    Personally i run all of those platforms through retroarch.
  2. neil9000
    That is the correct source, but its not the correct size, it should be 137.77GB.
  3. neil9000
    Dont do that, that tool is not for mame use, you cant mess with mame files, they come exactly as they need to be, all .zip files.
  4. neil9000
    how big is your romset?
  5. neil9000
    You shouldnt be scanning for additional roms for mame, you upgrade your romset, not add random games to it, thats a bad idea.
  6. neil9000
    Its working here, but is showing that LB has never tweeted, with obviously is incorrect.
  7. neil9000
    You can name platforms anything you like, always have been able too. Just remember to set the "scrape as" when you do so to the appropriate platform, in this case Wii.

    The database is community driven, anyone can add any game, so you could add it yourself and help other users out. Just make a account there and have at it. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/

    Not sure exactly what you have here, but mame roms are .zip, not .7z officially (although you can repackage, but the official packs are always .zip). Secondly, do yourself a favour and download the current set from the official place, just google "pleasuredome github" and get direct from source.

    More information about ""
    Cause they are named to the Launchbox standard not the Retrobat/EmulationStation standard, you would need to rename each file to match what your program requires. This is the Launchbox forum, so naturally they are named to that standard.

    You don't need to format to upgrade Windows, at least not for several versions of windows. Just create the USB boot drive and choose the "upgrade this machine option" and not the one that says "wipe and reinstall" or similar wording.

    Im slightly confused, but thats a often thing. Your original post was about the bar and the non finish of it, yes? Then the second bump post is the non download of the actual content?
  13. neil9000
    Try deleting that file and then re-open Launchbox, it should see the file is missing and add it back, if not you can just run the installer over the top of your current instal, it only touches program files and not your data so is perfectly safe.
  14. neil9000
    Oh agreed, never said it would be a easy step

    This may sound controversial, but couldnt a game be "locked in" at the point of acceptance, and at that point need a far higher accepts to rejects to "unlock it" so to speak in order to change important aspects like platform?
  16. neil9000
    Yeah as Faeran noticed it seems to of had its platform changed on the database from arcade to MVS, and as you titled your platform Arcade, as is default it couldnt find the correct game. The database is user contributed and approved, so this change was approved it seems when it should of been rejected, as changing it to MVS omits it from the Arcade search. As Faeran said, they will look into it.
  17. neil9000
    Ah, good catch. Yeah ideally that would be in Arcade only, i see there is a separate entry in the AES platform as that was the home console version, so no issues there. I'm assuming the same game entry cant be in two platforms correct? so it couldn't be in MVS and Arcade at the same time, it needs to be just Arcade?
  18. neil9000
    Try the alternate name on the database page, i wanna say it was renamed Metal Slug at some point, but my memory is a little hazy. https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/37606-metal-slug
  19. neil9000
    Agreed,
  20. neil9000
    I disagree with your interpretation of that. Developers and Publishers are two very different things, it was not unheard of in those days for people to just steal and republish games. Can i ask what your end goal is in this conversation, you seem to want accuracy, a noble goal, but we all do, so how is this better achieved in your opinion?
  21. neil9000
    Yup, shulda made that clearer myself, different publisher = different game, unless hard evidence to the contrary.
  22. neil9000
    Please also be very aware that trolls exist...
  23. neil9000
    Interesting, that should always be there as far as im concerned, ill bug @C-Beats on this one, knowing full well he has no control here, but better access to the peeps that do. Tool tips should always be available.
  24. neil9000
    Usually original release would take precedent, but back in these "old days" it wasnt unusual for different games to have the same name, or worse still the same game to get re-released, but under a completely different developer or publisher, there was some real wild west stuff back then. Do the best you can, but never delete/overwrite unless well sourced.
  25. neil9000
    This is how mine are, they just work in Retroarch with the correct kickstarts.
