I didn't actually write MEAGRE, I just adopted it as my front end when I started the project. Donarumo is the author of MEAGRE, and it was his interest in launchbox that actually led him to add the export option. Unfortunately for me, he loved Launchbox so much he ceased development on MEAGRE. :/ I'm currently debating on how to proceed. As in, so I try to adapt everything to just use launchbox natively going forward, or do I stick with MEAGRE and just treat it "as-is" and give up on any updates. Lately I've been knee deep in working on Win98 emulation, so I haven't bothered much with front end issues. When I get a few free hours I'll run a launchbox export on one of my sets and explore the software so I can actually make an educated decision. In the mean time, I'd suggest going to the MEAGRE website and reaching out to Donarumo there to ask for an updated exporter.

I'm working on updating my scraper. Moby removed watermarks, and I'm looking at rescraping them and replacing them with clean versions.

StammesOpfer said Did that give you cover art? I would just try it but I am waiting until Win3xO is done before I try it again. Done as in, downloading? Or done as in, final release? I ask because from a release stand point, Win3xO is "done". I'll eventually go back to it and add missing games I've found, but that won't be for a few years.

At one point Jason has talked about setting up eXoDOS on its own server. However there were some major networking issues they were trying to figure out. Archive.org is a pretty small operation when it comes down to the number of guys actually working on it daily. As in, it's pretty much just Jason. The speed will get fixed eventually. Just take time. The best place to get my work is [redacted]. While this does require maintaining a ratio, anyone can join. Around Christmas PD generally makes a large number of torrents 'free', including my projects. Other torrent sites offer it for "free" daily (as in, you don't have to seed it back), but they are invite only sites. I also have had folks sends me hard drives, and I load then up and send them back. I don't charge for this. It trends to be especially useful in areas that have limited bandwidth.

Hey there 65Cobra427SC (quite a name you got there). You can email me at retroexo@gmail.com. I use that address for all communication in regards to my projects. I've just pinged archive.org to see what the status is on getting v2 hosted. It has sparked conversation on how to best host it and maybe adding some instructions as it seems a lot of folks see it as an excellent repository for games, but aren't understanding the full benefit of the front end and how to make use of the launch files.

My ears were burning, and now I know why Donarumo, you cheater, you never told me you were moonlighting. Now I know eXoDOS will have exportable features to LaunchBOX. Also worth noting, there is a DBGL (DosBox Game Launcher) exporter as well as a Hyperspin launch Module for eXoDOS. I like MEAGRE because it is simple and Donarumo is great at working with me to include new feature. It is also worth mentioning that MEAGRE has a great GUI portion called Nostalgia mode. I think most folks don't understand just how many features MEAGRE has to offer. That said, I also know folks generally have their own preferred front ends, which is why there is a DBGL and HyperLaunch module available. I am also looking into adding support for a few other well known front ends such as GameEx. Anyways, glad folks are enjoying eXoDOS. I do recommend verifying you have the v2.0 release of eXoDOS. it fixed a lot of stuff, added tons of new games, and had the updated MEAGRE with it. I am currently about 75% of the way through Win3xO, a Win3x version of eXoDOS.
