Oh, and the PS2 tutorial goes up in about 40 min.

Welcome @gradientpixel; If you are having issues, check out our Tutorial series on our YouTube channel with the link in my signature. As well I do suggest trying to learn RetroArch, which we have several tutorials about, but I personally think it is a superior emulator to a majority of the emulators out there. I

"There are 713 licensed titles in the NES library in the US and PAL regions, and there are 113 Unlicensed games in the NES library. This makes a grand total of 826 titles in the NES library." https://www.bing.com/search?q=how+many+nes+games+were+released&qs=AS&pq=how+many+nes+games&sk=AS2&sc=8-18&sp=3&cvid=F2DF5B5167944499A63A7BADABC24C63&FORM=QBRE

What system are you working on right now?

Wikipedia should tell you how many were released. There are some Euro exclusive games too, and depending on the console there can be a lot of them, so maybe don't delete all of them? Otherwise in windows open the folder of games and use the windows search function. For Japanese games (which I personally love and keep and find english translation patches for a lot depending on the console) type in "(J)" or "(Japanese)" or what ever it is labeled as it should filter out all of the games with that in its name. Then just Ctrl + A and delete them. Can do this for all of them, like "(Proto)". Keep the quotations as well, they're not for show. You don't watch the search to find a game with Proto in its name but it's not actually a prototype game so the quotations will only find names with what is between them.

This has been covered before on the forums, I will say that. Otherwise make you changes and make sure they're correct. Press F1 while everything is changed based on the default settings and on the first main tab go down and hit "save new config". Above that the name of the config will change to the new one. Open your config folder and copy the name of the file followed by .cfg. Open LB, go to Manage Emulators and edit RetroArch. At the top, second tab open Associated Platforms. You'll see a list of console names in the left column and a command in the middle column. -L means to load a specific core for each system, don't touch these unless you want to change the core you are using. Right after you'll put -C then "config\_______.cfg" For example the entire line should look like this: Sega CD -L "cores\genesis_plus_gx_libretro.dll" -c "config\genesis_plus_gx_libretro-2.cfg" This loads the core then the config file and everything that doesn't have -c will keep using your Default RA one. Just load up the new core, make your changes, "save new config" then repeat.

There are two versions of Night Trap, Sega CD and Sega CD 32x. I couldn't even get the 32X version to load up, I might be missing 32x BIOS or I might need to append the game with special boot parameters but yea, there are regular Sega CD versions. the CD still processes parts of the game, including audio and the 32x helps process some graphical instructions.

I know, I'm just messing with you. :P

Jaaaason, when did you make LaunchBox, SkyBox! It's sentient...

Hey my game is good! :( Triple H, and he's actually still around.

Make a backup first of the cfg's before deleting.

It did look as bad as you might be imagining. It got better near the end of the CD's life cycle but FMV video was heavily compressed. I loaded it up in RA, and tried a few different shaders. My go to is usually Pixellate, but what do you know, it pixelated the video more heavily. There honestly isn't too much you can do about it. They were super compressed video with an extremely low resolution. The best filter I can suggest is a normal x3-x5 filter. No xBR, no Bilinear, just straight upscaling. Even then it still wont look good.

Ok, I want to step in here before this goes too much farther. We need to be careful how this is worded and perceived (and I am sorry, I am not trying to say that this idea isn't absolutely awesome!) but we need to make sure that this isn't considered Gambling. As dumb as that sounds and no matter how stupid that may sound to some of you, there was a facebook group doing a sort of similar thing with retro games and it was deemed gambling and the runners / owners of the group got screwed, hard. They were being devious and malicious though and I believe no one here to be like that. I'm not saying this can't happen nor that you're trying to cheat anyone Cadet, I do believe you to be an upstanding person, but what we think and what someone else thinks with that sort of power is what matters. That said, if you want to sell it somewhere personally or talk with someone to sell it privately through Ebay or Paypal, Jason would be free and clear. For the record too, he hardly worries about this kind of stuff and didn't ask me to say anything, I am the one that worries about it. That aside, I am floored by what you guys are willing to do for us. It does mean the world to Jason and I. I'm broke and he wants this to be full time and stuff like this, gestures like this make our dreams that much closer to a reality and it is amazing the different kind of things you guys are willing to go through. Thank you.

Yea I was gonna suggest rice. I knew of someone who saved their phone doing this and my mother in law saved her badass Darth Vader watch after it got shorted by water, she put it in rice for like a week and it came out great (she over did it). Try to take the batter and put that in a bad of rice. If you have enough your laptop wont get hurt by going in just make sure the case isn't open or anything. The battery should be in like a day or two and the laptop might need 2 or 3 depending on size; if you even have that much rice. xD

Yea, only a few emulators use zip's. Majority don't.

How did they even start to bother looking? Someone must have reported the site.

I've been turned off of Xbox since about midway through 360. I also prefer my JRPG's (you know this!) and there are a ton of them on those 3 systems. Trophies are more sexy too.

Ah, this does make sense. I knew the quotes were important but I still only needed quotes for a relative path. A full path for me still works when I use the -C command.

Or you can follow our DOS tutorial to install a DOS game with files from a disc but not actually using the disc. ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy5dFLqlmp8

How about a Playstation Network ID huh!!!!! I have a PS3, Vita and PS4 :P SentaiBlue there.

No problem, and yep a simple " can break everything. They're not needed if you have a full path instead of a relative path but the relative paths are easier to deal with.

Well you're loading from Cue Sheets since you have PS1 working but there are a few places you can check. Make sure all of the cores are in your cores folder which you can download through RA, but you know that. Next check that the Associated Platform's under RA are correct; They're correct when the name of the console in the left column (in associated platforms) matches your console names in the left pane of LaunchBox. This is why we suggest users to keep the names to a default, the scrapers can even change them back to the defaults from time to time (Like GamesDB changing my MS-DOS games back to PC because they don't have a DOS section). So if in the left pane it says TurboGrafx CD under associated platforms it should say TurboGrafx CD which I believe is the default. Associated Platforms is set by default so the left pane is more than likely off. Next make sure it is loading the proper core in the middle column under Associated Platforms. Unlikely this got changed but it could. On the left pane click your TGXCD system (especially if you changed the name of it), Ctrl + A to highlight all of the games in this section and right click one then edit. This brings up the Bulk Edit feature, select the Emulator tab from the drop down and change it to RetroArch; Even if it brings the RA name up make sure to select it. This should be everything. I am tired and might have missed something however so I hope this works.

It should but you might need to bulk download metadata and images. Click your Arcade category in your left pane and Ctrl + A all of your games. Once highlighted go to Tools -> Download Images and Metadata. You can do this however you'd like but I personally suggest when you get to the "Would you like to update games with existing Metadata?" page to select the second option which is "Yes, but do not replace any existing fields."

Thank you, I do try really hard on these. A PS1 tutorial goes up later today (1-1-16 at 3PM PST.... holy crap it's 2016.)

No problem, glad I could help.
