  1. Have you tried changing the Sidebar font in Options?
  2. I just tried Dreamcast on my new Windows 11 laptop using Retroarch and its Flycast core and my Dreamcast chd games boot right up with no issues. Your results are quite strange, I just say. Do you have the Startup screen option set in Launchbox? If so, that might be masking any errors you may be getting. You didn't specifically say you tried this in Launchbox. If you haven't, try it there and see how far you get. I would be happy to assist if I can.
  3. Damage, have you listed those things out already, other than Shredder's first post, or is that basically it? If so, I must have missed them in the past, so point me to the post. If not, list them here and I'll try to answer your question. I'm not trying to be vague on purpose. At the time of my decision to drop RocketLauncher, I didn't have a set todo list of items I wanted to extend in to, but if I had decided to stay with RL, I would have just taken things one by one until I was satisfied. Honestly, my decision to switch over to LB fully was because the RL devs stopped responding to the forum, direct contact, you name it. While a couple of users on the forum tried to support with updating modules, it just wasn't enough, plus no source code was released from the RL devs. Shredder, as far as the 'extra' folders getting created under certain conditions, if that is a hard line in the sand, then you will never be happy. This has been mentioned quite a few times in the past, and the devs seem open to changes IF enough support exists from the majority of the user base (we all vote around once per year). You can request a feature under the Help & Support area at the top of the page here on the forum, but I am almost sure there are requests for this already. Again, it is a matter of agreement from the user base.
  4. I'll add my experience converting from Hyperspin and Rocketlauncher long ago, for what it is worth. I also was a big Hyperspin/Rocketlauncher user and supporter back when those developments and forums were active. Like many here, I tried the free version of Launchbox and saw promise. As Launchbox matured, I decided to switch. I continued using Rocketlauncher by following the Launchbox and Rocketlauncher integration info from the Rocketlauncher forums. While this did work after editing platform names on the Rocketlauncher side to match what Launchbox used as standards, I eventually moved away from that approach as Rocketlauncher stopped being developed and supported by the devs on its forum. Moving away from the old environments to a total Launchbox/Bigbox one has been overall very satisfying. It does take time to adapt, but that is the way of things in any world requiring certain applications to support a particular task. I have been an application coder since 1981. While I could continue to extend and develop myself in supporting my old Rocketlauncher installation, I decided anything I developed would probably be specific to my needs and not necessarily useful to anyone else. To me, asking for Launchbox to extend support for a dead application isn't productive for the vast number of Launchbox users, and I understand why this was never done. I would recommend joining in the forums here, be patient as you learn and use the products here and have fun gaming.
  5. <launchbox installation folder>\Data\Platforms. The file is most likely named Sony Playstation.xml or something similar.
  6. What I did when I performed a conversion like that was to exit LaunchBox/BigBox, then use one of those text editors like Notepad++ to mass edit the appropriate XML file.
  7. Everything in the chain should match naming wise, so I would rename the file in the zip and give that a try. There is no easy way to update things. That bezel set requires a rom set that follows the No-Intro naming standard, so you could try finding a recent No-Intro set and see if that roms work better for you. There should be little to rename, if any, that way.
  8. You don't have " (USA)" in the name of the rom. Have you tried that?
  9. Look under the ...\LaunchBox\Data directory. Please make a backup of this directory first and also make sure LaunchBox and/or BigBox aren't running.
  10. I submitted all my additional videos to the Launchbox team before the deletion happened, and I have just verified my files should be integrated into the Platform video download option in the Launchbox Tools menu. What I can't verify is all my videos are integrated today. They should be, and my random creation of platforms that would match my videos in the above video download option was successful. To your actual question, no, I will not upload the files to systems that have proven to be unreliable. It takes hours to upload all these 4x3 and 16x9 videos. That is something I can no longer justify. Sorry for any inconvenience. You should be able to download the videos from the Launchbox video download option.
  11. That link is dead for reasons that are best forgotten. After the deletion mishap here, I uploaded all the Nostalgia additional videos to the Emumovies FTP server and referenced the new path on their ftp here in the forums, then someone at Emumovies deleted all of my and other people's submissions. So, sorry, there is no location for those videos. A message on the EmuMovies forum said the deleted files would be restored, but that was months ago and the upload directory is still missing as of this date.
  12. I have just uploaded V1.1 of my archive collecting all the user-submitted files to this thread. Apologies for accidentally deleting V1.0.0 and needing to recreate a new thread. I have updated my old post above, as well as posting the updated link below. Please read the comments in that thread and remember to make any related comments in this new thread, not here. I hope this upload is useful in some way.
