Maybe part of the bad rep is the forums. It can go both ways. I've met some nice folks, but I don't think it's a coincidence that you see so many people asking RA questions on other forums. I know absolutely nothing about the devs, but that they made something awesome. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

What did they do to pain jason? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

It's probably retro arch... but I always day retro arc.... for what it's worth. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

DOS you are the man. So simple! I should have asked first, save me the trouble of breaking in to that windows apps folder, which is unduly a pain. Thanks! I'll try this as soon as I get off of work. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Removing characters from the end of the filenaming, download Bulk Renaming Utility... I think that's the name. It'll let you do all kinds of filename edits to all your files at once. In this case, remove the last few characters of every filename. Lastly, launchbox has an option to cleanup images, I think under Tools, but I'm not sure what it does.

You could do a windows search and delete it? Like search for 02 or whatever it appends the files with? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

It's confusing, I know. The plex app is downloaded from the windows store. If you download plex from the website, it installs the media server, and you can access it by the icon in the taskbar. Clicking the latter will open plex in a browser. The app opens it's own program, no broswer. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Wait no. Rocketlauncher won't let you leave them zipped. It will just unzip them for you, but launchbox has that functionality now too, I think. The only way you can leave them zipped is if the emulator supports it. There are a few compression methods that work for ps1 gamecube etc, but I'm not sure about ps2.

This seems deceptively simple, as even apps have an exe. However, this isn't the case. First, the reason I'm looking to launch the Windows 10 Plex APP is that it has controller support, while the browser version does not. So I downloaded the app. Took control of Windowsapps folder in Program Files, found the Plex App exe, but apparently when clicking the exe for windows apps, you get an error: "This application can only run in the context of an app container". Which marks the end of my know-how haha. I guess it means it needs to be run through the windows store? I'm pretty certain I'd get the same error if I imported the exe into launchbox, so is this possible? Anyone ever try and do this? Thanks!

I had the same issues with wireless ps4 controllers. That's why if I could go wired, I'd use them, but otherwise sticking with the Xbox One Elite. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

The good news is that it syncs beautifully with launchbox, now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Something else to learn.. haha. It's a great program but people say it's more complicated. It does give you fade screens in and out of emulation. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Not currently in launchbox. You have to use rocketlauncher. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Have you tried refreshing the images? It's under one of the top menus in lb. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Added bonus, you can do the same thing with Win3x, but this is even more tricky. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

This is a large investment workaround and it has some minus sides, especially considering exo and Jason are working on a new set... and with Jason involved will probably sync beautifully with launchbox. But, if you set up exodus through rocketlauncher, admittedly a little tricky, you can import your entire exodus set as roms and leave them that way, just use rocketlauncher as the emulator. Perk: you can leave your games zipped and point rl to the folder containing the configs, and launch the games from the zips. Adds a couple of seconds to the launch. Downside, the set does not scrape well in LB as is, and there is media I guess only available to people who use the meager export function. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Does it refuse to load at all, or are you just getting a black screen? I ask because 64 bit here I blackscreened with glupen until I changed a specific setting. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Did you check what your buttons are bound to in bigbox? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I'm reaching far back in memory here, but there are multiple ways to bulk edit media files. If I recall, I was able to do it based on either an xml and even rom names. I'm sorry I can't remember which programs I used. I think one using xml was for roms and I just changed the filename it looked for to png so it thought my media was roms. Maybe FatMatch?

Well, I don't know if the launchbox interface supports controllers. Even if it doesnt, would not be hard to map to joy 2 key. Having said that, bigbox (which comes with premium) is a godsend for controllers. It supports key combo buttons for exiting emulators. A couple of days ago I navigated to play super metroid, then without taking my hand off the controller I closed it, navigated to re7 in big box, launched it and was playing it, xbox controls the entire time. And if you us RA you can do most if not all of your emulator configuration with the controller too, after initial setup. We live in the future haha Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

If you find a good solutiom, I won't if we could start a gog pack? It is a good idea. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I don't think so... but it wouldn't do much good. LB already scrapes surprisingly well. And I would think the database would want to be as inclusive as possible for all rom sets. Best way to do that, I guess, is just to use the game name, and fuzzy match roms to that. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

It still has to read the xml... but it doesn't display the boxart.... haha... I'm not sure. I do the same thing, though. I usually hide the games missing box art. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

It's common. Number one: the LB database is a work in progress... an enormous one, and I think prioritizing north American releases for now. Number 2: I don't think it uses no intro naming at all, it works because scraping can usually ignore the region tag and the game names are similar enough. Some will slip through these cracks. If you intend to fill in the missing metadata, might I suggest trying to add it to the official database? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I don't know. I've seen a performance increase since I put lb on an ssd. But I also upgraded my video card, and with all the updates I couldn't tell what caused it. No stutter when scrolling artwork in bigbox. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
