  1. Wow! That other program is sounding pretty sweet... lol. I guess using that would be way better than my idea of importing the sets of missing art... way easier, and you wouldn't need to worry about sorting in LB, you could just manage it in the other program. I like the way it shows each piece of available art too.
  2. Ah... that did it, thanks. I had the table checked but I had to check LB as well. Working fine now.
  3. This might sound weird but would a filter for missing art be useful so that you can quickly find games that you need to add art? Not sure if that would even be possible. Actually, that might work better as a category for sorting within the frontend.
  4. One of my pinball tables gets the error message "the requested operation requires elevation" when I open it in LB. If I just open it with VP it works fine. This is the first time I have seen this error. How do I get around this?
  5. Nice... so there are two screens of filters now? This is awesome. I thought Vs. Nintendo and Deco Cassette might be good filters too... what do you think?
  6. Try opening Launchbox on a secondary monitor. Try the scrollbar then... also try opening the options menu. Let me know if they crash LB. *edit* Ah... never mind. I just tried the options menu on the primary monitor and it crashes too. So much for that theory.
  7. I both worked it out for myself and found it pretty hard to use. lol
  8. It should be... I use it for Ultrastik/Ultramap and it has a tab right there for Xpadder too. Haven't tried it but it should work.
  9. I use it for its bezel features, pause and ultramap switching. It's a real bear to set up, but once you get it going it's pretty useful.
  10. Antropus said my unfinished List Manager I like that cabinet art... does that draw from the MAME art files?
  11. I'm getting a crash when I grab and drag the scrollbar to scroll in the game details sidebar. It does not crash if I mouse wheel scroll through it... only using the scrollbar. Error message is just the generic "has stopped working".
  12. I don't read much science fiction any more, but my girlfriend just read this series and she really liked it.
  13. Zork would be Dosbox. TRS-80 was a crappy old Radio Shack computer. It was actually the first computer I had. I have no idea if it's emulated, but would be interested to find out. I vaguely remember that game as well.

    Pinball PA

    I took a mini-vacation this weekend and stopped in a place called Pinball PA. It's in a small town west of Pittsburgh and it has about 400 working arcade and pinball machines. There were some really old and rare games, and some real classics. A handful of the machines had problems and he had a few that were rebuilt or had some hardware that was not original, but overall it was a really awesome collection. You pay to get in and the games are all on free-play. Off the top of my head, some of the games I played: Major Havoc, Tempest, Dragon's Lair, Space Zap, Pole Position (sit down), Sinistar (sit down, what?!?!?), Spy Hunter (sit down), Moon Patrol, Blue Shark!!!, Battle Zone, Asteroids Deluxe, Space Invaders, Gorf, Discs of Tron, Tron, Joust, Galaga, Galaxian, Gaplus, Ikari Warriors, Black Widow, Boot Hill!!!!, Fire Truck, Omega Race, Destroyer, Sky Raider, Jaws, Sea Wolf, Missile Command, Marble Madness, Pac-Man, Baby Pac-Man, Berserk, Frenzy, Red Baron, Star Trek, Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Lunar Lander, Solar Fox, Wizard of Wor, Robotron 2084, Stargate, Defender, Mr. Do, Satan's Hollow, Gyruss, Afterburner, Warrior, Reactor, and probably some others... this is not including the pinball machines. I was there for 6 hours and didn't get to play a bunch of stuff. This place is definitely worth the trip if you can make it.
  15. Heh... cute kid, man. Nice control panel too. What kind of joysticks did you put in it? The suction cup idea is brilliant. Along the lines of the "control type" info... is there any cleanup that can be done on that? There are many games that don't have a control type listed at all, and then some are listed two different ways, such as "8-way+stick" and "8-way joystick". I thought it would be more useful if it was standardized a bit.
  16. You would want to get a split (instead of merged) set. You can do this with CLRMAMEPro, but it's a bit tricky. Easier probably to just download a split set. Then you can use Lightspeed to organize your set. I'm not sure if the option to move to folders is working yet but if/when it is, you could move your unwanted roms to another folder and then delete that folder.

  18. Doesn't look like there's a whole lot in this one for us guys that use a frontend. They made a couple visual enhancements to the gui. Some incomplete graphical improvements for N64 and PSX.
  19. I was just looking through some of my game lists... I have to say everything looks so much cleaner with the "ignore articles" alphabetizing.
  20. There's been a few good tutorials on these forums that helped me get systems set up so I thought I would ask around as to whether anyone had experience. I've been wrestling with VP for a week or so... finally got it running. Now just want to get it in LB.
  21. Dunno... should I not be asking people to share their setup?
  22. lordmonkus said Childhood ? I'm getting more scarred by games now in my old age. I'm looking at you Souls series games, so muc swearing at the TV. I've been playing Dark Souls 3... it's just punishing. I think it may be harder than the previous games, but I have read people saying that it's easier. That may just be e-brag though. But yeah... back in the day when you couldn't save console games... dying meant starting over. You had to really want it. lol *edit* On the flip side though... when you beat one of those games back when we were kids we were celebrating and jumping around... it was a big deal. You beat a game now and you are like... eh, when's the DLC? haha
  23. Does anyone have Visual Pinball set up as an emulator in Launchbox? Are you able to launch and exit it without the table editor screen? If so, could you please share your setup with me so I can get it running? Thanks a bunch.
  24. I was just checking out the alpha list in Big Box. Seems like it will help navigation a lot. One thought is that, to a new user, it may not be completely apparent as to how to access it, or that it is even there.
  25. DOS76 said Any chance there will be by letter navigation coming to LaunchBox any time soon. Any navigation and organization updates for LB, like this, are appreciated.
