If its just a playlist it will be in Launchbox/Data/Playlist/whateveryounamedit just copy it out somewhere else and copy back later.

Yeah they are a English group, that is the first single off of there upcoming second album. Good band.

lol, not enough to have 660 copies of it. Edit Im working with him on PM to try and get it fixed.

lol , no worry's i thought it was quite funny, Zootopia is the last film alphabetically so i assume that has something to do with it. Thanks for your continued help and support.

@slipsystem Sorry me again. Here is a strange one, i thought now that i have the your plugin working that i would delete all my movies and start from scratch importing and scraping them all. They all imported fine as usual i then used ctrl a to highlight them all scraped with your plugin, and it turned every single movie (all 660!!) into Zootopia!!! lol. Any ideas??

That's awesome!! Thanks so much.

Thanks for bearing with me. Could i make a suggestion? When the box pops up for you to choose the correct film manually would it be possible to put the file name in that box? I had a few issues with two versions of the same film. Like Ghostbusters 1984 and 2016, and The Time Machine 1967, 2002. I have both versions of those films but didn't know which version the plugin was trying to scrape when that box popped up, so i guessed and may need to go back and rescrape them if i guessed wrongly. Thanks again.

Yeah all games are slightly different like that. What i would do is keep kempston as your default, and change it on the games that need something different. This is easy to do just load the rom and go to quick menu, change anything you want different for that rom then "save game override" in the quick menu. That will save anything you changed for that game only, all other games will still use your default.

Thank you for looking into it, ill download again and try that version, Thank You.

Yeah, but its a different new user every time spamming the same stuff, so i ban one and another registers and spams the same stuff again.

Yeah i deleted that post, i haven't given them a warning but will be keeping a eye on them. They seemed to of registered with a genuine username so benefit of doubt for now. All the chinese spam the usernames are just random letters and numbers so i flag the user as a spammer and there posts magically disappear, i am having to do that nearly every time i log on in the morning at the moment.

Yeah thats the stuff, 4 different users registered this morning and all spammed that university stuff in to the feed. I have removed it all now but it was sitting there for a while before i logged on this morning, it doesn't look great when legitimate new users register and the first thing they see is a load of spam. lol. Yeah if it had been reported i would of got a email about it and it would of been removed a bit quicker than it actually was.

Well i have just come on to the forums this morning to find it absolutely full up with spam on the activity feed. 4 or 5 different new users had flooded the feed with spam. If any users ever see this stuff before a moderator removes it can you please use the report button on the users thread or profile page. That way the moderators will receive a notification and a email about it and it wont sit there filling the feed for very long. Thanks all.

Yeah absolutely, was just thinking out loud. Should probably stop that lol.

Well i am on the latest beta 10 and it works for me i just created a platform called TV Shows and it added no problem. I wonder if launchbox is having problems writing to the xml for some reason?

I thought that if you added a platform via the manage platforms under tools it didn't display in the left sidebar until there were games added? Then when you go to import the games you can choose to add them to the platform you previously created. Guess i'm wrong though.

If i remember correctly new platforms won't show up until you add games to them.

Thanks in advance.

Glad i could help.

Hi, because the spectrum was a computer it uses the keyboard by default. Most games did have joystick support though and that support is usually kempston joystick. To enable it load a game then go to quickmenu/controls and switch "user 1 device type" to Kempston Joystick like in the image below. On most games you have to press a keyboard key to start the game with Kempston Joystick support see in the screenshot on Robocop you have to press 3 to start the game with Kempston Joystick. Hope that helps.

To be honest i would go as far to say that its not even tricky anymore, and is actually easier to use than several stand alone emulators that make you use a mouse the first time you set them up, then make you use command lines to get fullscreen etc...Retroarch just gives you easy controller access to emulators, but if you want to deep dive virtually unlimited flexibility if you have the time and patience.

Yep what @SentaiBrad said.

Retroarch as far as im concerned is far from a mess. The latest versions are great using the xmb fake ps3 GUI, everything is much better layed out also these days, and multiple controlers can be set up in the GUI. Absolutely each to there own, but current retroarch in my opinion is great.
