Yeah Launchbox wont know what file to specifically import as it will work with any file type. So just throwing a folder at it and expecting it to know what is actually needed isn't going to happen. And as @Lordmonkus said they should really be in a compressed format anyway, that just looks like a install folder ripped straight from a memory card.

Software lists are not yet available for import, but is planned. The new importer adds all working games to Launchbox with the default filters, of course you can uncheck various filters and it will import non working games as well, but by default every game marked as working in the current MAME release is imported into Launchbox, and clones are added as additional apps.

FBA runs better on lower powered hardware, so it does have some advantages.

Possibly, i just turned it off in Windows and Steam and was all good. I dont use pinnacle though, i use controller companion. As i say though, it's never been a issue on by system.

Weird, the guide button works just fine for me in all games/emulators on the latest drivers, just by turning the gamebar setting of in settings.

I dont think so, as you can see in the image i have the gamebar turned off. I do however have the xbox app on my PC which i use from time to time.

You can just turn it off in settings these days.

You dont get a prompt to restart, just go back after switching in the menu and it will change. Make sure you didnt unzip to a extra folder, so it doesnt look like Unified/Unifed then the folders and files inside that, it should just be Unified/folders and files.

Did you unzip them?

It's 0.202.

Yeah i know, was just making sure, and that by saying external he didn't actually mean a NAS.

Just bear in mind the box that @DOS76 recommended is USB3 only, it's not a "proper" NAS as such. So it will need to be connected to a powered on PC at all times in order to have access to it.

@DOS76??

Just pin the shortcut to your taskbar.

Yes, as i just said that was the beta, they are not there anymore.

The videos you have seen were of the beta, now that next is finished and it's just Launchbox those options are now in the menu.

You could also create a Platform category called Arcade Playlists or similar and put them all in there if you wanted.

Correct, the video needs to be named the same otherwise it wont know what video to play so wont play any.

Have you specified the correct core in manage emulators?

For the playlists just right click on them in Launchbox then go to edit then parents tab and add them under the Arcade category. For logos you need to refresh the cache, Launchbox and Bigbox use exactly the same images. In Bigbox go to options/image cache and refresh wheel images.

They will be in the playlists category, just use the dropdown in the top left to change to playlists. Then you can right click a playlist and go to edit then the parents tab and add it under the Arcade Platform Category if you so desire.

Try copying the mame.ini from the ini folder into the root MAMEUI folder.

Thats what the audit is for. Just click a platform and go to tools/audit name of platform, when the window opens you can click the tabs at the top to sort by that criteria. So click Video Path for example and all the games missing a video in that platform will be sorted to the top of the list.

While we appreciate the well intentioned offer a user should really use the official installers from microsofts website. As you yourself said And that is absolutely correct, but downloading it from a random guy on a forum is also a bad idea. I'm not for one second saying that the files you have are not legit at all, its just that users need to be careful where they get files like that from, hence we prefer to link the official place to get them rather than than have to go on the word of someone who with all due respect is a total stranger to the person needing the file.
