the Bitbucket by clicking the feedback tab at the top Kmoney! That does sound like an awesome feature. Kodi has something similar to this. Glad you're enjoying Premium.

Have you updated to the latest version of LB?

I don't see why not.

Select a system on the left, Ctrl + A, Tools -> Download Metadata and Images. That's not working?

You currently have to set that up manually. There really is no easy way to get that done automatically.

Jason Carr said But there *are* download limits for free members. It's relatively high since free members can't download videos; I think it's around 1 GB per day. I downloaded 100 manuals in one update before and it's never triggered for me.

Should be, but you'll really need to check with them or read their FAQ's if they've got em. I honestly do not know. To them we're considered a FrontEnd.

No GB per hour or day limit. Just can't have certain resources if you don't pay for it.

I used Belarc to get my W10 key after the upgrade. They say it doesn't matter anymore, but the second I need it I can't recover it. :P

For PS2, it shouldn't matter too much what file you use, the .cue sheets aren't required by the Emulator, some games may require a cue sheet but that is different. So if it is an iso, bin or mdf it's fine. When it comes to memory cards, most people use Save States, so I did kind of gloss over it. On the real system, Memory Cards can need formatting. On the emulator in order to format it load up a game and try and make a save. It should ask you to format the card. I really only brought it up for legacy, but if you look at one of the check marks in the memory card menu, "Auto-eject memory cards when loading save states" makes using memory cards less of a good idea. So if you are using save states, using memory card might also be a bad idea.

Sorry, I should have pointed it out but right below the Application Path is Application command-line parameters. Also, you can't load a mapper file directly but you can load a custom conf file. The mapper to be used can be specified in the config file, right? I don't quite remember but I do vaguely remember seeing that option in there. If so, load a custom conf file pointing to the custom mapper file. It's dumb but if its there it should work.

Advanced System Care has a lot of these types of programs in there, just their own versions. I use some alternatives too, I use ComicRack for cbr comics, Calibre for epubs, AngelVox for AudioBooks and Métamorphose for file renaming. http://file-folder-ren.sourceforge.net/ http://comicrack.cyolito.com/ http://calibre-ebook.com/ http://download.cnet.com/Angel-s-Vox/3000-2139_4-75001584.html

No, generating XML files yourself may not even work as intended or break some things. It is easy to do simple things like change the path to roms or to change the name of a system like "PS1" to " Sony Playstation", but generating it completely outside of LB might not work as well as people might think.

Where is it that it is trying to write the file? If it is in your documents folder or on your C drive it may not like that you are trying to write there for some reason. On the first tab labeled "General" at the bottom left is a Save Bindings button. Click that and try to save it in a different location, but preferably your ini location.

So it is worth noting that it will be named Arcade and not MAME, so if you are trying to import under MAME being the name, it could give you some issues. You're also getting this screen when importing right?: https://i.imgur.com/BhutsHI.png If not, then it is not triggering for Arcade Import. If you are do keep in mind that 1 game might have 2 or 20 files associated with it and you don't need all of them. You'd just need the one for the region you want to play or the latest revision. However, if you want them all (or most) to import select "Import All Clones". I don't know what this will do or how many duplicates you might have though... so... The importer doesn't make it quite clear, but my assumption would be if you prefer N. America games it will use that version for all games that support it, but what if you don't have a game that even has a N. American version? I assume it will take the latest revision to any game if it doesn't have a NA file. Jason will have to clarify that.

Oh, I am very sorry. I misread the problem, I had just woken up. What system are you trying to get to show up? What emulator?

With Ninite they are all silent installs, meaning you don't touch anything. So the only program there that I don't use through Ninite is Steam because I don't want that in my C directory.

This is cool, but does it integrate where the Search bar goes? That would be my only question. I use W10, I hit start and just start typing. :P So I love this idea as well, I use a lot of stuff. When reinstalling fresh on a new machine I love to use https://ninite.com/ . It makes everything go so much faster. I also use FileHippo File Manager to help keep things updated including the codec pack that I suggest to people on the forums. It doesn't update everything, just stuff it has in its own repository, but for me it's actually quite a lot of stuff. The codec pack for the record (free): http://www.codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_standard.htm http://www.filehippo.com/download_app_manager I use a program called Greenshot to take easy screenshots and it auto uploads them to imgur for me (you can download it through Ninite actually, it is how I found it). I use a program called Foxit (again I think in Ninite ironically) for a PDF reader and it is vastly superior. I actually use Foxit Phantom which is their tool for also creating PDF's. Another program I love is IOBit Advanced System Care http://www.iobit.com/en/advancedsystemcarefree.php So it's actually only got a free section, and some features are behind the pro license, but I think it is very much well worth it. https://i.imgur.com/yFo7vhn.png This is the scan I have it run ever other day. Every once in a while (especially on first scan) I will tell it to do a System Optimization, Security Defense and Vulnerability Fix Scan. The main draw for me though is it's Tool Box. https://i.imgur.com/8JDFOFe.png I use IOBit Uninstaller constantly. It uninstalls things better than the built in uninstaller does as it also scans and removes left over files from the system. Though, do not delete Steam games this way. If you have it scan and delete the remaining stuff, It will delete your entire Steam library as it thinks the other games are left over files. xD I've had that happen once... I use the other programs in the Toolbox consistently too, like Driver Booster. Really handy to keep drivers up-to-date.

I personally haven't done this with Mapper files because.... DOS games... but I have appended command line arguments to singular games in the past. https://i.imgur.com/Rmla4fq.png If you know the mapper command line load argument use the command (for example) -m then the path to the mapper file. So for me, assuming the command would be -m (which I have no clue if it is), the full path would be something like -m E:\LaunchBox\5.2\DOSBox\mapper\testfile.mapper (I also don't know what the mapper file extension is... whoops. xD) Use a full path instead of a relative path because a relative path assumes some information, like if the mapper is with the root folder which in this case is the game. So you can use a relative path if you keep the mapper files in the game folders they belong to, that would look like something like -m "testfile.mapper" I don't use the mapper files, but assuming you can load them through the command line this should work.

Usually a major point of failure is BIOS, but if you are playing NES and not Famicom Diskk System then... there are no BIOS. Personally I use the Nestopia core in RA and have no problems. https://i.imgur.com/Vvi03uW.png All my Roms are .nes roms in a giant list. If you have been changing emulators you need to make sure all the roms are loading the correct emulator. Ctrl + A, right click and edit your NES games. Choose emulator and choose RetroArch. If you do want to try the Nestopia core, open RA (right click a game and select open RA), go to the online updater, core updater and select NES / Famicom (Nestopia). Wait for it to finish download and unpacking its self. So we made sure the core has the right command under Associated platforms, made sure all the roms have RA selected for the games, and made sure the core was downloaded. What is the game you are trying to play that keeps crashing? All of them? Edit: Oh I didn't see your edit...

We literally just responded to this in another thread, and had the same conversation in two others. https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/troubleshooting/duplicate-games-and-video-snap-location#p9387

Always delete the games first. I almost never even remove systems unless im also deleting the emulator.
