This is such a loaded question and really you will get users that say yes and those who say why bother. Personally when I setup LB I never even heard of RocketLauncher and I still had my emulators running in a FE so I didn't bother. I did poke around with it and got a system or two up and running but I was just not intuitive enough to keep me interested so I stopped but it does have some really great features you just have to weigh those against the time it will take to set it up.

LB has a temp folder for unarchiving games that delete the files afterwards but the location isn't configurable as far as I know. Also if you are trying to use it for another purpose then the answer would be no you can't set your own temp folder.

Yeah no problem choose the one you want to keep (I would go with Windows or you will have to do this again in the future if you add more PC games) So go to the Platform you picked to rename and hit ctrl+a to highlight all of the games then hit Ctrl+e or right click and hit edit this will open the bulk edit wizard it will ask you for a value that you want to change if you type P platform will come up if you don't have a keyboard then choose it from the dropdown then another box will appear and ask for your new value you will want to pick Windows from that dropdown then it should be done.

Zombeaver that was strange but cool video.

I can't view that view it says it is blocked in my country

Look at the example right above it should match that but have the right core listed. -L "cores\mednafen_pce_fast_libretro.dll"

I always get a UI version it makes it so much easier to configure it how you want. Then you put it in LB and you never see it again unless you need to make some changes

Its the Extract rom checkbox that is screwing you uncheck it

I do to Brad but it would be nice to see it get fixed sooner or later.

I'll have to try that. I used to love LogMeIn but when it wasn't free anymore my needs for it diminished significantly. I also liked MS's Live Mesh but not many users used it so they discontinued it. When I got Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials I was able to remote into my server for both file sharing and it's RDP client to connect to the server or any active clients. I haven't reconnected any of my computers to the server since installing Windows 10 Insider Preview (it didn't support the connector software at the time) so I haven't had the ability in awhile I should do that though as connecting the clients to the server also gets you backups of up to 25 machines. These backups are pretty great for recovering from drive issues or when wanting to do a hard drive update. (sorry this became an advert for WS2012R2E but it is great software)

Every time I update LB which is frequently on multiple computers I get an error message about LB currently running From observing this over and over I think that the update installer tries to start before LB has a chance to close so you get this message if you hit ok fast enough you can get the message to pop of numerous times sometimes but if you pause for a second or two it will only appear once. Is there anyway you could add a small delay to when the installer begins after the update is done downloading through LB and give it time to close LB before running. Do other users experience this? For me it happens across all computers and all LB instances.

I've been downloading all x265 HEVC videos for all of my TV shows and Movies lately they are an awesome mix of file size and quality.

You start 9AM there right so 12PM here in Dirty Jersey. Also nice cliff hanger now I'm curious as to what the surprise is.

If you haven't set anything up yet its simple to do you just add the games you want under the correct platform get all of the metadata and images and then change the name of the platform in LB then go into your folder and change the name of any folders with that platforms name to your custom platform. If you already have the system that is the proper name setup though then you will run into issues.

I recommend making your own separate backup periodically also and keep it on a different computer just so you can never lose your many hours of work.

You go into the backup folder and take one of the file copy it and paste it in your LB folder then rename it LaunchBox.xml and try to start it, if that doesn't work choose another backup and repeat until one of them launches.

Unless there is some new feature that I wasn't aware of I didn't think it worked like that. You can sync your LB install to the web but I've never heard of being able to add games to your LB collection by telling the webpage you have them even if this was possible how would LB then know where the game was located in your directories if you didn't import ii the traditional way.

I'm liking the new image types feature.W ill there be more options to choose from in the future. I did my Sega Model 2 platform in clear logos awhile ago by putting them all in the front folder and they looked great I would like to see the logos added to the image types options.

I've had to scrap RA installs before after messing up the config and not knowing what I did I thought deleting the config files would help but that just made new files but they had an old school interface that was no way as good as the one they use by default so I had to delete and go back to the drawing board now I always copy the default config files before I start changing anything.

Figure out what's up with your config and fix it or start a new RetroArch with a fresh install and set it up again.

Is it an official release or on on EmuCR can you give us a link? Also how many games are there for 64DD

Sounds fine to me.

I haven't been able to get the X press to work either it seems like f12 is the only keyboard key that does anything

I have a Core i5 3330 with Intel HD 2500 graphics and it handles BigBox nicely it also emulates GameCube and PS2 pretty well with the occasional performance issues with some games on those platforms but for what you want they should work great. I use RetroArch for N64 and it handles it great and it even handles some of the shaders (others cause massive slow downs though) If you want a card though anything Nvidia 600 700 series should be fine for you. This is just a gift for your sister so I could see not wanting to go all out with the build. To be honest a 4th gen i3 could probably handle it.

I would say that if you want to go cheap then you aren't worrying about getting a GPU cause onboard would handle anything that you are asking for a 3rd or 4th gen i5 would handle it no problem but I say get at least 4GB if not 8GB of RAM and 64bit Windows. If you can get a good deal on 7 or 8.1 buy that and upgrade for free to 10 as long as you do it before July 29th.
