  1. Your order of operations should always be to get the system, games and emulator, working outside of launchbox before you import. This makes it easier to ask for help as it can help isolate any problems you're having.

  2. Many emulators do not require a bios file. No Intro includes them for thoroughness only. In order to find out if an emulator requires this file, it's best to visit the emulator page. Again, most do not. Nor should they ever be imported to launchbox.

  3. I'm just not sure if you can bulk edit it to not use an emulator... (This tells launchbox to treat an item like a program and not a rom), so maybe double check that first.

  4. You can go to import, roms, files, use windows search for .exe in whatever folder, pick any emulator, doesn't matter, name platform, scrape as windows, import. Then select all the games you just imported into launchbox, right click, bulk edit, and change the emulator to no emulator. This should work

  5. You can call the platform(s) whatever you want, but scrape as windows. I guess since launchbox is windows only... it's the catch all for PC games. But that's only relevant to how you import and scrape them. As mentioned above, once imported, you can sort them however you like.

  6. You're always going to scrape them as windows games, but you may be able to create a platform for each service, say "Blizzard", just scrape it as windows. If you want to go full on, you can go to manage platforms and change all the platform information and put in some personal art.

  7. Your settings are saved in the config files. If you use the ra installer rather than zip, install to a different directory then drag over the configs. Recommend using Stella as stated above. I've never had a problem with it. If not, download the newest ra zip and just pull out the exe and in this case the dlls and overwrite in your install.

  8. Creating and importing the m3u files is the classiest you can do with PS right now. Import the rest as cue. For other systems with multiple disks, you can let launchbox combine games with the same name as a single game. I'm not actually sure how to swap disks on the fly for other systems though. I know Rocketlauncher lets you do it for pretty much any system. 

  9. I remember a long time ago, and I'm not very savvy, but the gist was some guy realized it was actually windows that was swapping controller ids. It assigns ids on a first come first serve bases so even having multiple of the same controller, say xbox controller, plugged in, the ids will swap depending on which one you turn on first.

  10. I don't think there's a way to do this without leaving all of the controllers connected at all times. RetroArch will save a controller config, but it will apply that config to whatever is plugged in at the moment.

  11. The only way you can keep the rom name is if you deselect using the launchbox database on import. Or you can manually change the names within launchbox. If you do the former, launchbox will still match your video and artwork but it will have to be named exactly like the rom. I'm not sure about the star rating

  12. They fixed the functionality that let's you turn it off for specific library items, so you don't have to kill it anymore to launch bigbox. Having said that, it may occasionally revert back to desktop configuration depending on what you launch with bigbox... so.... will you share the script? :D

  13. Since we're steering from the original topic just a bit, I do want to point out that in terms of featutes, the steam controller configuration is number one. It even comes with fully customizable radial menus, does like five different button activation methods (short and long pull, double tap) etc. It's incredible. It's comes with a price. As of right now it means that steam will have to be running at all times, and it tends to take over stuff you don't want it to.
