And i personally know that from experience, im "shitlisted" there, so yeah just be careful.

Well, it's MAME, so yes its the real version.

Yeah you need to seed back, thats the rule of any private tracker, usually you want to seed back at least as much as you have downloaded, so a 1:1 ratio. Like this MAME here, its from a different site, but the file was 566GB and i have seeded back 4.59TB, so i have a ratio of 8.3, because i have seeded more than eight times what i actually downloaded.

Google pleasuredome, thats where the current sets are, they are a private torrent tracker though, you MUST upload and maintain ratio or you will very quickly be banned.

Not strictly related to these betas, but i'm still getting the issue of video snaps in the sidebar blowing up and cropping to a quarter of the actual video file. How it should look. And what happens, it seems to zoom in on the top left of the video, but also enlarges it so that it overlaps the text below. Latest beta, using VLC as the video engine.

Do your settings for dolphin match these, specifically the command line part?

Do your games work in the emulator by itself?

Everyone also has different hardware though, so what works for one person may not work for another. There is no one size fits all for emulators that emulate such new systems. In fact i would actually go as far as to say that a large portion of our audience dont even have the hardware capable of running these systems. So then then question is, even if it was feasible to add to Launchbox, how useful would it actually be to the userbase in order for us to dedicate time and money to developing said feature.

Why would you even want to, our database isnt complete? There is no point auditing against something that isnt complete, and our database is user run, so there are also bound to be tons of mistakes and spelling errors in there. Its really not ideal data to be using as any sort of audit data.

Thats not true though, that would only be accurate if every time Launchbox was rolling a number it was on the same game, but of course it isnt its always rolling a number from a different game (excluding the first roll of course). So it is actually more common than you would think to hit the same game. If you had 1000 games in a platform and on the first roll Launchbox picked 300, you would of course see a different game, but then if the next roll it chose 700 as the number, then you would be back at the same game 300 + 700 = 1000, in that case it still chose two completely random numbers, but because the starting point is different the chance of hitting the same game is higher, If the roll was always starting from zero i could see your point but its choosing a random number roll from a previously random roll position so the chances of hitting a already seen game is actually statistically higher than if every roll started out from a zero position. Im not saying that there isnt potentially something wrong here, just that the very nature of something being random, and started from random points is always going to look somewhat not random as you will hit the same outcomes.

If it was to be programmed so that the same game wont show twice, then that is categorically not random.

Actually that is exactly what happens if something is completely random,

Second monitor, or themes that have arcade cabinets with changing marquee depending on the game.

Launchbox does not provide any games, you need to supply those yourself. Letting you download games from the program would be hugely illegal.

You can change the default core used by editing the game, but you would need to do it one by one. Just right click a game and choose edit, then click the emulation tab. There is a checkbox here to "use a custom command line" check that then add the syntax to load a specific core in the box. So for example, -L "cores\core_name.dll"

You can add any platforms you like to that list, just scroll to the empty cell at the bottom and double click in it. Remember to name it exactly as you named the platform and then select a core from the core dropdown which is next to every platform, thats a double click also and will list all the Retroarch cores you have downloaded.

I would recommend downloading a "No-Intro" collection. They are known good working roms and have standard rom naming across all the platforms they support. In fact the Launchbox scraper, while it will do its best with any naming scheme, was actually coded with No-Intro naming in mind. Here is a example of the naming, it's just the game name, and any extra info like region or revision is included in brackets. Our scraper will note that extra info, but exclude it from the game name as displayed in Launchbox.

No. You need to add Arcade and the core you want to use for it to the associated platform tab for the emulator.

Its quarter past twelve and im sweating my tits off down here on the south coast.

Not how i read it, but maybe.

Only by changing back to the old theme, or using a custom one.

Never used the CTRL B before, but i just tried it here and it launched into Bigbox just fine, and using the correct theme.

Which emulators? I have just tested Retroarch here and that works just fine as usual, no elevation prompt.

Tools/Options/Updates.

Just install 11.2 over the top. To be fair though these are betas, they can and will break, if you dont want that, dont use beta software.
