  1. As far as I know (and I'll be very happy to be proven wrong) MAME is still the best choice when it comes to IIGS emulation. As for some games that don't work, a bunch of games aren't actually bootable so you need a HD setup with the OS installed or a boot disk with ProDOS on.

  2. You could just edit the .xml files with a text editor. find F:\ and replace with O:\

    Symlinks are also good though. My LaunchBox thinks pretty much everything is on f: but my actual games are spread over 6 HDs.

    Edit: Even though LaunchBox makes backups, you still might want to manually backup your xml files first before editing them with a text editor.

    I'd stop your trolling now if i was you.

    Possibly a bit harsh, I think he's coming across badly because English isn't his first language. Also there are 2 different versions of Cabal which are coloured differently to each other, and the US version does have some sort of counter at the bottom of the screen.

  4. Sounds like you're using the RetroArch VICE core. First of all, please bear in mind that RetroArch is not part of LaunchBox, the money you paid is for LaunchBox/BigBox. RetroArch is a completely seperate (and free) program; and as Neil already said: "Launchbox is just a launcher, it has no control over actual emulator settings."

    But to (hopefully) answer your question, try pressing the right control key on your keyboard and that should switch ports.

  5. After a little bit of playing around i realised that GameBase doesn't automatically name the screenshot, it can be any name, but in each picture selector for each game there's an auto rename button which names it as I listed above. You can change the gamename after but the filename won't change unless the author changes it. I still think most GB authors used the naming system though. As for illegal characters such a : * etc, the auto rename function just blatantly ignores them rather than replace them. Oh and yes, each gamebase has it's own paths.ini

    Anyway Dillonm is doing a great job with his explanations, it's been quite a while since I really used GameBase..

  6. I didn't create the GameBase program, but I did create GameBase Amiga. GameBase basically has 4 user defined folders. Games, Music, Pictures, Extras; but after that the layout of the files is up to whoever authored that particular GameBase. For GB Amiga's games it's just 27 folders 0-Z, but the folder they're in can be called anything and located anywhere as long as the user defines it in the options. Same goes with screenshots, but the way GameBase names them is by changing all spaces to _ It names the files after the name of the database entry (regardless of the game filename) and it appends numbers at the end, so for instance take the game Awesome, screenshots will be named Awesome (usually the title screen) then Awesome_1 Awesome_2 etc etc.

    Hope that's of some help.
