i tried to move Launchbox and emulators/roms on an external HDD (a USB one, powered by the PC, not an HDD with its own power supply) and i just updated to 13.18. Well, perforance are great! Both LB and BIG BOX runs really well. I tried to launch several emulators like PS2, PS3, Switch, 3DS, and they quickly start! Well, so i decided to keep my LB and emulators folders on an external HDD, as it work really well for me. Currently i'm trying a Toshiba USB HDD: https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0BMGXKH4W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I could buy another one like this or this 6TB HDD with its power supply: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B093WXKMLS/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H&psc=1 Probably this is the better choice as it has its power supply...

thank you! Yes i need to upgrade my internal HDD where i store both LB and all my emulators/roms as it is almost full. I will look for a good internal HDD, possibly better than the current one I'm evaluating if it could be a good solution to move both LB and roms/emulators from the internal to an external HDD: if i will not notice particular issues related to performance, i will prefer an external HDD as i can quickly move it on a different PC thank you again!

thank you! Well, when I say "launchbox is slow" i'm talking about the user experience on launchbox, I'm not referring to performace issues related to access games. I'm referring to startup and navigating aroud. For example, before to disable the "Non-Local Related Games option", the startup was really slow and navigating around games it was slow too. It requested a lot of time also when i right-click on a game in order to choose the "Edit" option. Now, disabling that options, Launchbox is really faster! I will evaluate if buy a new external or internal HDD as the current one is full, i need a 4TB disk I will search for a good HDD model, but it is quite difficult to find a 4TB HDD with 7200rpm for example...

well, currently i have 13.17 version...the automatic update doesn't update it to any newer version..i will wait for the official release In any case, now performance are better than before, disabling the option i mentioned above! Do you think that if i buy a bigger HDD (a 4TB instead of the current almost completly full 2TB) i could have additional speed? Do you think that moving my lauchbox and roms/emulators folders in an external SDD drive like this : https://www.amazon.it/dp/B08RX4QKXS?tag=marketital068-99167-21&linkCode=osi&th=1 could be a good solution too? Or is it better to have an internal HDD (an internal SSD unfortunately is currently too expensive for me...)? thanks!

oh many thanks, it is very useful! I had already unckeced the Storefront Imports option. But ow i disable the Non-Local Related Games option and the performance increase significantly!I'm not able to find the "Save Management" option in Tools --> Option --> General. Is it in a different place now?thank you

Hi , i have a desktop PC, with a SSD as disk C (where i have my OS) and a 2TB HDD where i put all my emulators, roms and Lauchbox. Currently LB becomes really slow, i don't know why-...My HDD is almost full, do you think this is the reason? Does i need to change the internal HDD as it is too full and for this reason LB becomes slow? I'm evaluating if i could buy an external 4TB HDD instead of an internal one, whre to transfer LB and emulators/roms, but i don't know if this choice will solve my issue related to the LB perfomance... Which could be the cause of the slowdown? thanks!

thanks, i'm evaluating HDD like this one: https://www.amazon.it/dp/B08J4DSV3Q?tag=topit01-op-1869-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1 or this one: https://www.amazon.it/TOSHIBA-HDTB440EK3CA-Canvio-Basics-Portatile/dp/B07KPM58FX?th=1 They aren't so expensive and usually i use the usb cable included... The SSD is really expensive: https://www.amazon.it/TOSHIBA-HDTB440EK3CA-Canvio-Basics-Portatile/dp/B07KPM58FX?th=1 but of course it could be a perfect solution... Do you suggest any particular model? It isn't easy to find external hdd at 7200 rpm... Someone suggested this hdd too: https://www.amazon.it/Seagate-Portatili-Creative-Fotografia-STLC6000400/dp/B093WXKMLS?th=1&ref_=nav_custrec_signin It is less compact than TOshiba hdds, but it should better and fasteras it has its power supply. If possible i wuld like to buy a really good hdd, but not an ssd... What do you suggest? thanks

Hi guys, i have a desktop PC, with a SSD as disk C (where i have my OS) and a 2TB HDD. I currently saved both my EMULATORS and LAUNCHBOX folders into the 2TB HDD. Well, my HDD is almost full, so I need to change it. I'm evaluating if i could buy an external 4TB HDD instead of an internal one. In this way, i could move both my EMULATORS and LAUNCHBOX folders into the external HDD and i could use it in different PC or share it with my friends. Do you think that a 4TB 3.0 (or 3.1-3-2) external HDD could be fast enough to quickly load Launchbox/BigBox and to run all the emulators (PS3, Xbox, Wii U included)? Or is it better to buy another internal HDD and replace the full 2TB one with the new 4TB? As external HDD I could buy this one: https://www.amazon.it/dp/B08J4DSV3Q?tag=topit01-op-1869-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1, it is a 3.2 hdd. My pc only have USB 3.0 port, i hope that it could be fast enough...or not? thanks!

hi, ah ok, thanks!

ah ok ok,. understood. THanks. YEs it is a good workaround but i have a lot of games..it is necessary a lot of time I hope in the future will be implemented a feature that can do that thanks!

thanks. I'm sorry but i haven't understood...please can you show me a screenshot? thank you very much!

thanks! but i need a different feature: i would like to know, in general, which are the duplicate games present in my collection, i mean games that i have added for multiple systems For example: I know that i have guilty geak isuka for PS2, Dreamcast, naomi, etc... But i would like to know ALL the games i have added for multiple systems. Is it possible? thank you!

Hi, is it possible on LB to find games that are present on multiple platforms? I would like to know if i have imported the same game on multiple systems: for example, Guilty Gear XX. I have it on PS2, Arcade, Dreamcast, etc... Is there a function to do that? thank you!

Hi guys, if it can helps, in the current Launchbox release, in order to run cartridge games (-crt or .prg) that don't automatically start, it is only necessary to add this line into the specific settings of the game:

Hi i installed latest Vita3k emulator with the game Muramasa Rebirth: as the game was in folder format, i zipped it as suggest and i installed it. After that, i did the same with Title update folder and DLC folder. The Title update is correctly detected and the game works fine. But the DLC aren't detected at all, even if they are present into the right path: Anyone know how i can fix this issue? I'm sure DLC are ok as they work on original PSVITA/PSTV... so probably it is necessary to change anything? During vita3k installation i choosed not the default installation path as i prefer to have the installation folder into the same emulator folder. Do you think this could be the problem? I think no... thank you

thansk, i tried as you suggested and i tried with all the different ram blocks combination, but i always have same error... i tried the others games with different ram settings, but i always have same error...:( Anyone know how to fix it? thank you!

please, anyone can help me? thank you very much

How can I configure the emulator to run them? I only have 4 working games until now Thank you very much

hi, anyone know how i can fix this? thank you

now it works! I didn't change anything... and i can control the ball with mouse! Now i have only to solve the issue with Alien Mind: it doens't save the 2nd disk game and i don't know how to save it again. I tried to add 2nd disk both in Read only or read-write mode, but after the title screen, there is the sound "tac-tac-tac" for some seconds and then black screen...if i reboot the game, the 2nd disk game is still missing: Do you know how i can fix it? thank you!

Hi i have just configured WinVice in order to play C64 games. How can i import it in LB and how i can correctly load its C64 games? In addition, is it necessary to perform any action to automatically load Disk 2 (and 3 or 4, if available)? thank you!

thanks! now it starts. But it appears this message: and if i push INITIALIZE, it appears this: what i can do? thank you!

thanks, i modified the command. Now i have this error: i don't know why...

hi, thanks! #2: well, i don't find the hacked version yet...as mine version isn't playable, i can delete it, it is useless for me... In any case i tried to change the command line as suggested, but it doesn't start, there are several pop up messages like those: I added the apple2g1.zip file into the roms folder: but it seems it doesn't work... thanks!

yeah, with MAME 0.262 it works again! Many thanks! I only have 3 games that still have stange issue. Alien Mind: strangely it doens't save the 2nd disk game and i don't know how to save it again. I tired to add 2nd disk both in Read only or read-write mode, but after the title screen, there is the sound "tac-tac-tac" for some seconds and then black screen...if i reboot the game, the 2nd disk game is still missing: 2) Future Shock 3D: in order to run the game it is necessary to double click on FS.SYS16 but now i'm not able anymore to retunr to the previous screen...: 3) Out of this world: it requires both the System Disk image anche Disk 1 and DIsk 2. But i don't know how to set up the 2nd disk: thank you!
