    Glad you got it working. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    It's definitely a problem with steamlink. I launch bigbox from steam with the xbox one controllers and have no issues. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Still not an ideal solution since launchbox is supposed to be portable, but definitely good to know. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    It does because it sends a keyboard input, so it will work exactly as if you pressed the escape key. It's worth noting that I do use a program called Rocketlauncher, which is set to kill an emulator when escape is pressed regardless of what the emulator wants to do... so I've never actually tried pcsx2 without that... meaning if I recall esc might just minimize the emulation and leave the UI up? If that's the case, there may be a setting in pcsx2 that will allow you to close the emulator on esc press... I'm pulling from memory here haha. But as long as esc or some combination of buttons will exit the emulator, you can use a keymapper to bind it to your controller. I use xpadder, but joy2key is another viable option. Maybe even pinnacle but I've never used that one.

    Pcsx2 and Dolphin, this never worked for me in either case. I haven't looked too much into it yet, but a quick workaround until it's probably addressed is to keep a keymapper open to a mostly blank profile but bind one of the buttons to esc. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Also note that you're going to want a subscription to emumovies if you don't have one. Lb has its own database but some of the art and all of the videos come from emumovies. So factor that into the budget. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Also, there's plenty of videos up on YouTube for you to see what you're getting. There's no fluff there. I mean people put extra time into their individual setups, but by and large those videos are just bigbox and an occasional theme, which are free and easy to use.

    Do you mean bigbox? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Edit, I should amend that launchbox has a "clean artwork folders" option. I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't run that if I had something wonky with the regional folders. I actually pull the art I find in those folders into the main and delete them, but they always come back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    As far as regional folders.... I'm actually not sure about that either. I suspect lb might even check there first for regional titles but since the region isn't in the filename, I'm willing to be putting the artwork in any of those folders will work. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Yeah I can't speak to what launchbox will do in that scenario. Only because launchbox appends the media name as romname - 01. I know that if you have two files romname - 01 and romname - 02, it will pull one or the other randomly. You could use Bulk Rename Utility to easily append the file names in that folder with a - 02 before you copy to be safe. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Alternately you can just drag the media into the folder launchbox expects it in. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Umm... I don't know what's in that thread, but if you select a system in launchbox and go to tools/audit, you can sort your entire game list based on any media feild. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    I don't know much about arcade cabs... but when you said you placed your machine there.... did anything else get moved... and of the launchbox software or folders? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    I don't think this functionality exists yet, unfortunately. However, you may be able to achieve this via batch. Batch create copies of the default marquee you made to the number of games you have. Then batch rename them based on your xml to game names. Then copy and replace your actual marquees over that. Place in correct folder and voila. I don't know any type of programming language but a few quick Google searches might get you there. In the meantime, finding the bit bucket request for this feature and voting it up. Not just for marquees, but for all image types. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    It's too many to list. But my favorite part of launchbox is it's growth. When I first started tinkering with it, replacing the almost half a decade hyperspin set up was unthinkable to me. Then feature after feature after feature, Jason's responsiveness. Seems like every weekend its something new and awesome. It's been a genuine pleasure catching that wave. And of course, have to shout out to emumovies for basically the same reason. So my personal favorite feature of launchbox is that it evolves. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Those databases are good and freely available. Glad you got it sorted. Remember that LB doesn't use any rom "naming convention". It just uses the game name. I seem to remember that they are working on adding alternate names to the lb database which will help, but by and large no intro naming is the best for most purposes.

    The best way to do it for disc based systems is "Tools/Import/Roms" on the next screen select "Import Files" NOT folders. On the next import screen that pops up, you can use windows search for ".cue". This will find all the cue files in the folder. Select all and import.

    It depends on what system you're talking about. There are many systems for which a full set of media doesn't exist yet. That being said, I personally have a few tricks I might use depending on how complicated a file name is. You can try to find a better named set. You can use Don's Rom Renamer (xmls) or CLRMAMEPRO (xmls or dats) to rename a badly named set. As a final option for really obscure systems that don't have a dat or xml, you can use Bulk Rename Utility to manually clean up the names.

    Counting the number of files in a PS dump is deceptive, as Neil points out. You probably don't have that many games. Instead, it's counting discs. Some games have upwards to four discs. Launchbox has a consolidate feature that will import all of the dics for the same game as one entry. You probably really want to use this, but if you want to have all the discs import separately, you'll have to delete your PS library, reimport it, and untick "Consolidate Games" (or something similar,its been a while) during import. I would like to stress that there is no reason at all to do this. The only other thing I can think of will depend on how you import them. Are you importing the cue files only (which is the right way)? If you are though, it's possible a few games in your dump might be missing cue files. If you're importing bin... its possible a few might not be in bin etc.

    Do you use a custom ps1 config in RA when launching through launchbox? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
  23. fromlostdays
    Retroarch can also save per game configurations for controls. The trick is you have to change the buttons in the core options, not the input options. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    Might be a huge hassle but could they set up the same game as an alternate version and have that one always launch using the other emulator? It seems feasible but probably only realistic if you want to do it for just a few gams. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
