DOS76

Ok This is a custom build so unless it is Windows Bloatware I don't have any OEM stuff on here. Thanks for linking it I'll check it out later.

I do have one but it isn't connected I disabled the AHK settings and haven't had any crashes since then. I have keyboards handy for all of my HTPC's so its not a big deal for me but I know many other users are trying to go full controller. Do you have a link to that video?

Intel NUC with i5 or an i3 would handle both of those possibly even the Pentium version would.

I actually opened a mahjong game tonight and didn't have a clue on how to play I understood that the corresponding letter on keyboard played the tile with that letter but I simply didn't understand what is going on with the game.

My moms family is part German her maiden name is Gaetjens her grandfather came over as a boy in the early 1900s (Not that we speak german or anything we are pretty much Americanized as can be).

Danke!

CriticalCid I managed to grab the 170 from PD but I'm like 66% done getting CHD files for 161. I see the 170 version is also available to grab there but I am unsure if it would be easier to delete what I have and start getting the new set and like you said this wouldn't really be feasible to do every time there is an update. Is updating the CHD's basically the same as the ROMs in ClrMAMEPro.

I wouldn't say Brad is lying he would likely be mistaken. I get videos from EmuMovies all the time using LaunchBox. I have a life time paid account.

Yeah if you have a paid account with EmuMovies then LaunchBox will download videos from them but if you only have a free account then you are SOOL. I believe that when you use the import it finds games that may not be exactly matched and matches them but I am not sure. I know that some games that don't get metadata from the GDB will have video or snaps added even though there will be no cover or it won't be linked to the data base.

Yeah I'm more verbal than anything and especially when it comes to writing and I get to plan it out and look it over before I have to convey it.

How do I set up Multi-disc games in LaunchBox? For multi-disc games in LaunchBox you will need to use the built in additional apps feature. Right click the game you want to set the additional app for and once inside the edit form go to the additional app tab. Click Add additional app Name the additional app whatever you want to call it ie Disc 2 or Final Fantasy VII disc 2 whatever is easiest for you. From there add the games path and make sure the use emulator check box is checked. Do this for each additional disc that is for your game. Exit the additional apps form then exit the edit form now right click on the game and you will see the additional disc added to the games context menu. Feel free to use this or any variation of it you may like.

Maybe explain how to setup multi-disc games using additional apps.

Yeah I personally am a history buff and like historical things and I think that the law and the way they handle old and outdated software is beyond draconian but that is my personal opinion Brad as an agent of Unbroken Software is just trying to keep them out of any legal BS so no links its not that big a deal its just the way of things work to best protect the site. That's why we need a PM system added to the site

Glad you got it running without having to start over. Operator errors will cripple your computer every time I know from experience.

If they use the same file extension you could go into the folder in explorer and type the extension in search and all the files will show up without the folders or if they don't have the same extension you can type *.* in the search bar and it wlill return all files and folders in the directory scroll past the folders and then highlight all the files you need for all the games and then drag them over to LaunchBox. I don't know anything about ScummVM so if they don't work like regular ROM files and there is no emulator then this actually wouldn't be a valid method. If they do though it would definitely work to access the files you need from sub directories at the same time. Edit: After reading Brads post I see this will not work.

I'm glad you did this way you could teach me how to move stuff around without having to re-import everything again. Also maybe there could be and FAQ added to keep these questions from being asked over and over again.

What is the actual path on the C: drive I'm guessing that because it has a few ..\..\ sections it is C:\Users\User name\Z-ROMs\ or something like that

Do it as the Friday feature while learning how to set up systems is great learning how to use LaunchBox for important features would be just as important to users. Or make a regular video with a system on Friday and add it as a smalll section at the end.

Hey Brad since changing paths and importing multi file games is something that constantly comes up maybe make a post that is sticky and maybe a new tricks and tweaks topic that new users can easily read the solutions to these issues because while they are easy to implement they aren't intuitive. I know that when I started using LB last year I had my own posts on both issues. If possible maybe both of these topics could be explained and demonstrated in an upcoming video.

I tried to do the same the other day with Game Oldies but since I can't get to open with the game going I figured it wasn't worth it. Would be great though if you could get the games to open already started and in full screen.

Yeah it is using a relative path LaunchBox does this so it will be portable and allow you to do what you are looking for if you missed it while you were typing your last post check post 3 that should explain it better.

Sorry I just reread your post if your paths are setup using a relative path already you can move them to a new drive as long as the path is the same on the secondary drive say you have C:\Roms\LaunchBox\Amiga CD32 but your XML is ..\Roms\LaunchBox\Amiga CD32 then you could just move the ROMs to another drive that was say D:\Roms\LaunchBox\Amiga CD32 LB would still see the games under the relative path as long as the path was exactly the same with the drive letter being the only variation in the path.

Get Notepad++ and use the find and replace feature under the search menu first go to the find and type in the path of your games ie C:\Emulators\ROMs and then use the count feature to make sure that it is finding your stuff (not necessary but that is how I do it) then go to the replace tab now you will see the path you entered for find and a new text box that you will enter your new path in then click the replace all tab and save and should be good to go you may want to copy your .xml first just in case you run into any unforeseen issues. This whole process should be done with LaunchBox closed as I've had issues with the XML not changing when the program is open still. Running them from an external drive should have no issues what so ever I run many games from external and even have entire platforms that I run from my Windows Home Server network shares (external drives on a completely different computer)

Actually it is the second rule in the PDF.

Nice I don't really like to torrent without it.
