Perfect and emulation is a contradiction in terms. If it looks good then stick with it, because if you max out settings for your setup it may be OK on the few games you test, but might not work across EVERY game on that system. Stick with what your setup can manage comfortably. Also you will find that you may have to use different cores on different games to get the best results if using RetroArch. Alternatively, check out the new standalone Duckstation emulator for PS1, as it is currently able to go up to 8k if that's what you are looking for and is simple to setup.

You are correct ..... You do have OCD !! ? ps, good luck with your efforts.

Nice quality , thanks for the share.

FACTS are FACTS, (or used to be once upon a time) I will get my stopwatch checked, as it must be faulty ! ? PS, I couldn't have cared less if they were faster or not ...... BUT I DO NOW ! Here is some info: IDM would make download faster If the server (where you are downloading the file) is slow. Because it create multiple thread and try to download simultaneously and combine them later. There are two cases IDM can make download faster. The server is busy and many are downloading the same file.

LOL ?? Glad to see that real evidence that it's faster made you decide NOT to get one !

This obviously means a lot to you, so I took time out to do a small test. I just done a 200mb test file using browser then IDM. The browser took 37 seconds and IDM took 30 seconds. Doesn't seem like a big difference, until you try to download a file like Flashpoint 9.0 (478gb) that I downloaded yesterday. IDM took hours off that download for me. PS, I used a stopwatch on my phone to do the test, so unless that time is "exaggerated" too , then I am going to assume that I am right so I will continue to use IDM

Check your Windows updates and make sure you are fully up to date. This usually happens when you are using a clean build of windows. Get it fully up to date then try installing it again.

If the browsers download was running at full speed you would be correct, but the don't always do that. I am only going by files i try to download without IDM and they are snail paced in comparison, running it through the browsers own downloader. Once it's taken over by IDM, it's much faster. Maybe it's just me. I have used it for years and it's good for me.

I disagree. Leaving downloads to just run normally through browser is much slower than using IDM for example. It is also better to manage your files, but also much faster.

I have found that it looks for logos in either the default theme logo folder, the themes own logo folder or the main images/platforms folder. Just check all 3 and see which one it's looking at, as this is probably your issue (as I have found on every theme I have tried)

Use powerpoint, very easy to make your own themes (as long as you can find media for it)

Even if you could make it work, it would be so small it would be as mentioned above ...... pointless.

You are just embarrassing yourself now mate. Stop crying about it and move on. ??

IDM is the best, but unfortunately not everything in life is free.

You name it, I probably have it. Example: PS3 - 10TB PS2 - 4TB XBOX 360 - 10TB Nintendo Switch - 2TB MAME/Gamecube/PS1/PSP - 2TB Nintendo Wii / Wii U - 3TB XBOX One + PS4 (uses pc games) - 4TB Saturn Europe /USA / Japan - 1.5TB And on and on .....

This video is 2 years old. Use MAME romset zip files for Atomiswave games and flycast core on RA

Maybe having 200 emulators is my issue TeknoParrot and particularly Gamesloader will always have issues in my experience, but if you are saying you do not, then good for you. If you only have a few systems, you may not have found any issues, but I literally have 40tb of setup, so have experienced the lot, and easiest solution is to set an exclusion for me.

TeknoParrot works fine, but as with ALL emulation frontends, you need to set an exclusion in your anti virus/windows defender for the drive that your setup/emulators are on. Otherwise you will find certain files being quarantined and emulators getting stuck in the background.

Meaning, you can't download from them all at the same time. You can use on any computer, just not all at the same time for obvious reasons (obvious meaning you could give it to anyone and they could all login at the same time)

Yes you can, but not all at the same time.

In my experience you will find as you work your way through the games many won't load using CHD's (1,800+ on PS1) as I found when trying to convert to CHD. What people usually do is try a couple of games once converted and assume they will all work, but they don't. Bin/cue for me are the best, but as stated, for multi disc I used pbp. Also PCSXR stand alone emulator is also very good. Also, try these other PS1 cores, as you may find you need to mix them up for specific games: duckstation_libretro.dll mednafen_psx_hw_libretro.dll mednafen_psx_libretro.dll pcsx_rearmed_libretro.dll

I think we get the point that you are not happy. Maybe look at your computer rather than Launchbox. if this was an issue with Launchbox itself then everyone would be saying it in these forums. Look at your Windows Defender settings (set exclusion for Launchbox and emulator folders) , make sure your pc is updated fully and also any other programs like anti malware, virus etc to see if they resolve your issues. As mentioned before, you obviously don't know emulation if you think it's all about the frontend and not your computer. 99% of issues are usually down to the computer and NOT the frontend.

I recommend keeping all your games as bin/cue within the zip file For multi games, I converted all my games to pbp format, as keeping them bin/cue they don't work in multi games for RocketLauncher using RetroArch, so probably the same with Launchbox

Use RetroArch or Mupen64Plus emulator Project64 is dated and the 2 above are much better.
