Alternately, you could use the bsnes core in retroarch, which will launch fullscreen. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I haven't used Higan in a long long time but are you sure there isn't an option in the emulator to open fullscreen? This seems like an unnecessary workaround Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Um, in the bigbox settings menu you can exit or switch to launchbox. Just navigate to it. As for launchbox, I don't think so but you could automate it with xpadder or something. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

The article said controller support is kinda limited to games that supported controllers back in the day. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Recommendation is to use no intro where available, then I think tosec for computer systems, and redump or dark water for disc systems. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

There is no "incorrect" naming per say. The people who rip roms, good sets, tosec, no intro etc use their own naming conventions and for different reasons. Most everyone will use a region tag of some kind, to let you know if the language of the rip is japanese, European etc. No intro sets are lauded as the cleanest, because they have a simple naming convention and only include one rom in their set. Tosec includes other information like release year, but also includes multiple rips (versions) of each rom for posterity. Launchbox autosorts by platform, and has an xml lost to store relevant data, like region and year, so launchbox doesn't need any of that info in the title of a game. Hence Launchbox should be using just the game name itself. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

@Crush you're a genius. Worked like a charm. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

This is going to be really dumb, but I don't know anything about GIT and I'm having trouble downloading those files for the "data" folder. Any suggestions? Update: If you're having the same issue, you can go to this website: https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home Input the address for the data folder, should be: https://github.com/libretro/vice-libretro/tree/4ef3e4f6b4b9f52b15444f7e4cd53e93c73c948e/vice/data And click download. This can take a minute, but it will download a zip of the data folder. However, even with this in place, I can't personally get the core to work properly. It'll load up the core, but it give an error Cannot locate Device* and not load the game. May you have better luck.

I get it.. the fresh start thing. Especially if you're not using retroarch... it's a whole lot of emulators to keep track of... what version of this etc. I'd start with RetroArch. Get it running via rl or launchbox, whichever way you want to go, and start importing. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

If I'm right there isn't much you can do except maybe use FatMatch to rename the logos. If they are no intro the art will still work in launchbox Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Rl might be looking according to the no intro rom name, but if you dled from launchbox the name is minus the region tag plus - 01 or something similar. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I'm thinking it might be because launchbox names it's art differently? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I went about putting my roms into individual sub folders with a nifty little program it's a snap. Now my saves go into the content directory. I'm not recommending this though. It's good for organization, bad when you lose your rom drive. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I appreciate the script, and I'm in the process of extracting. I may leave them as is... (iso) as it took almost two hours to compress one game (6 gig madden game mind you) but if I fill up this drive the script will come in handy. I'll just have to not touch my computer for a week, haha.

Do you mean that you're using launchbox for your retro collection, or that you're just picking up this hobby? Heh. Two different scenarios. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Stumbled on this trying to convert PS2 to gz. So I haven't extracted the ps2 set which is going to take forever. I'm just wondering if there isn't a way to convert straight from 7z to gz without extracting? Thanks!

I think this has less to do with RetroArch and more to do with the RL module. This is just a guess, but you'd probably have to edit the module. You can try checking the module settings in RL to see if something you can just set.

I know that if mame does support those systems, it will require the bios files found in a recent mame rom set... but I don't know, and I've also asked before and no one seems to, exactly how to set it up. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Hey Jesse. Welcome to the fray. Firstly, what you're trying t o do isn't easy. I'm not totally sure the mame core supports all the systems that mame currently does. If it does, it will require some setup that I don't personally know how to do. However, new mame has controller support, and you can use launchbox to exit the emulator etc. so using mame proper is by far easier. I do have this system running in RA, but using an old 2015 Mess core and a launcher program called Rocketlauncher. Even Rocketlauncher doesn't support it out the box and I had to mod that a little bit too. No matter which way you slice it, it's going to be a bit of a time investment to run those systems through RA. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

To simplify that, emulators Retroarch and Mame. Put the games wherever you want. Best practice is what makes sense to you. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Also consider this may not work 100 percent with every system. Launchbox has its own database so if your art is named exactly like the rom, as in hyperspin, it might not always match up perfectly with the LB database. But this will be few and far between I think. LB is good about recognizing art. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Which core? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

As always, you da man Circo!

This has been my exact argument to the SO as to why I put so much time into this. I'm like just wait until we go broke and cant afford the Internet, or are living in a bunker. You gonna be glad I did this. To further that, when we got that flooding last year and the water was coming up to the house and we had to evacuate, during that moment of panic of what to grab, I grabbed ... ironically the hard drive that started this thread, now that I think about it... my nvidia sheild tablet plus controller, 3ds, some pop tarts, water and a change of cloths. I didn't have to think twice about what I needed hahahaha Edit, that's not actually ironic, I'm aware of that, but I'm not changing it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
