Awesome Thankyou. I had to go fetch that drive previously and reconnect and then changed the path when it was no longer crashing from trying to access an older obsolete one That worked too, cheers!

Have a very strange bug where I am not, and never have used my external drive to play games directly from, as they are setup on my internal "D" drive, but for some reason whenever I click Manage > Platforms now, Launchbox force closes with the following error? Any awesome person out there know how to fix this please? (Since I don't use that drive anymore and not sure when or why it decided to use it for anything locally? Thanks

Have tried for half a day, kicking myself and reading tons of mixed instructions online and mostly finding these instructions to be outdated and conflicting with each other. AI tries to step by step guide the process, but simply keeps apologizing for giving instructions which were only relative to previous versions of FSUAE launcher. - I have Another World WHD and the latest Fsuae launcher - Adding Adf Floppies is as easy as choosing them and pressing start, but adding WHD's manually is seemingly impossible because i must be doing something wrong One thing i learnt is that games such as Another World that used to be on the main database and installed automatically, no longer appear in the fsuae database, due to being commercial games and no longer part of the downloadable ones (Which is why I'm trying to learn how to add a WHD manually) Example of an existing game from the database which is automatically setup below: Thanks if anyone knows how to do this

Yes Thanks for the backup, I got my games back up again in no time

The only thing I can think of, is by default, after you delete all games of a platform, the platform category defaults to ALL and that in turn killed my collection where somehow it deleted the full selection (a bit dangerous really to have ALL in the list) I'll disable that now. There could be a useful warning if you are deleting anything whilst the ALL selection is highlighted too. That'd prevent many peoples accidental sufferings. I went to the backup and drag dropped the previous file which was the largest in size as that was obviously the last time where all my collection was organised and complete. That resolves the issue, but would be good to have "Something" in place, especially since other people in my family play my collection too

Having spent a month setting up a very neat n tidy Launchbox collection of my favourite games for each type of console, this morning I loaded up Launchbox to find that whilst all the games still exist in their folders, all the emulators and platforms are still there, but all games have been removed from Launchbox........ Not really certain WHY did all my hard work putting games into the front end just vanish ? (Windows version)

It does detect a lot of false positives... that is true but I don't know how it can be considered spyware? What part is considered spyware / malware please? Especially when I've tested an emulation rom, it does a good job of blocking nasties or if people have shared other emulated stuff with embedded malicious code, it's always managed to prevent it installing keeping pc running clean. So what part of it do you refer to as being malware? If you could prove that I'd actually not continue my subscription with them Thanks.

This was relative to Norton expressing these wav files were somehow dangerous. If anyone's trying to install with Norton running Choose Norton Settings > Antivirus > Data Protector and disable that there whilst installing.

but why if it saves you 100gbs worth of space and looks like they run exactly the same from what ive compared?

Ive been playing around with these and I realised i had a lot of these super heavy CHD reliant mame games in my pocket handheld device on FINAL BURN The difference is? They need no CHD files and work on less power, faster, and still look the same. If a game can be emulated on FinalBurn NeoGeo, forget mame.

Would be an awesome very simple tool then for your skillful team I've thought about using the export/copy, changing the folder path to be the new location which will copy all games out to new location, and then simply delete the old one. Scary thought for a collection I've put together over years oo

When you have a good sized collection of MAME roms and CHDS, and some were never imported over the years, and some do not work, how can you find out what these things are? Since they're all located in the same folder, it would take forever individually searching through all these files to find ones that aren't thankyou.

Winner! Although it's not greatly intuitive to be fair. There wasn't an OPTION to select in the drop downs, but you're totally right that if you leave it blank and continue, it does disable the selected links. Thanks very much Neil !! ?

They were not imported as roms, they have worked as PDF links & PC game shortcuts, but having moved a few things around, some of them had "Use Emulator" activated. Clearly wasn't supposed to happen, but it did, and now it should be just a simple task of selecting all of these shortcut links, choosing "Emulator" field as the one to change, and choosing "Disable / Don't Use Emulators", but there is not an option to do this.
