    with the new launchbox version having additional playslits like 2 player and fighting playlists for Arcade MAME games can we get silver sring logos for those?

    They are on my todo list. Having said that, I will be taking some time away from the Internet very soon because of medical reasons. I'm not too sure when I'll be able to get to them.

    Just noticed something, but could have been like this for a while. I just tried using a custom background in LaunchBox. That appears to work fine, except when I select any game, it changes the background back to the default.

    Put this as a feature request on the bitbucket page.

    Also something to keep in mind "those frontends" you speak of would be HyperSpin and its flash supported clear logos. Flash is a dead and insecure tech which no one should be using anymore, you shouldn't even have it installed on your system.

    Thanks, I'll put in a feature request.

    And no, I'm not referring to Hyperspin, although animated wheels are the latest feature in Hyperspin 1.5.1. Anything with Hyper in the name gives me hives. :)

    Looks like I'm in business again. After a few hours, beta 9 seemed to be out there and LaunchBox downloaded it. I am guessing server load, or something.

    I nuked all my playlists and had LB recreate them and all seems ok on that front now. Thanks!

    I just noticed I have a number of duplicate Playlists after upgrading to Beta 9 and redoing my MAME metadata and Platform import. The lists that are duplicates also have different amounts of games in them, so they aren't true duplicates across the board, but they exist and if you edit one and try to hit OK without changing anything, LaunchBox tells you that you can't have duplicate Playlist names.

    Any suggestions as to how to clean this up without getting into worse trouble?

    Arcade cabinet and PC/Device

    in Monkeys

    Actual recommendations will probably need an estimate of your budget for a PC itself, not including anything extra like a cabinet, arcade type controller, etc.

    As far as size goes, you can go with a small in size unit, as long as it has the right kind of cpu, memory, and graphics capability, or a larger, desktop tower unit with basically the same components as the small unit, but will more than likely give you more expansion abilities, i.e. storage, more efficient cooling, etc.

    Redundancy???????

    I have had a 'three' copy backup of EVERYTHING I do for quite a while. I just lost a drive for my 2nd copy volume, so I need to decide what I'm going to do going forward. A lot of my drives are beyond their normal life expectancy, so I need to do some GB/$ calculations.

    Why three copies? Read this: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/

    I have learned from hard experience over the years working in IT that one backup only is a mistake. You eventually will have a multi-drive failure across purposes of use that gets you right where it hurts. I know some people have never had a data loss, and I congratulate them. Me? Not so lucky.
