Nice to see you here Craiganderson. I was missing all your crazy systems. I too have been trying to setup some of the same systems (AAE, Vectrex, Dice, PC=Engine, PC-Engine-CD and so on) with mixed results. I think it's because I'm still learning the ins and out of this FE. The Launchbox Database needs a bit of an upgrade. Hopefully that will happen soon.

PC-Engine and PC-Engine CD need to be separate from Turbograx-16. These are not the same systems. The PC-Engine was released 2 years prior to the Turbografx and as such has a lot of exclusive games. Hyperlist shows that the PC-Engine has 294 games that can be fully playable without knowledge of Japanese that were never released on the Turbografx-16. It also lists an additional 118 exclusive games on the PC-Engine CD. Not only that but the artwork, covers, carts and so on are completely different. They look weird together with the Turbografx-16. These 2 systems really need to be separate. The Sega Genesis and Magadrive were released at the same time with the same games. Not so for the PC-Engine and Turbografx-16.

I'm trying to add some of my PC games to launchbox but if I click Search for Metadata and it doesn't find anything, the game doesn't get added. I tried filling out as much info as I could, cliked OK and nothing. Does launchbox not allow for games to be added manually? Hopefully it's just a bug. I'm using ver 6.3 beta-1 Edit: Never mind. I'm retarded. I didn't pick the platform. It's all good.

Bedwyr, Given that the Hyperspin community has been super friendly and even provided Jason with the API to share all their artwork with Launchbox for free and the RocketLauncher team is working to create a plungin for Launchbox, again for free , I would say it would be really insulting to everyone making the cross over or even those of us working with both front ends to be told to take a hike. Same goes for Emumovies which is essentially the same community as Hyperspin. You cant have all our art work and enjoy the fruits of our labour and then tell us to stay over there. At this point in time, there will be a lot of crossover and a lot of people going back and forth. That's life!

I don't fromlostdays said I didn't see this addressed, but you can certainly use your HS media for LaunchBox, at least, I've done it with boxes and videos. You can even leave them in your hyperspin folder, you just have to set the path (and be sure to refresh). Also welcome Keltoigael. I don't see a way of changing the background on a per system basis. This really should be addressed. Using fan art is ok but not ideal. Maybe I'm missing something. I've only been playing around with this for a couple of hours. I background on a per system basis is something that is really needed. Fan art just doesn't do it for me. Most is not that good anyway.

TJason Carr said Hi @Styphelus, they should go under Windows. Sounds like we might have a glitch though...nothing should be showing up under PC. What process are you using that is making them be PC? Thanks! :) Tools > Import > Windows Games After the scan, everything ended up under PC. No biggie.

When I scan for my PC games, they get automatically added under PC, however when I add a new game manually it defaults to Windows. Which is the proper place for them?

Is there an option to automatically link all the manuals and screenshots in rocketlauncher with Launchbox? I added SNES last night but it seems to me that you have to add the manuals manually for each game. It's a pain. There has to be an easier way. What am I missing?

kerszr said Any one got a famicom system banner? I checked this whole thread. I can only find the american NES. It's the one above called "Familly Computer". Those logos look really familiar. Any former Hyperspin users here?
