hier is an example, this playlist popped up after I added the Metal Gear Games to it I will send you the specific zip file in a few seconds. ---- addition: different topic: I moved some of the video folders to another driver on my PC. and now I am asking my self, even with changing the folder paths to the new section LaunchBox is generating a new folder in the former root area. example: I have the LaunchBox/videos/Nintendo 64 folder. I moved that folder to another HDD, so the old folder is no longer on its initial place. BUT later I will have an empty folder on the exact place again - I found out that the same will happen will all media folders. is this a new issue and why is this happen?

Even with a game in it the playlist will sometimes not shown in LB under platform categories

There are some strange translation in the German language file. The same Englisch word is translated differently. Example: complete is sometimes beendet, sometimes komplett. I saw this while I was checking the new nested folder feature and was unsure what the autofilter options really mean comparing to the game detail screen in LB

Inhaber sometimes the issue that after making a playlist for one platform that LB is not showing it. In the Data folder I found the file,plus i am not able to build the same playlist again because it is there but not showing up. in lb the list on the left side is sorted after platform categories. If I set it up to show playlists i can see some of the playlist and everything looks correct configured but still nothing in the other view. also strange is that if I change something in the games, like set one game as a favourite, it will not autopopulate in the specific playlist. is this an issue or something already known?

Hi Jason, this Playlist feature ist great. I am diving into this and I like it. Just from the workflow perspective: is it possible to copy and paste the playlist to different platforms? I will organise each platform with four Playlists (favourites, "not hide", completed, and hide). and to do this each and every time is a bit annoying and maybe there is a simpler trick but I overhead this in this thread. also very helpful would be if I choose a Plattform (as an example) there would be a dropdone choosing possibilities (like in the retroarch emulator settings is available). good work, I start to like this launchbox more and more. next big thing for me would be a overhaul of the GamesDB

For games you can suggest to delete it through the database after three approvals (or 5) it will deleted

Looks interesting

I have nearly all my games now converted to chd. saves a lot of space. mostly I check the emulators from tetroarch but I assume demul is still best

There is a menu (forgot name) for that where you can download metadata and artworks once for all selected games. This should make it easier for you

do you probably have Vulkan as a Videodriver activated while Muppen is only working with GL?

I am unsure how I would like the new MAME importer, because I don't want to test it with my 0.194 set. btw: is it possible to add and update the MAME Arcade System Playlist like cps1, model 1 and so on? there are a lot of not really implemented systems like Namco 21, Namco 12 etc etc AND systems Like CPS1 and 2 are not completed - I had to manually add games to these systems too.

Sounds great. would it be possible to put the controller check into another thread so it would not impact anymore current used controller? (just thinking out loud)

can you see these artworks in Launchbox?

Are you from Germany?

this is a known issue if more than one game with the same name is in the database. @Jason Carr have an idea how to solve this quick

Not yet

For pc games I often just rip some smaller videos or trailers from YouTube

It also depends on the emulator you want to use. Most of the system i have are in retroarch, and there is also a per game setup possible.

there should be some tutorials out there where you can see how to set up rocket launcher without any front end, and a tutorial how you can connect a already set up rocket launcher with Launchbox. more interesting would be why you want to go with rocketlauncher? maybe the pros are already in launchbox implemented.

welcome to Launchbox. 01. do you mean details page in Launchbox or in Big Box? in Launchbox Detail Screen (the Sidebar) you can configure which of the given fields should be shown and which one not. there are also Fields for Series. in BigBox it depends on the Theme you would use. 02. I assume not. But you can use a sort field, so you can beside the name of the game use a sort Titel like the Game Resident Evil: Code Veronica will sort in my playlist as Resident Evil 2000, to fit the chronology 03. you can jump directly to a specific letter by pressing that letter on you keyboard. in BB you have a slider to jump directly to the wished letter 04. it is possible, depending on the artworks and the theme you want to use. some themes also have the wished information without going into the detail screen. 05. if you want to use it on a big screen only with your joypad, I recommend big box. emu movies is very helpful to get best quality artworks and movies for most of the games (not all). regards, Chris

I would like to see more functionalities and an upgrade in the Database system. All the fields in Games DB should be aligned with Launchbox, some fields new a rework like Number of Players or Country, also would like to have controller type and some other things as an addition to this. Also setting the country to each artwork would be helpful. have a few more ideas for an overhaul there. it would also be very helpful to have a upload link from Launchbox to GamesDB with fields and artworks because the plugin is sometimes really unstable and I assume there is a better and more fluently working integrated solution possible, like the community ratings and so on. I am also missing a better Artwork audit functionality within Launchbox. something like the third party tools already can, but with a lot of hiccups. I am dreaming of choosing a system, than the game and style (Clear logos) and I can see all logos next to each other --> can easily add some or delete some, also reassign to another type of artwork or different country code (i.e. from North America to Japan). this would give LB/BB a better look and more potential in not having double or dribble time the same artwork in the system with slightly different MD5 hashes... saves space, makes all clearer, and more fancy. also rethinking about the audit system of Games DB things would be good. a lot of strange stuff are now in the system as well.

Hey... if I remember it correctly Launchbox does not get Meta Datas from Steam, only a few Artworks and Videos will picked up there. Metadata comes only from Wikipedia or from Launchbox Games DB. If the game is not in the GamesDB you can add them there and after an approval it will be available for everyone.

I am thinking and doubting it now for months. first I am a collector who wants to have all the games, but it is way too much. so I will try to handle it with the "hide" option. so I can hide the games which should not shown in BigBox... maybe this will help, but at this moment It is to complicated to hide the games. and in audit it is no flag who shows me if hide or not.

Thank you, even frustrating with MAME... do you have some helpful hints for me, please

really nice. I only have a small Subwoover but for the bass feeling I have two bass shakers in my sitting area ? for the bassy feeling
