Not meant to be controversial. I think content creators should be compensated (if they want to of course). It would also encourage more people to do it which is great for the community. Mid any of you have your own Patreon, at the very least you should put the link with your files and allow people to contribute. I compensate a few people now through Patreon. Because if a couple extra bucks a month from me can help you create more stuff, them I'm all for it.

Hi Everyone, i love LaunchBox. I paid for it and I have no issue with that what so ever because it's an amazing product. A huge reason why I love LaunchBox is the user content and themes. The community puts in countless hours and selflessly put that content here for all to enjoy. I am not a LaunchBox Patreon because I've purchased the software and gotten what I've paid for (I'm very happy). With that being said I would be a Patreon supporter if that money went to the content creators here in the forum. Theres a handful of people that supply a majority of the content and it is all amazing. We should support these people. LaunchBox should as well since the use created content directly affects license sales. Do you all agree? Should LaunchBox give a portion of the Patreon money to content creators? If not, I encourage the creators to create their own accounts and I personally will donate. I personally am a leech and have no clue how to make content, which is why I'm so thankful to the people ego so. I have no issues paying for stuff I use - especially when I make requests!

I'm having trouble upsvsling in 1.4. Was hoping 1.5 would do this better. I'm getting double vision in a lot of games at anything other than native.

Thank you. It's a couple hundred gigs so I figured I'd get feedback before I went ahead and spent that time and space. I'm in the same boat as you but wasn't sure if there were some hidden gems and hacks that I didn't know about.

Anyone using pcsx2 1.5 (beta)? Ive been on 1.4 for a while and would like to upgrade but I'm not sure how stable the betas are.

You guys using HBMAME? Is it worth it? From what i can gather it is romhacks and homebrew arcade games. Before I take the time to get it all loaded i figured i would see what others think and if you guys are playing them. Thanks!

Thanks - i don't want hypersin. I just want to be able to know what roms i am missing. Hyperspin has tools that like but they dont work outside of hypersin. So does anyone know of a tool that could match a hyperspin xml to the actual roms in a folder and tell me what games are missing? Or any other method to see what roms i am missing per platform?

HI All, Anyone know of a quick program that will essentially look at my roms folder and tell me what games i am missing? I found a few tools that do this for Hyperspin but they all require the hyperspin folder structure to work right. I basically want to load an xml then point it to my roms folder and have it tell me what i am missing. Exactly what rocketlauncher does when you audit roms - but again, it requires the hyperspin folder structure. I found one program that takes the hyperspin xml and matches your roms to then spit out a missing list - but it isn't working

Anyone using bin files (without a cue) for PS2 roms? I usually have ISOs but just got bout 900 roms and most are in gz format (which is a compression) and some are in bin. I tested a few bin and they load. Does anyone use bin files regularly without a cue? It will save me a TON of time to just use bin and not convert to ISO if I don't need to.

I got it to work in RocketLauncher. In emulator I pointed it to the 0.185 MAME application and used the MESS module. In rom path I put 3 paths. Path to the rom, path to my MAME roms folder and path to my mess bios folder. In theory you could have all of those things in 1 folder. I just didn't. You also need to set those same directories within MAME itself. LaunchBox keys you get away with not setting roms folder in MAME itself. But not RL. This method worked for Creativision and Funtec also. I'm guessing it works with all MESS cart systems.

Thank you so much! got it working - i was testing baseball. It looks like each game has a unique key combo to get a game running. Do you happen to know where those mappings are listed? Also, any chance you are running it through RocketLauncher?

Hi All - Are we able to load an exe when a platform is selected in big box? Or do we need to load the exe as a rom which is 2 steps - 1. click platform, 2. click rom? I am asking for programs like FightCade, Kodi, Plex, etc...

no luck - f3 gets rid of the flickering but the screen goes blak. when i press q nothing happens. Does it matter if it have caps lock on and it is an upper or lowercase q? Do you have it up ad running in launchbox?

I found this thread about the flickering screen and they say press f3 at the screen to clear it and then it should play. For me it makes a beep and goes black. http://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=102899

Thanks Brad - I did the command line studio2 -cart and it seems to work because MAME loads and loads the game, but then i get a flickering screen. I'm hoping someone who has rca studio ii up and running will chime in. I see it all over hyperspin setups so i know for a fact people get it to work.

I know some LB people have it running - hopefully one can chime in if they have it working. I have the same romset as you - i suppose its possible they are bad roms or they don't play nice with MAME for this system specifically.

oh gotcha - i thought you had rca studio ii already working - so you're trying it now for the first time and have the same issues i do?

ok cool - so basically if i wait it will go away and load the game?

Ultimately i want to to run in RocketLauncher because i like fades and bezels - but i cant even get it to run standalone so i need to fix that issue first then get it running in launchbox then i can mess with rocketlauncher. I'm thinking i have a bios issue or folder structure issue

Thank you for all of the help @DOS76. I ask a million questions and you have always been very helpful and supportive. Hope i can return the favor someday
