I appreciate all the responses! I actually did wind up figuring this out a few days ago. Step one was getting an updated version of mame and roms. But for rocketlauncher users, the step that's easy to miss is that you have to point rocketlauncher to your mame roms even if it's not a mame system. So I set my apple II rompath to both my apple II roms AND to my mame roms and joy. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

You can also just uncheck whatever art you don't want at import. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Rocketlauncher is automatically going to read your lb database and use that, if everything is set up right. You don't need to add any systems or games directly to rocketlauncher. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

It's probably not compatible with the OS. I'm not sure how to make the hard copy work on windows 10, but I can help you get DOSBOX up and running if you're really wanting to play it.

Well, it all depends on where you acquired the game, how you installed it. Does it work outside of Launchbox? Your best bet to get it working is probably to get it in the exodos set and use dosbox to run it. I have it working just fine.

I think it might not be freezing. I think it might be losing focus. Next time, try just clicking the screen with your mouse and see if bigbox doesn't work with the controller as usual. It's probably a bug in the new release, as this just started for me recently, and only on specific emulators at that. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

For now for playability maybe you can try an older version, or the RA core? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Now that you mention it, this same thing started for me after I had sorted by region. I was going through and updating metadata and hiding games without art, and I figured sorting them would get the artless ones more clustered together for bulk edit. It affected a few of platforms. Pc and ds for sure. Why not give it a couple of days and see if it doesn't fix itself. I know that's a weird thing to say about machines, but I didnt delete any folders or take any steps. I just continued importing as usual and it eventually righted itself. Must have been rapidly too because I just forgot about it unil now haha. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

That's a lot to tackle, and I can't speak for most of it, but I can speak for Retroarch. Different cores have different compatibilties but I would suggest you use it for every system it will emulate. If you ever do run into a game, I haven't but I haven't tested 22k games in it, then just download another emulator for that specific game at that point. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

This happened to me too. I actually posted about it with a screenshot. I'm sorry, after a few more imports it just went away. I checked the xml, everything was fine. I think the only thing I did was import a few more games. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

This is only necessary for arcade, again because selecting MAME as the emulator on import triggers LB to give you a lot of extra importing options, so you want to do that (as opposed to just setting up RL as the emulator from the beginning). So import with MAME as the emulator, and then after import, in LB hit control + A to select all the games, right click, and select Edit. This will let you Bulk Edit all of the games at once. Then just change the emulator from MAME to Rocketlauncher.

The only emulator I have in LB is rocket launcher, and mame. You should actually import your mame roms with a mame emulator set up in LB because it triggers the mame importer options. Then just bulk edit mame roms to use rocketlauncher. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Maybe something has changed since I did it. When I switched to the LB plugin none of my systems showed up in RL anymore. But instead of adding them to RL directly, I added them to launchbox and RL autoimports them. I just mean rom lists. It's backwards from what I was used to. Import roms unto LB. Open RL, imported roms show up, set emulator. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

If you already know how to use RL, there's no reason not to. The only thing that's different is that instead of importing system into rocketlauncher which would then show in hyperspin, you're going to import into Launchbox which will then show in rocketlauncher.

So if you delete all the games for a system and then reimport, you shouldn't have to redownload anything. The only thing that should be checked on import is "match with LB database", uncheck everything else and it should automatically sync up with all your existing art and metadata. You may have to go into the LB menu up top and "refresh art", but that's it.

Um... zombeaver... do you use a controller? I know that must have been crazy work. Any chance you can upload those overrides? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

7 different languages, wow. Alright, he's my recommendation. Open Launchbox select your system, go to Tools, and then Audit. Let it do its thing. This audits a lot of things... duplicates etc. but it also audits your art. If you scroll over the columns you can sort the list by box art... or video... whatever you want. Scroll down until you see 0s by the box art. Select all the games with no art. Right click, then select edit. This will bring up the Bulk Edit Wizard. In the dropdrop, click "hide", this should be bring up a hide checkbox. Check it, and then and go through the next few screens. This will effectively "hide" every game without boxart for a system. You can "Unhide all games" via the launchbox menu whenever you want, but if you're just doing casual scrolling it will only show games with boxart. It looks better, in other words. But, if you find a particular game for another region that you want to have displayed, you can just unhide that game, and do a search for the art. If it comes up with some, awesome. If it doesn't, you'll have to make the art yourself. That's about all you can do. Remember that the LaunchBox Database is a community project and is by no means finished. And also remember that the creation of the art itself has been a "retro" community volunteer project for years. Some art might not exist at all.

You're not going to like it, but I would recommend against using good sets, or any sets with multiple roms in one zip. That's always going to cause confusion. The easiest solution to this is to get a no intro pack and use that. Then, if you want, you can make a seperate platform for the different regions or game hacks etc. What you're wanting seems like it would sort of disrupt the point of using a front end to launch. Having said that, I'm not exactly sure how the new feature that just released "combines" games. I haven't used it yet. But it might work just like you're asking. You'd have to unzip the roms and import them all side by side and let launchbox combine them. (However, look into the feature more, I think its more meant for games with multiple disks).

One last thing, the art that does exist is matched to your rom based on how the rom is named. I don't know where you got that nes pack, but if the names are weird, they won't parse correctly and thats when you have to click the game and manually change the title and download the art.

You have to understand that for many systems, art might not exist at all yet. Nes usa region is pretty much 100 percent on art, but when you get away from popular systems like that, there could be none at all. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

You can do and audit, sort by cover at, and hide all the games with no art at the same time, by the way. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

2400 is a lot of games for the nes. Your set must include releases from other regions home bees hacks etc. Are you using to sec and uploading a bunch of the same roms? Either way, art probably doesn't exist for all of those games. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

So I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "point the emulator to that folder". Unless you got a weird/bad dump, the cue file should point the emulator where it needs to go. If you mean that you imported them as zips in Launchbox, and now you want to point launchbox to the cues, the easiest way I know of is to delete your games in launchbox, and reimport using the trick of searching the window with your roms in it for ".cue" and then dragging all the results into launchbox. You shouldn't have to redownload any artwork either after the reimport.

Also thanks to Kerszr for rounding all of these images up. If any of the content creators want me to remove their work from this set, please contact me and I will do so asap. This file is a only a reupload of Kerszr's bundle of various Platform Banners, renamed and organized into a single zip. The total file count is 330. I spent a lot of time renaming these, so please forgive any errors or typos. You will still have to make sure the naming matches your system names before using them. Because it was so many files, I let windows automatically append two or more files with the same name as (2),(3) etc. Some of the file names were unrecognizable, and there were a few instances where I didn't even recognize the systems. Again, I apologize for any errors in naming. The files themselves are in different qualities and resolutions. The list isn't 100 percent comprehensive, but it's pretty huge. Enjoy.
