Our Downloads section has 2 Overlay packs if I recall, but I don't know where their from. One of the earliest things uploaded.

I don't use too many engine ports, though I want to when their available.

Missing Media after updating with downloading metadata and media
SentaiBrad replied to logan5's topic in Troubleshooting
So you imported and got images, later downloaded video and all of your images went away? Try refreshing your cache in the options or shut down LaunchBox and manually delete the cache folder. Video should interfere with the Cache, but something may not have refreshed properly. -
I'm currently at 152GB, but I know for a fact I am missing a lot of the newer videos and images. I also performed the enhanced image clean up as well, which removed a crap ton of duplicates. I'm just shy of 36k entries. Edit: This is the entire LB folder, including the cache, some themes and Big Box start up video.

Watch the other tutorials. I did a beginner's tutorial talking step by step, and a specific Wii tutorial too. Check the playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6pTDaHeAz-WMcNURVPU-1xLN_TVpT3FB

I somehow missed that part, whoops. I read that he had an 8TB drive though, which it looks like to still be used on this build. I've seen the question enough that I thought it was performance related because I missed the OG Xbox case part. Sorry about that. If everything is already set up on the 8TB though, then you don't need to worry about moving everything. If it's been setup on another computer, just plugging the drive in will work right away. When everything is kept on the same drive, it uses relative paths.

Importing games doesn't take 24 hours. You just tell LaunchBox which folder they're in, and tell it to import an entire folder or to import specific files. Files is easier if you have multiple files, and you need to filter out some of them. Like bin / cue games, you only import the cue sheets so you filter them out to import just those files. As long as you select the iso files for Wii, set the platform properly, then they should import just fine. Is your LaunchBox library empty? I assume this is your first platform you're importing. If the Wii games are already there, then LaunchBox is assuming they're duplicates and not adding them. So double check to make sure they're not already there too.

Oh, I think there is a program that does this, but I am unsure of it. The only program I know of, off the top of my head, is CLRMAMEPro, and I am not sure it deals with the software lists. Also, don't forget that you don't NEED the software lists to emulate these games, even if using MESS. I haven't taken a look at many software sets either, just CD-i, but if they have shorthand names they wont work at all unless you convert them all. If they're the regular long form names, then you're good to go. If the set has identification markers, like (W), (World), (EU), etc etc, in the title, then you can use Windows Search to filter out these games and delete to your hearts content. That's how I deal with sorting out my sets when I update or when I got them for the first time (No-Intro, TOSEC, Trurip, etc).

It being an SSD or an M.2 is still irrelevant to performance increases with LaunchBox. Even more so, the M.2 is more expensive per GB, and more precious (unless you're rich). You'll see basic performance increases, sure. Seek times are naturally faster, read and write speeds are faster, but from the last I looked at the Performance monitor with LaunchBox and Big Box, it wasn't using anywhere near my full 8TB 5400RPM capabilities, so it would be even further from an SSD's max. It might boot up slightly faster, but any performance gain will be minimal. If you had the choice to upgrade a CPU or to an SSD, for LaunchBox performance, it would be the CPU hands down. CPU, GPU, RAM and then hard drive, unless the drive was failing, extremely old or using an outdated interface like IDE or SATA 1/2.

Well, you'd need to talk to the theme creators then, which is @CriticalCid and @keltoigael. I think City Hunter was Keltoigael's modification? I have too much crap to memorize. Without which specific view you're trying to use it would be harder to tell you if that view isn't supposed to use background video. A screenshot of the view your using might help. Also, they do update their themes regularly, so you might try upgrading it if you haven't ever or recently.
-
I think it's a bug, but a bug related to the Theme. Either because XAML has been updated and the theme creator hasn't kept up, an bug just in that theme (or others), or a LaunchBox bug overall. I think it's least likely to be a LB Bug, or all themes would be effected, including default, but you said default was fine. I would try and contact those theme creators and let them know / point them to this thread to see if they need to upgrade. @CriticalCid might be able to talk more specifically about this, but that's where my guess would be; It lies in the theme right now.
-
Sure, just a point for anyone unaware.

I wouldn't bother putting LaunchBox on an SSD honestly. You're not gonna see gigantic enough speed increases for the high cost per GB. I'm working on getting an M.2 as well, but I'm saving that for games like Fallout 4, Skyrim, Witcher 3 and Xcom 2; games that require fast loading. I have my install on my 8TB drive along with everything else and it runs just fine. My LB install is 152GB.

When LaunchBox merges your game entries, it doesn't change anything regarding the actual files, it just shows you 1 entry for a game instead of potentially 10 entries. The first disc (disk) should automatically be the one that loads when double click an entry, and everything else is held in a context menu when you right click the entry. In Big Box, you'd open up the game details and it will list all the Disc's (Disk's) in there, but why would you emulate a computer system through Big Box? You can manually merge games by Ctrl + Clicking multiple games and selecting the merge function, or un-merge games by right clicking a combined entry and selecting the uncombine option.

I did a story on this a few weeks ago in RSS. It exists, it's moving, just very very slowly.
-
Because you said wheel, I assume we're talking Big Box? Have you tried changing the video engine in the options menu? Change it to which ever one you're not using and check again.
-
Are you using the default theme? Some views may not use background video. It all depends on the theme and the view.

I personally would never touch an AMD product, but hey, if it's working for you. Server hardware is a bit trickier, consumer levels and server levels are a big distinction and hardly work together anymore. The 3Ghz thing is annoying, but no one's ever said an era of chip to aim for. When you look at min specs on Steam games for example, it will tell you the era or area to start from, with the speeds. That's not common with emulators sadly, and it creates uneven expectations. I see it all the time here, which is why we generally ask for full specs.
-
Of course, no problem!
-
If you run the Steam importer this happens. If you import from another method it doesn't pull from Steam as it's not using the API.
-
It would be great if you made a bug ticket related to this. Click Issues/Requests at the top of the site and make the ticket there.

5400RPM vs 7200RPM doesn't effect it too too much. Your drive might take a bit longer to spin up if you haven't been using it, but I have a 5400RPM 8TB drive that has everything on it and it runs just fine.

You need to click add instead. It's not in the drop down because you haven't added it. Your drop down menu is hiding 3 buttons, click add, add it in, and it will be on the list. You should check out our Tutorials and give them a watch if you need some help. We have a Wii U one as well. In that tutorial, the command line requirements weren't a thing, so grab the command line parameters from the video description.

HGST is certainly that extra top tier, but they're generally a bit more expensive than the WD drives even. They're not generally at average consumer level though.

No, and there was a thread about this too. There is technically an emulator, but it really doesn't work.
