There’s a ticket for steam video downloads on BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/263/steam-video-download It’s one of the highest voted tickets so the chances are pretty good that it gets added in the near future.

I just tested it and the MAME -listxml option is broken for me as well in the current version.

Now that I saw your setup with your current FrontEnd I really get why you want .gif support so bad. I really think that it could be a huge improvement for BigBox as well :)

Jason Carr said CriticalCid said LB already downloads the artwork for all available regions. @Jason maybe LaunchBox should now automatically use the corresponding artwork based on the region in order to get the full potential out of this new feature? Because as of now it seems completely random which region cover LaunchBox shows me. Region priorities for ROMs which are multi-region or the World region would be nice as well. Agreed, Cid. We should definitely do that. Just pulling this up so that it doesn’t get forgotten. ;) Because that was also a part of the region scrape ticket (and the reason why I voted for it in the first place) I hope that it will get added very soon :)

Way better! :) I definitely consider using them when your set is finished. So keep ‘em coming ;)

They look awesome! You, sir, have definitely a huge talent on creating such artwork. Maybe it’s just me but I find the platform names a little bit too hard to read, especially the arcade one.

Hi exo, maybe you should read Donarumo’s explanations how he handled the export: https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/features/exodos-import#p1713 Personally I think it would be way better if MEAGRE would export the year and set the date to just January 1st. Actually that’s something I asked him myself when I sent him an e-mail with the update request for the exporter. I also asked him if he could add the option that MEAGRE will copy all the extras stuff like the manuals directly into LaunchBox. LaunchBox can handle multiple series values for a game. Just separate them in the series field with a semicolon. This works for other fields like genre as well. I honestly don’t know why MEAGRE doesn’t export the series values into LB so maybe you should ask Donarumo directly about this. As far as I know is LB completely portable as long as you keep everything in the LB folder itself.

Attract Mode is also the official name how HyperSpin calls this feature http://imgur.com/gD7rh6X

Thank you again for taking care of my request. Really appreciate it. It turned out great! :)

Alright, didn’t know that. Thanks for the clarification. I will contact @donarumo then. :) MEAGRE is actually pretty solid for what it does but you won’t find any better FrontEnd than LaunchBox ;)

Great to hear! It would be awesome to have all the artwork without any watermarks :) Also would it be possible to update the LaunchBox exporter so that it uses the current folder structure? And I noticed that the manuals aren’t getting exported either. Nonetheless I just want to say thank you for your work on this projects. I’m a huge fan and really appreciate it :)

I agree with the screenshots because as far as I know they were mostly made by eXo himself. But almost every cover and floppy/CD artwork from the eXoDOS set mostly has a Mobygames watermark on it. The Win3xO set on the other hand should be fine though because it was mostly made after Mobygames has decided to drop the watermark. But I haven’t checked that many games so I can’t confirm if it’s the case for every image in this set.

That looks really awesome. Definitely a big improvement :)

CriticalCid said Hi @bmonomad MEAGRE supports mass export to LaunchBox including all Images and most of the Metadata. But only in the newest version (which comes only with the Win3xO collection and unfortunately not with eXoDOS itself). But you can easily download the newest version from their site and update your MEAGRE version. Here’s a quick tutorial which I wrote: 1. Close LaunchBox and MEAGRE 2. Download the newest MEAGRE .exe file from here: https://sites.google.com/site/meagrefrontend/download 3. Replace the old MEAGRE.exe with the new one 4. Open MEAGRE –> Edit –> Export to LaunchBox -> choose your LaunchBox.xml and wait until everything is done 5. Open your LaunchBox.xml and search for the line which starts with: <ImagesReorganizedFor5 6. Change the value in the middle from “true” to “false” 7. Save and close the LaunchBox.xml 8. Open LaunchBox and wait until everything is finished and have fun with your newly imported eXoDOS and/or Win3xO set :) Just tested it and the method is still working with 6.3! The only issue you will have is that the gameplay screenshots, game title screenshots and the floppy disc/CD artwork are all together in the “Screenshot – Gameplay” folder. Of course that was always the case but now that we have dedicated folders for the different artwork types it seems a little messy.

Nope, Heavy Gear isn’t included. Maybe it’s a Windows 95 game?

imdavid555 said SentaiBrad said The Background: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ly06vsrdg9duv9z/home-header-background.jpg?dl=0 Exactly! That one! Also, I prefer the no text for the sides. I'm sure the Marquee on the front will say launchbox. I find it redundant just having the words "Launchbox" everywhere. Once is enough imo That’s true. I haven’t thought of that. Yeah now I think that it’s probably better to have the LB lettering only in the marquee to keep it clean.

I haven’t tested it yet and don’t know if it could break anything. I would recommend doing this on a test installation first to see if anything gets messed up on 6.3 and higher. If you want I can check it out for you over the weekend.

I really like both ideas. Using the LaunchBox Icon as a Mario Kart item and the BigBox icon as a trampoline is quite funny. For the different Donkey Kong versions I would say that I like the one with the black LaunchBox lettering on it the best. The only thing I don’t like is the grey brick wall background. It simply doesn’t have any arcade feeling to it. Nonetheless great job Rincewind! :)

LB already downloads the artwork for all available regions. @Jason maybe LaunchBox should now automatically use the corresponding artwork based on the region in order to get the full potential out of this new feature?

That’s just…wow…and I thought that I’m a digital compulsive hoarder but your setup, Derek, tops everything I could ever handle

double post...

I tried that myself a few days ago and had no luck as well. The format seems to be right but I guess there’s more to the MAME naming converter than just the XML.

Use the windows search to filter out all the files with the .cue and .iso extension and only add those into LaunchBox. The new tutorial from Brad may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awH3dzvY2ic

https://www.16personalities.com/infp-personality I would say that most of the text is pretty damn accurate. But there are a few things which don’t apply to me at all.
