I just have two versions of dolphin, both in portable mode, one setup for normal use, and the other for VR. I have the normal Dolphin as the default emu, then i just right click a game and "Launch with" the VR version of Dolphin when i want to do that.

Are you having Launchbox move/copy your files when you import? And was you using the Tools/Scan For Added Roms feature?

lol, no, no it doesnt. Launchbox imports the files you tell it to, if those are in fact renamed then that is what is imported. Right click the PSP platform and delete it. Then go to your PSP roms folder, click one then CTRL A to highlight them all, then drag and drop onto Launchbox to start the wizard, finish that out as normal.

Everything looks OK for the most part. One thing that does stick out at me, but im not actually sure if its a issue is your rom path, it seems to have a full stop and a underscore before the rom name, so it's ._Wave Race. Is that actually part of the file name? If so try removing that so its just the game name as it may be interfering. Also in your first image i see what i guess are your PSP games. They have no images because of the horrendous naming on them. "Virtua Tennis: World Tour" is in your case named ".0160: Virtua Tennis: World Tour" There is no such game as that so our scraper cannot ID the game. Your Need For Speed is even worse, you need to rename your roms to remove all the extra punctuation and numbering. For Example my roms for PSP and GameCube, notice clean names and with any extra info like regions or revisions inside of brackets.

lol, its fine. I have seen people do this so many times that i knew immediately what you had done. People select the Launchbox folder, rather than the root folder Launchbox is in, so you get a double stacked Launchbox, and Launchbox starts automatically when installed, so you see the fresh install with no existing data rather than all the data you originally had.

You should never really mess with the xml files, there is no reason to do so. Also there is a change rom path option in the UI.

Reinstalling does NOT remove your systems and games. You have installed to the wrong location, likely inside of the Launchbox folder, so you likely now have a Launchbox/Launchbox folder, and you are launching the new one which has not been setup.

Hold the windows key on your keyboard and use the printscreen button, this will save nice high res images to your pictures/screenshots folder.

That sounds like the Retroarch message, not Launchbox. So you need to check your Retroarch details, the API and such in Launchbox is only for the Launchbox UI, the actual emulator still needs to be logged in as well.

Thats the nature of retroarch due to it having a overhead compared to a standalone emulator, as it has the whole UI running in the background while running games. It will also depend on system specs of course, throwing more power at the situation may make it fine in Retroarch as well. So a standalone will always have better performance, but that doesnt matter at all in 99% of cases as the emus generally are so easy to run. I dont mess with 3DS emulation too much as i just use a hacked New 2DS XL, for that, but its still a fairly new emulator and lots of games still have issues, so its not a perfect experience in either case. Retroarch does add support for a stylus on the right stick as well as on the fly changing of how its displayed via controller hotkeys if thats something you want.

You dont need to delete anything, just run the importer again to update.

The license is yours to use on as many of your PC's as you want. Easy way to tell is fire up Launchbox and does it have your license name at the top right of the window? As for the AV, disabling it may not be enough as it may already be quarantined, you would have to tell the actual AV to release that file.

Easiest way would be to close launchbox and delete the cache from Launchbox/Images/Cache-LB. Otherwise you will need to do it per platform by highlighting the games and hitting F5.

Yes, it will just update the existing files with the newer info.

You can just rerun the MAME importer pointing to the new location. Id uncheck all the media downloads and fill the new missing stuff in after the import to save a ton of time.

Its used to invoke the Launchbox pause screen, as MAME itself usually has full control of the keyboard, this allows the keyboard to actually work as a PC keyboard rather that what MAME is using it for. So you may find that pause screens dont work correctly for you now for MAME.

That wont help as its not Launchbox itself that is having the issue, its files written since the install. If you dont have a backup of the input.xml then you will just have to delete the one you have with Launchbox closed and let it re-create it on next Launch. This sounds like Launchbox was force closed, or your PC was shutdown while Launchbox was still writing to files after a exit.

Thats clearly a image of the FTP above, not the site. So you will need to get them there.

Correct, steam is the DRM and needs to be running when playing Steam games. Even when you launch a game directly from the Steam folder, it will still launch Steam first.

They will still need Steam running though.

It depends on the settings you use, as well as the region you specify, but i have 2852 imported.

need a tissue?

lol, nice catches i guess.
