best way to do it is open up all of the XML files in the Launchbox\data\platforms folder with Notepad++ then go to search in the menu bar and select Find type in the beginning of the old path as it shows in the xml so if it is showing C:\Launchbox\Games\ and you are just changing it to D:\Launchbox\Games you would just put C:\ in the find box do a count to make sure it is finding them then open the replace tab and type D:\ in there and then click to change in all open files and it will change the path in all of your xml files as a precaution make sure you back up the platforms folder before changing anything in case of a mishap. Also if you have any platforms with data on different drives make sure they aren't included in your open xml files when making the changes. I also wanted to add that the location you where talking about changing will have no effect whatsoever on the games you have already imported. That field is always set to show the games folder even if you imported your games and they are located in a complete different directory.

Ah okay I wasn't sure as you mention Bigbox here in your other post.

Highly unlikely its your hardware.

by chance have you already added an Arcade platform with MAME if so LB may be seeing the roms as already imported under arcade and you will need to force duplication to import them again. In that scenario though I think the last page of the import will show all the game names but then the final import will only add any games not already added so if you are only seeing one game in the list before you finalize the import that probably isn't your issue.

have you set up the buttons in both LB and BB they both have their own separate config sections for buttons

It isn't possible although I will admit that does look pretty good with the icons there in your screen shot

Just kidding feel free to ask any questions you have.

1a Yes you are correct in that you can not sort which order information shows up in the details. 1b Not sure on number of custom themes 1c BB themes are easy to find in the download section of this forum (and coming soon directly from within the interface) and easy to switch between them but no they are not easy to make they require either some knowledge of coding or at least the ability to reverse engineer someone else's code and make changes to it Letter jumping should be as easy as clicking on the game field in LB or clicking on a game and then pressing the letter you want and I don't believe that it is a premium feature but I've been on premium for so long sometime I blur those lines of what is free and what it premium. As for the forums they are here to stay they aren't going anywhere there are many helpful users here that are part of our great community with a crazy amount of knowledge on all types of different stuff that pertain to the hobby.

I stand corrected.

LB doesn't have any save or load features at all that would all need to be handled by the emulator that you are using when you launch a game through LB.

I think documents is where LB tries to install by default if I'm remembering correctly but like Monkus I always keep LB off of my C drive.

yeah I did this like 3 years ago

try opening an admin level command prompt and run sfc /scannow to look for Windows corruption.

Have you considered trying the RetroArch Stella core at this point?

I'm confused about this also.

I think maybe for all three of those you have to include the SNK and NEC name with the appropriate system names or at least scrape as those.

couple of things I didn't see anyone mention 1st off ZSNES is terrible old and inaccurate compared to the options available in RetroArch and 2nd LB has the ability to add emulators that aren't set as your default emulator but can be accessed through the Launch With menu when you right click a game.

Nintendo didn't shut ISOZone down fear of Nintendo doing it to them did. While I don't support Nintendo's actions on these things I certainly understand them from their point of view. They are business people doing what they think protects their business. Are they going to stop the illegal downloading of their IP? Hell no but that is a different matter. If all their currently for sale software wasn't being made available on the net they may have not even bothered in taking down love ROMs. So far that one particular guy running 2 sites has been Nintendo's only target everything else closing is through fear of owners of sites afraid it will happen to them. Before it was all fun and games but now that there are possible consequences they aren't willing to face them which I can't blame them for you wouldn't catch me running an illegal download site that is for sure.

Try installing LB again to another folder and then copy that BB.exe into your original folder.

Not sure why it isn't working as it definitely should, I've even copied LB installs to different computers and it doesn't give me any problems.

I've had this issue for quite some times myself but just double click it to maximize it. I did report it yesterday but I don't think its much of a concern

Okay there is a little confusion here 1st off the game path under edit platform is always set to the default LB folder regardless of where your games are. 2nd you don't need to add your CHD files into LB you just need to them in MAME and they can be in separate folders as long as you point the MAME.ini paths to both locations. Also you can have games in different directories that are in the same platform.

you can use all the media and roms on a server for any builds but to be honest because it isn't really optimized for something like this I don't suggest doing so with your media only the games themselves. Even to point the media to a location outside of the LB folder is a cumbersome task that involves change paths to every folder you have manually so its really an undertaking to attempt doing so now if you were to set all your media in one folder on a server and then use symlinks on your device to make it point those folder to the default LB that would be somewhat easier but still you would probably run into performance issues

I already use ROMs from a network server in LB and it works pretty good and as long as I use the computer name in the path instead of a network drive then it is pretty much portable between computers to just copy your build over although a real server solution like a Plex would be great but I also wouldn't guarantee that the performance would be great accessing it from anywhere in the world type of thing
