    Just so you know, the archive above we were discussing has multiple versions of the ones you are uploading. If you can figure out how to download that zip, you should have multiple versions of many of the subjects.

    Looks like this is the only one.

    No idea why you would get that. The file is totally fine. I just downloaded it and checked it and its contents. Do you have a different browser you can try?
  4. dragon57
    That is so strange. The archive has been downloaded quite a few times and this has never come up. Is this the URL you are using (see below)? I just clicked on the red download button and the Zip file downloaded with no problem.

    There should be one in the consolidated archive I posted up a few pages ago. You can find it in the download section.

    Sweet! Mystery solved. I totally missed that in the source. Thanks for that.

    This setting seems to work on all the custom builds that I have tried this afternoon. Everything but official MAME. I even have downloaded source code for some of those custom builds and I see nothing specific about this option outside of normal logic. Since I haven't used official MAME for years, and this has worked for me for at least the last four years, well, why switch things up now! Having said that, I was custom compiling my own nonag builds before that when I happened on this option on a random forum somewhere that for the life of me now, I can't recall the source of. Sorry to hijack the thread.

    Well, isn't that a kick in the head. Recent MAME builds from the official mamedev web site act just as you say. What does work are the other MAME builds like mameui and arcade64 using seconds_to_run set to 1. I actually don't ever use the official MAME build, and they one I have is quite old. Lesson learned. I'm now curious what other builds work and do not work with that set.

    While I don't have a Linux environment to use and test MAME on, I was given this tip long ago and I use it on all my MAME and variant installs on Windows and this has worked for me without requiring a 'nonag' version. In the MAME.ini file, I either add and change the seconds_to_run value to 1 and I get nonag type behavior. Something to try on your Linux MAME version.

    Yes, you are totally correct. I just wish there was a way to not have the + sign throw that error. I perform probably 100 searches every day and while the majority do not have names from various No-Intro, Redump, etc. databases, more than a handful do. Thanks for the reply.
  11. dragon57 started following Database search syntax
  12. dragon57
    Is the syntax for searching the Games DB posted anywhere? I use the search multiple times daily in my retro work and I have long struggled with knowing what syntax is acceptable. Most things are obvious and work just fine, but when I forget and paste a full game entry into the search field that has an actual + sign in it, I get a database error. Is there a way to include that plus sign as part of the search and not a search parameter?

    I don't have the cycles at the moment to update the archive and the pdf, but here is my jaguar mask.
  14. dragon57
    I wouldn't worry about asking. 😁 LaunchBox/BigBox now has so many settings and options that no one can keep up with them! While a searchable wiki or manual would be beneficial for both older and new users, development continues at a high pace. However, as a seasoned developer, I understand why this isn't a reality yet.

    I would check out this utility: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html

    It really depends on which categories you intend to download. If you select "All", that could take some time, however not hours or anything like that. If you are after a complete set, or as much is available, I would recommend downloading from the EmuMovies ftp site. That would not take much time at all. The MAME section is quite complete and currently hosts 117 archives.
