No, it's closed source. You can write a plugin to do it if you have the skillset.

You aren't alone, you are just in the small minority. For what it's worth I agree it should be added but I just have 1 vote and it carries just as much as anyone else. I don't outweigh the masses or Jasons decisions.

I believe it was discussed during the stream and did not receive enough positive feedback to make the poll. At the end of the stream Jason had well over 60 items and had to reduce it to 40 for the poll. 38 of the items discussed were responded to positively during the stream and those are all on the poll. What was left either had very negative reaction or just luke warm so we pickled 2 items from the luke warm list.

I moved this to Off Topic > Emulation since that is where this type of stuff belongs. You gave a bunch of requirements but you didn't give the 2 most important ones. What systems do you want to be able to emulate ? What is your budget ? You said "affordable" but that can mean a lot if different prices for a lot of different people.

This does not require its own section, Off Topic > Emulation is just fine which is where I moved this to since that is what it is.

This tells me that most of the big and obvious features are done so now we are into the smaller and less required ones.

Using the Mame Full Set importer with anything other than the latest set at the time of importing will give you games you don't actually have. The older your rom set is the more this will be an issue. You can still import your set the old way by simply drag and dropping your rom set into LB and filter it all out using the built in filters. The Full Set importer uses a Mame database xml file to import more accurately. Using the copy feature on a Mame set, especially a split or merged set is not something we recommend doing because it will only copy those files imported and will not copy other necessary files such as parents or bios files such as neogeo.zip or qsound.zip.

Sadly it's not something that the majority of the average users seem to care about. Myself and @Zombeaver have been asking for it for a long time now and maybe one day we will beat @Jason Carr down enough to make him do it

You can them anything you want but they have to match up.

Do your platform names match what is in your Associated Platforms ? Also do your roms folder structure have any accented characters in them at ? Windows has a problem with this when running stuff via command line.

Sounds like you are severely overthinking it. Make sure your platform names in LB and the Associated Platforms of the Edit Emulator window match up, differences here will cause games not to load.

It has been asked for on occasion and has been on past polls but never got enough votes to make it worthwhile doing.

It is not. It's unlikely to be. You can have different installs of LB for each user account.

Because you had the nestopia core loading the games which is an NES core.

Your platform names do not match, I would suggest changing the one in your Associated Platforms window to match the one you have in Launchbox. Edit: I would also recommend to use Snes9x for now over Mesen-s, wait until it's a bit more developed before using it.

No worries, I had to ask. The proof you bought a license is just that you bought a license. The reason I had to ask is because the drive letter and folder structure shown in the first picture is not typical and "preloaded drives" sold online often come with viruses and other malware. I know BitDefender can be over protective at times, I have used it myself in the past but never had Launchbox flag it. It has been a couple of years since I have used it though.

Ok, im gonna ask a question and im not judging, but did you buy a preloaded drive ?

Ok then yeah it's a false positive.

If you downloaded it from here, the official site, then it is most definitely a false positive. However if you downloaded elesewhere or obtained it by some other means then all bets are off.

I want to say yes but I don't use either so I cannot say with 100% certainty.

Yes, you can do this. During the import uncheck all the media and it won't download any, you can then go back and rescrape a platform for all the media you want.

Mechanical drives fail every day to the point of not being read and having to be sent off for data recovery. There are different levels of failure.

Explain ? You can already import PC games into Launchbox quite easily.

I honestly cannot speak on it beyond what I have said. I am not a programmer and I have no clue what exactly Jason is doing in the code behind the scenes so I have no clue whether or not you could make use of previous xml files. I am advocating for more user choice with regards to different rom set versions and allowing users to input an xml file and appropriate rom set.
