The videos from EmuMovies will be downloaded and locally stored on your PC. So yes, you can still use them when your paid EmuMovies subscription expires.

Thank you very much Viking

Jason made a few video tutorials about the basics of XAML. I would highly suggest to start with them. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6pTDaHeAz-X8yNgOD3DPxUf1gaB2FLzb Also there’s a documentation file in the Theme folder which features the most important BigBox elements. When you have a feeling for the basics can you also check out the XAML tips & tricks thread and/or look at the XAML files of other themes to see how they have accomplished their look and feel. And the most important thing of all. Have fun http://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/28698-xaml-tips-and-tricks/

CLRmamepro doesn’t create any CHD files, it only fixes the file/folder structure when something is wrong. You will still need to download a CHD set which matches to your MAME version. Just download it and move the CHD folders into your ROM folder. Than you should be good.

Close LaunchBox/BigBox, open the „Data“ folder inside your LaunchBox installation and delete the „BigBoxSettings.xml”. That should do the trick

Quote from the LB newsletter this weekend: Also when you sort the BitBucket page for the most voted tickets you will get a good impression about all the features that will most-likely be added in the (near) future.

FBA runs faster than MAME on weaker hardware because for FBA it’s speed over accuracy. Similar to Snes9x vs. higan/bsnes. So when MAME runs completely fine for you I see no reason to switch at all.

The Gamescom in Germany is actually the largest video game convention in the world. It's basically a gigantic version of the E3 for consumers (with much less big announcements) but it also has a huge retro gaming area as well.

I don’t know anything about setting up DOSBox since I only use the preconfigured eXoDOS sets which just simply work. As those sets don’t feature the various sound enhancements I would very interested in a detailed tutorial about setting these up.

Normally they are .zip archives with a lot of different files in it, just like MAME. Some games also may need the proper CHD files for it to work but most of the games should run quite fine without them.

Just watched the video from start to finish and all I can say is hats off! It turned out to be really detailed, elaborated and very helpful for someone like me who hasn’t touched Amiga emulation since years. Wouldn’t mind to see more of these detailed tutorials

I just saw that EmuMovies has a little write-up about LaunchBox in their news section. Apparently it’s part of an FE overview series written by jackhammersalm. It’s a relatively short article so give it a read when you are interested what the EmuMovies FE Guide has to say about LaunchBox https://emumovies.com/news/rough-guide-to-front-ends-r252/

Sorry to hear that you had all this trouble. It reminds of all the wasted hours and headaches I had when I first started my HyperSpin theme recording project. But I’m glad that you got everything sorted out in the end.

+1 to that idea. It would be very appreciated if you could upload all the stuff from your website in LaunchBox friendly packages here in the forum download section, GoogleDrive, MEGA, Zippyshare, or whatever you want. This would be much more user friendly and could save you a lot of a bandwidth

Apple II Apple IIGS Btw. I’m really happy that you are working on your tool again. It’s really appreciated!

Awesome! The Mobygames API is finally here. It’s been months since I’ve last heard anything new about it. I’m hoping @Jason Carr will take a look at it.

Done

Sounds awesome! I never used FS-UAE myself so your tutorial would be pretty useful for me as well. Looking forward to it

It appears that your ROM version doesn’t match to the version that DEmul expects. The easiest way would probably be if you search for a Naomi ROMset which fits to the version of DEmul that you are using.

No it isn’t wrong, it’s entirely safe to update your set with multiple update packs at once. But just like lordmonkus said you have to make sure that every update pack is in its own seperate folder and you don’t overwrite anything. Clrmamepro will exactly know (based on the CRC values) which files it needs from each update pack.

It’s definitely possible and works exactly the same way. You just have to use the Rollback ROM packs instead of the update packs. Of course you will need all Rollback packs from your current version to 0.168. With that said. Finding all required Rollback sets would probably be harder than finding a complete 0.168 set. As alternative you could also try to find an older set and older update packs and update that set to 0.168. A second alternative would be to use an older complete set (pre 0.168, but as close as possible) and a more current set (again, as close as possible) and try to build a 0.168 set with them, but you will most likely end up with a handful of missing files if you are gonna use that method.

1. The scanner of CLRmamepro moves everything to the backup folder which doesn’t fit to 100%. But sometimes it only needs to add, rename or move some files around in the archive. So the files in your backup folder are still useful to rebuild your set. But I honestly can’t tell you if they are really required to update your ROMset but adding it is surely the fail-safe attempt. 2.The complete on-the-fly set conversion from .zip to .7z is kinda hit and miss. Sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes you get strange results like yours. The best attempt to convert it would be to rebuild your set to a completely new and empty folder. I guess I’ll need to add this to the tutorial sometimes soon as you are not the only one which came up with that issue. Hey @lordmonkus. I saw you did a noob-friendly tutorial for MAME itself. I hope you don’t mind if link to it in my start post

Just go through to the whole Steam import process again. LB will automatically skip all the games you already have imported and only add your new game.

Looking great so far. Nice job

So I’ve tested ReleaseDate as well and it shows it as date (in simple MM/DD/YEAR format) + time. I think it would be really nice if there would be some properties for the date format because the time is in this case really unnecessary and the option to use the same format as in the standard details view would be handy as well. This could also solve the ReleaseYear problem if it would be also possible to just set the ReleaseDate format to year only.
