Good point about Hamachi. "VPN" was just easier than "Virtualized Network Bridge Adapter" but VPN a bit of a misnomer for Hamachi, compared to an actual VPN service. Works like a charm for emulator netplay most of the time, though. Zsnes 1.42 and ppsspp with an AdhocProServer both worked perfectly for me and my buddies. And yeah, I was trying to figure out .m3u files for PS1 games (with the Mednafen PSX core in RetroArch). They work perfectly for uncompressed games, but I don't think the .m3u can't associate with .7z files (since it should be looking for cuesheets), and LaunchBox extracts whichever archive it's pointing at, so at most it would decompress one disc at a time. Not even an issue, I can just extract them now and point LaunchBox to the .m3u files. Though I might look into GCM and CSO files later, once I'm done sorting out my PS1 collection.

Wow, thanks for the fast response. -I'm not familiar with BitBucket but I'm glad alphabetical sorting is on your radar. This is really the only nitpick I have with LB at the moment, but not enough to stop using it!! I'll check BB in the future for other features. -I'm glad to know that the license is a separate file. I was worried that if I upgraded, I'd be giving out my personal license to coworkers if I shared my setup! Thank you. -All of my roms are currently set up with relative paths in LaunchBox, I think - I see a "..\Emulation\Roms\etc" path for the files I've imported. So as long as that directory structure stays the same at the root of whatever drive both the roms and LaunchBox reside on, it should work fine, right? Either way, it's nice to be able to change the paths in the xml file, if necessary. -I haven't been able to get .m3u to work with compressed archives, so I'm just decompressing them now (instead of at runtime with LaunchBox's "Extract ROM archives before running" option). This is no biggie at all, I was just trying to be frugal with hard drive space. But some things are just more important -Portforwarding isn't TOO terrible, but I always have the best luck using a VPN like Hamachi for Netplay. I'll have to hash it out with a friend soon. Seriously, big thanks for all of your responses. LaunchBox is incredibly cool, and it's nice to know the support is also incredibly cool

Hi! Just got started with Launchbox (and RetroArch) and I really like a lot of the functionality and integration. Just having a few quirks: -How come when I launch a game in Launchbox, new config files get created in Retroarch? I'm having a difficult time keeping my settings intact. For instance, if I have a mame_libretro.cfg file, when I launch that core in Retroarch, I get a mame_libretro.dll.cfg in my configs folder, and I think the two are separate. Trying to change options globally (instead of per-core) becomes difficult, since there are now two separate configs for this single core. Is there a good way to tie the two configs into one with Launchbox? -Are there any shortcuts for keyboard navigation? Being able to type an "s" to bring the list to games that start with "S" would be a huge help in sorting these big lists. I know there's a search bar, but it would be so much more expedient for me personally to do that kind of quick-filter keyboard searching (that's how I'm used to filtering my game libraries already.) -If I upgraded to a premium license, would I be able to copy my current configuration / directory structure and give it to my friends as a license free version of LaunchBox? Specifically, I don't want to give out the license - that's not the goal here. I was just showing off LaunchBox to a friend and he was curious if I could copy my LB/RA/Rom directories and put it on his external drive, which would save him a lot of the effort in sorting metadata/configuration, etc. Would he have the premium version too, if I purchased it? Or is there a way to export to a license-free version? -These are more specific RetroArch questions, but maybe someone can help- if I have a bunch of Multi-Disc games in compressed archives (like .7z) to save space, does .m3u playlist functionality still work, or would I have to extract them? -Lastly, how is the netplay in RetroArch cores? Is it easy to configure? Sorry if this is a handful. I really like LaunchBox and it's making it super convenient with RetroArch to get all of my emulation sorted and configured. The last emulators I used on my PC were things like Zsnes, VBA, and ePSXe, which are all pretty ancient by today's standards. Using the combination makes playing all these old games like a dream. Even stuff like NeoGeo / CPS-2 just work, and are so neatly organized in my LaunchBox library. Thank you for all of your hard work, and any answers to questions you can provide!
