Depending on your monitor, a screensaver isn't necessary. I'd imagine attract mode sort of works like a screensaver anyway even on CRT monitors (but don't quote me on that). I don't think there is a way to implement this through launchbox, but it is possible through Windows. A quick google search brought up a bunch of results.

Which platform, which emulator, and how exactly are the directories set up, and what's the rom extensions?

I would actually love to add android games and apps to the PC, but I only want to do it officially (as in with my android email address entered and using that account etc.) and I don't trust any of the emulators enough. I wish they'd release something official. In the meantime, you might try Koplayer. I suggest it because a while back I was able to get it to work in Rocketlauncher. If I recall, its only a matter of associating the apk with the emulator, then having a program launch the apk like an exe. So basically just drag the apk into LB, and make sure its not set to use an emulator. It might work, might not. Been a while since I messed with that emu at all.

Could also check against dats from Dat-o-matic. This functionality already exists in Clrmamepro. You put in a dat file and do a scan. I'm pretty sure it checks for CRCs as well. Works for any system that has a dat file. But I guess somebody has to write the dats, and even no intro does updates to their lists. I remember once checking a pretty popular system against a dat and having left over roms. I guess what I'm saying is for a lot of systems it isn't an easy task to create a "perfect" set. It probably requires a lot of research. In summation, yeah use no intro when possible and try not to worry too much about perfection. Just my advice.

As I understand it, you keep everything, but can no longer get anymore updates. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Is that per core... in other words do all cores support the use of zipped roms? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I'm reminded of the many times the lead singer for one of my favorite bands has been a complete dickbag to his fans. Them records hot though. It ain't like I'm dating him. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I don't think it backfired. I was genuinely interested. I have had, in course, reason to communicate directly with the Rocketlaunch devs, Jason, Circo from emumovies, but that's the extent of my brush with emulation superstars. Everyone likes a backstory. I don't personally give shit one about open sourced vs, but then I'm not savvy enough to contribute shit.

Edit. Just read that reply. Yeah that would chap my ass too. Still, they mad a jamming retro machine. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

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
