    Steam Trash Games

    I would rather see a lot of asset flips in the database than losing some quirky and creative games in the process. Asset flipping has become part of our gaming culture. For indie developers as well as AAA-developers.

    That is what bothers me the most, Indie devs who poured dedication and love into their projects getting drowned by all the trash. I guess Steam isn't a good place to publish your first Indie games anymore unless you have a ton of money to market your game. Guess I will just accept them if I found them at the moderation queue. At least I haven't found many of such submissions.

    Hey guys, I am willing to help out with the spanish translation.
    Spanish is my mother tongue, although I must clarify that I am not from Spain, so my translation will be in neutral spanish or latin spanish.
    Let me know if that works for you guys and I'm in :) 

    Thanks Kondorito, I think Neutral Spanish is the best version since our language is used in many countries with different flavors of it. If you run into a problem or have a doubt about the translation let me know via message

    Hey there. Just reporting, the Spanish translation is seriously outdated, I stopped translating around a year ago and I cannot remember which was the last version I did. I do not recommend anyone using it, unless you want to have Spanglish all over your interface. I cannot give a date for it to be updated and revamped, sorry. I have been silently moderating the Games Database and I feel very comfortable doing that, is the thing I feel ok doing in this moment of my life. Just wanted to let you know Jason.

    Hey everyone, I have started to retake some moderation at the LB Games Database and I have one big question:

    How do you deal with the avalanche of trash and asset flip games that Steam has been accepting since last year?

    There are thousands of them and honestly, I kinda feel dirty adding them to this database since in my opinion they are worthless, even from an artistic and historical point of view.

    Of course the problem comes with subjectivity. How each one determine what is trash, everyone has their own standards. Wanted to hear some opinions or official stance about this.

    @Jason Carr I generated the autoplaylist of last version, and I noticed that it adds games from other platforms instead of only MAME / Arcade. Is this normal?

    For example, for Nintendo Classics it added a game from Nintendo Game & Watch, or in the Sega Classics it added Mario Kart 8 from Wiiu!!!. I attached a few examples.

     

     

     

     

     

    How in the heavens did Mario Kart 8 got in there lol?

    Thanks for posting these images, I am noticing a lot of context and translations improvements I need to implement. I haven't used the playlist feature at all and I need to know what function each thing has in order to provide context

    Edit:

    @Jason Carr I clicked Edit instead of Quote and deleted @flores9 images!!! Incredibly dumb mistake I made. I can't find a way to rollback the edit, I sent a message to flores9 to apologize what can I do to fix this?

    Oh yea, i didn't even notice the english fields. I meant the displaced text at the top that goes behind the button and the checkbox in the middle of the form.

    Oh! hehe I just saw that... hopefully gets fixed

    @Jason Carr I just played around a bit with the new beta version and found this mixed up form:

     

    import windows games wizard.pngEDIT: It's the import windows games form

    As far as I know, due to games database scrapping, those fields cannot be translated, since the database only has English text for now.

    A great feat for emulation

    in Emulation

    Posted

    Two days ago, the RPCS3 (PS3 emulation) team teased a big announcement.

    A day after, they posted a YouTube video on their channel, showing that the famous game Demon's Souls (from the Dark Souls games) was fully playable!

     

     

    It is big because before this, this emulator struggled to even boot some games, using their previous alpha (0.0.1).

    Now with alpha 0.0.2 they achieved these results.

    The game Catherine is also stable and playable:

     

    Here is the link for their latest release https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/releases/tag/v0.0.2

     

    Do not expect anywhere near 60 fps though. And don't even try to use the emulator with a dual core CPU. This emulator works very well with high core count processors since the console itself uses 6 cores (SPEs) for games.

    Very slow.

    Hello there

    First of all, how many games you have in your LaunchBox collection?

    Secondly, have you enabled RAM cache? LaunchBox>Tools>Options>scroll down to System and find RAM cache, allocate 1.5 Gigas if you have 4 G of total memory.

    I have a six year old system, using an old AMD dual core CPU with 4G of RAM and a DDR3 GPU (very very weak) and I have no issues at all.

    Hi people from Gameranx

    If you came here from the recent Gameranx youtube video:

    You must be wondering about this software, so this is the part of the forum where you can start. Also there is an official LaunchBox Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSIht6UXIEXIgz4eXAEShxA

    You can see that the most recent video is featuring a 100 forever licenses giveaway, so now it is your chance to enter.

    Here is a topic made by the legendary monkey man mod lordmonkus:

     

    LaunchBox it is also available in many languages and there is a Premium version called Big Box. You may notice that in the gameranx video they featured both, LaunchBox and Big Box, so if you get confused about both versions because of that you can post a question here.

    I will pin this topic just for some days, for more visibility.

    I give up.   games are vanishing........ All the Daphne Games have been wiped out and every time i try to re import them i am getting 0 fespite seeing the complete list in the wizard.  The play fine directly through daphne.    I shouldn't have switched front ends.....  Beta 11 is screwing everything up.   

    Hi there, honestly, beta versions are bound by definition, to cause unpleasant issues.

    If you want to minimize the risk you should stick to the stable releases. I do not have any Daphne game to reproduce the issue you are reporting but I am sure, if it is reproducible, this issue will get sorted out.

    Go, Jason, go! I'm afraid I don't consider myself technically adept enough to beta test, but I will say that I am rooting you all on in all matters LaunchBox! With all of your efforts, I'm sure the release will be absolutely wonderful! :)

    Hi there, do not be discouraged about beta testing, basically you can just open LaunchBox, Big Box and make normal stuff, like adding games and so on, if you crash or an option doesn't work properly you just need to report it.
