    Also note, some emulators may require a bios file to be extracted, some, like mame, want the file to be zipped. Again, you just have to go to the emulator page and Google and read up. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    It may be worth noting that MAME is a strange one. If you're going to use Mame you're going to want to download a good mame rom set. The reason is, a mame rom set actually comes with a bunch of bios files mame needs. So to address your question directly, yes, depending on where you get things, they may be named weird and emulators may require you to rename. Also, not all bios files will work with every emulator, some are picky. I wouldn't personally bother trying to use the no intro bios for any system. I'd just good "emulator name / bios".

    Again, it will depend on the emulator you want to use. In the case of ColecoVision, I'm actually not sure. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    In terms of the systems you want, they are all really easy and you can get most of them in no intro sets. Do that Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    I'm not to good with spec, but can confirm the i5 and gtx 660 will run ps1. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    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 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    You should not be extracting mame roms. Turn that off and run them as zips. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    I haven't set it up myself, but this should help: http://www.rlauncher.com/wiki/index.php?title=MultiGame Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    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.

    I think for many of those retro style controllers windows sees them as "generic usb controller" and doesn't differentiate Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
  17. fromlostdays
    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.

    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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    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 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    I'm sure this can be done in ahk... but I don't know how. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Other than that.. I'm sort of at a loss. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    If you use Rocketlauncher you can set up Pause, which will allow you to browse those for a game via a Pause menu. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the excellent guide! Is there a way to have wow itself bypass the loggin screen as well? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    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? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
