Why do you find this a better solution than FreeFileSync? I was using OneDrive as I have 1TB+ space from being an Office365 subscriber, but didn't want to wait for files to sync to the cloud first, not to mention less granularity over what gets prioritized for updates. FreeFileSync allows fast updates; one way, two way, by date changed, however you want across your LAN. If you're looking to sync across WAN, I suppose a torrent type sync capacity is helpful.

I like lamp. [emoji12] Sorry, just enjoying the dev talk. I'd love to assist but I'm pulling hair out trying to finalize some projects for my own job.

Yes! Working through RocketLauncher. Excellent.

Current is 0.7j - I have 0.7i available. Lightspeed 07i.zip

Sure will, when I get back later today. Do you want logs from both applications, or just yours? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I appreciate the -g command; previously was just using -f and was only getting a gray screen with 1.6 now. By the way, I am a Patron (Patreon donator) and we're up to 1.6...where are you getting 1.6b? The public release is 1.5.6b - is that the version you meant? If so, the -g -f settings are required in 1.6 as well.

Log file is as follows: 160916 192639 >> ******************************* App started ******************************* 160916 192644 Game File not passed as last parameter or not passed at all {Last param: --fullscreen}. If it matters, attached also is error from Rocketlauncher.

Sounds good!

I have the logs from RL using PCSX2 and using LaunchBoxPCSX2. When I did a comparison, the PCSX2 log is significantly longer, mostly because PCSX2 is actually launched. Besides some initial differences (i.e. your application gives some details to RL regarding FileDescription, FileVersion, etc that PCSX2 doesn't pass) the only difference up until the log ends for the LaunchBoxPCSX2 version is where it says Module initialized - see below: LaunchBoxPCSX2: Modified: 9/12/2016 - 9:05:19 PM 16:27:52:161 | RL | INFO | +0 | Main - Running module PCSX2: Modified: 9/12/2016 - 9:05:19 PM 16:25:33:582 | RL | INFO | +0 | Main - Running module 16:25:33:747 | MD | INFO | +N/A | Module initialized After this the PCSX2 log continues for about 2600 more lines. The LaunchBoxPCSX2 log ends after the Main - Running module line and the LaunchBoxPCSX2 error box comes up. For the record the application info section differenece (which I'm almost positive is irrelevant) is LaunchBoxPCSX2: 16:27:52:116 | RL | DEBUG | +16 | CheckFile - Attributes: FileDescription Launcher in between LaunchBox and PCSX2 enabling Game-Specific Configuration amongst other things FileVersion 0.0.0.

@Eirulan @Jason Carr Gentlemen, Is this already a topic in the Issues/Suggestions list at BitBucket? I'd like to vote it up if so, but could not find this specific topic. Came here looking for just this capability in light of the new platform videos being produced by some members. Lots of good ones, and the ability to have multiple copies, much like how the game videos are done (i.e. game-02.mp4, game-02.mp4 or platformName-01.mp4, platformName-02.mp4) would be great. Lets us use all the great submissions, and doesn't get stale by viewing the same video consistently.

@XoRRoX Is there any reason it wouldn't work when launching through RocketLauncher? Works fine when I replace the pcsx2.exe in the file execuatable command in LaunchBox, but in RocketLauncher when I point the emulation file location to LaunchBoxPCSX2 instead of PCSX2 it (LaunchBoxPCSX2) gives an error box saying "Game File not passed as last parameter or not passed at all." I'm guessing the ahk file for launching PCSX2 passes some additional information for PCSX2 after the ROM file, which is messing up LaunchBoxPCSX2's expected command.

D'oh; I'd been working with both Dreamcast and Saturn updates in RA. Mixing up the cores isn't going to help anyone. One comment on Saturn; I was looking at @lordmonkus's YouTube on Mednafen for Saturn, and commented that I could not get the Mednafen core to work in RA, although the games worked fine with the Mednafen stand-alone. I had the correct Saturn BIOS files (confirmed through md5) in the RA/System directory but it would just kick me back to RA (or Launchbox) whenever I'd try to play a Saturn game using the Mednafen core in RA. Turns out that somewhere along the line my RA stopped looking in the System directory for BIOS file by default. I posted a quick solution/tips on my site if you need details on how to specify the correct folder for RA to look for the BIOS files. You can set it either universally or per-core. http://www.timekills.org/2016/09/09/mednafen-core-for-sega-saturn-emulation-through-retroarch/ As above, Mednafen is no contest the best Saturn emulator right now. The RA core is a little limited in controller emulation (IIRC it does the standard/analog but not the digital controller emulation) but that is temporary.

This is perhaps a bit off topic, but your point #2 (better stand alone emulators) may be true for a short time, but that's the beauty of RA's cores. Most - definitely most significant - stand alone emulators get a core version in RA. So you're getting the capability of the stand alone with the convenience of a common configuration for controllers, adding visual effects, etc.

Tracking; the formatting on Tapatalk made it seem as if it were all a one line command. I figured you hadn't missed that, but after trying to fix problems/debug for hours I've often over looked the "duh" solution. [emoji15] [emoji34] [emoji9] Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

To be clear, when you load the Dreamcast Saturn image through LaunchBox using RetroArch, which *core* are you using? It sounds like you might be using a different core than the (new) Mednafen. That would explain why it works, but slowly. Yabause core is less picky than the new Mednafen, but also significantly slower.

Did the original statement still have the semi-colon ( ; ) in front of it? Because it would not be executed if it did, even if it would have worked. I.E. the original statement might be fine if the ; (which makes it a comment instead of active) is removed. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

@ckp I didn't see a feature request for migrating multiple files inside a zipped package when "Extract ROM archives before running." Although I'd think that would be the default action... I'm sure @astoufu would vote it up.

I assume you saw this thread, and specifically this post:

Will do. Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed a pre-existing setting. Thanks to both of you for the assist. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Request: BigBox remain active when not application in focus. Request: Multi monitor capability - while remaining active while not in focus Mods: Might suggest moving or deleting this thread; adding to feature request through LaunchBox. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original post below: Is there a way to have BigBox attract mode continue to run when a different application is the focus application? If not clear, I mean when you run LaunchBox/BigBox, including when it goes into "attract mode", it will pause if you switch to a different application. On a multi monitor setup I'd like to have it still run while I'm working on something else on the other monitor. Is there a setting I'm missing that has it pause when focus is switched?

I wonder if it's looking in the temp directory for the .gdi main file, but then going back to the original directory for the associated files. Similar to if you let LaunchBox move the game file to the Games directory under LaunchBox it will only move the one file you associated with the game, not all the additional files needed. You could test it by only zipping the .gdi file and leaving the other files uncompressed in the original directory. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

When the zipped file is decompressed, are all the files in the temp folder, or just the *.gdi file?

libvlccore.dll CRC32 info -from LaunchBox: C6735500 -from VLC (64 bit) 2.2.4: DD81F577 Although different, you could rename your libvlccore.dll in LaunchBox to "libvlccore.dll.old" and copy your libvlccore.dll file from VLC. I'd be interested in seeing what the CRC32 info for your LaunchBox libvlccore.dll is. Perhaps it is corrupt.

Can you play the offending videos in VLC outside of Launch/BigBox? I too used K-lite in the past, but over the years have also grown to prefer staying away from codec packs.

All my Dreamcast compressed files are CDI in 7zip. As long as its 7z or zip you're fine, but I haven't tried formats besides CDI.
