I would think just having a scraper for IMDB and THETVDB would be nice for basic usage. Set a video player as an emulator and drag your movies and TV shows in. You can already do this but the meta data you have to gather and input manually but having a scraper for it would be a nice little feature. I even put in a feature request on the github page for it. I don't know how much work it would be to implement this however. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/1494/scraper-for-imdb-and-thetvdb

No problem.

Just full screen it (alt + enter) with a game loaded and exit out with either alt + f4 or using your Launchbox key press combo. It should load up full screen the next time around, it does for me anyways.

It's a bit of a weird story but yeah basically now Mess and Mame are merged back into a single program but because it is open source people still make separate version of the program. In the main post above I have a link to an EmuCR page with a version of Mess I have tested this guide with and it works just fine. Scroll to the bottom of the page pick 32 or 64 bit based on your operating system, that will give you a bunch of link options. Pick one that suits you, I use the mega link personally. Mess to me is a bit simpler to get set up for these oddball systems that are not arcade. You could do this stuff all through Mame if you wanted to but there is extra folder structure work involved. Also I like to keep things separate, Mame for arcade and Mess for oddball systems that have no real alternative emulator.

How difficult would it be to implement a scraper for these 2 websites for people who wish to import their movies and tv shows ?

Omg, you need to star with the original Banjo-Kazooie. You will love it.

If this game is as good as Banjo-Kazooie or Conker it's going to be awesome.

I don't think there is a way to do that specifically like a refresh to scan for new roms. I have never tried this but you could drag all your roms in and import them and it should skip the duplicates but I have no idea if this is a good way to do that or not.

It is weird, i'm at a total loss.

Yeah I saw the video. Yeah there are properties but the vector section is just how the vector lines are displayed so you can tweak how they look. So weird that it will run full screen but not windowed.

They don't have different paths. I don't know about settings though but they should run in windowed mode just fine.

Here is what is inside my astdelux.7z file. It matches what is missing in your picture. That message usually means it cannot find those rom files so your rom path is wrong or your rom file is wrong. But everything you are saying and showing says your path and rom is correct. I am really stumped but I can almost guarantee at this point once you figure it out it is going to be something really stupid and simple.

Hmm, open your rom file and see what's inside.

Like I said I am completely stumped at the moment. Everything I can think of off the top of my head right now I don't think it is. I thought maybe you had a different emulator set for those games but I can see in your first pic it's set to 0.175. Your second pic is showing the rom is green in MameUI so your roms are correct. My first post I said whenever I have run into this problem it was a rompath issue or I didn't have a parent rom copied over but you only have the one rom folder. Sorry I am stumped, hopefully someone else sees this and can think of what the problem would be. I really don't think this would cause or fix the problem but I don't use MameUI, I use the command line version.

Ok so it's not just Atari games. Man I am really at a loss on this one. If the games are loading though MameUI 0.175 itself they should load through Launchbox unless you somehow got some setting in Launchbox causing a problem. It has to be some weird little thing.

Hmm I didn't have the original Asteroids pulled into Launchbox but just for testing I pulled the rom over into my mame favourites rom folder and imported it into Launchbox. I use Mame 0.174 command line version and my Asteroids is revision 4 just like yours. The game loads just fine so there is something weird going on for you. If the game is loading just fine when going through MameUI itself it should work. Usually when a game isn't loading it is either a missing parent / bios or a rompath issue but it doesn' appear to be the issue since the game is green in MameUI. You mentioned that you have 3 games including Asteroids with this problem, what are the other games ?

Awesome to hear, glad to see that little program still working in Windows 10. I just wish bbLean worked in Windows 8 and 10 like it did for 7 and earlier. Something changed in 8 and using bbLean just doesn't quite work right anymore, it sorta works but there are bugs.

The only time I have run into this issue is when I have 2 different folders for roms. I have a "full" set and a "favourites" set of games I have pulled out. I don't have a full Mame list set up in Launchbox I just import games from my favourites folder to keep things from getting too crazy. Sometimes when I pull a game from the full set into the favourites I forget to pull in a "parent" rom with it.

Just the tip ?

Yeah, no rush on these features especially for Daphne since like you said it is just a small number of games. You get to them when you can, hopefully there is an easy way to implement it like how @Zombeaveris saying.

The user by the name of wyzrd over on the Retroarch forums has made this awesome little program you can use to check for updates and download and install them for you. Here is the link for the forum thread and the download link is over there: http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6726 As always with something like this, make a backup of your Retroarch folder first just in case.

Lol, so many things that we go through in tinkering that we forget about after the fact.

Yeah this is a simpler way of doing it when you have a lot of games and want to switch out.

Thanks DOS76, I figured my was was probably over thinking it. It was just how I had it setup from a while back and it just worked so I never changed it.

Yeah it depends on what your hardware can run and just how accurate you care to be. For me I have the hardware to run very accurate emulators so why not do it and make sure I am getting the best possible experience. On my PSP and lower powered laptop I obviously have to make sacrifices but I am fine with that too. I also am willing to sacrifice some accuracy for certain features. For example I could use Higan v100 but I would rather use Retroarch and bSnes Accuracy for the shaders. It all comes down to hardware capabilities and features you want / need in your emulators.
