Looking forward to the video! I myself still prefer ADF because I never used a HDD back then in my A2000, only floppies and it just doesn't give me the same "nostalgic feeling" - if this makes any sense (probably not) But I'm open for "new things" and maybe I can learn a thing or two about WHD handling with this guide. I know how to make them myself and have a full ClassicWB installation running with lot's of them startable via Workbench, but this is of course nothing that can be integrated into Launchbox (but - this way of doing HDD installations again feels "authentic" to me ) ... Just a small follow-up from my side: I still plan to do the updated version of the exporter to let you choose which variant to export, but as this requires some REAL programming, not just hacking down 50 lines of code, but to populated UI elements with data and handle user actions, this can't be done in roughly an hour like the first version and I don't see myself doing this before the end of next week. I'm on heavy load in the office at the moment and this weekend is already planned with other stuff. So please be patient :-) I've started works for a new project today, which I will attempt to do after this: a fully automatic ScummVM importer, and I have plans on doing something similar with W95/98 games run through PCem, but that's still far on the horizon ^^

The period bug should have been solved already in 6.9 I think @Wutex mentioned it somewhere in this thread and I think i tested it and it worked

Tested 2.8 now too... Correct save management does not work for me, neither with Launcher.exe nor with Programs\Windows\x86-64\fs-uae-launcher,exe So my workaround-launcher is still needed, unfortunatelly...

I wasn't aware 2.8 is out, when did this release? I'll try it out asap. Thanks

These are perfect, thank you very much!

Well I wanted to see the notes, so I altered it this way, which works: <StackPanel Grid.Row="0"> <!--<TextBlock Name="Details" Text="{Binding Path=Details}" FontFamily="Calibri" Foreground="White" TextWrapping="Wrap" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" />--> <TextBlock Name="Details2" FontSize="20" Text="{Binding Path=Notes}" FontFamily="Calibri" Foreground="White" TextWrapping="Wrap" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" /> </StackPanel> But now i heard it is possible to set the fields to automatic scrolling in the new version, how do i do that in this case..?

Okay I just added two games to the database via the website and I have to say - this is extremely uncomfortable... To be honest, I don't know if I want to do this in the future, and I'd really would like to contribute.

Btw my post about this on EAB got completely ignored... :-) Either the guys over there did not understand what I wanted to explain or simply nobody gave a damn :-)

Well, there's not much to see here - it's totally unspectacular and only tries to deal with something that in my opinion is a bug in FS-UAE... Hopefully Frode Solheim fixes this in future releases so that those kinda hacky workarounds are no longer necessary...

So here's the launcher app: This one does the following: searches in FS-UAEs database for the game+variant name for the given uuid alters the "config_name" entry in the settings.ini to this value starts FS-UAEs launcher and passes the uuid closes itself System requirements: This again uses .NET framework 4.5 but since you all are running Launchbox, all here should probably have that installed. This is ONLY tested with the latest dev builds!! I am running 2.7.16dev. UPDATE it's working with 2.8 stable too. You need to have logged in to FS-UAEs database You need to have a populated local FS-UAE database I think at the moment the program does not run properly if the settings.ini does not contain a "config_name = ..." line of code already. So be sure to have at least once started a game from within FS-UAE. I'll look into that. Program probably crashes if the below mentioned paths are not correct, at the moment there isn't much error handling built in. The app does not need to be installed and can run anywhere, put it into the FS-UAE folder or not, doesn't matter. Instructions how to use: Extract the archive attached to any location you like. IMPORTANT!! Open "Launcher_uuid.exe.config" with a text editor, you have to set the location of the launcher.exe, launcher.sqlite and settings.ini in here. put the full path and file names here. Launcher.exeis located in the FS-UAEs install directory Launcher.sqlite is located in the "Data\Databases" subfolder in FS-UAEs install directory Settings.ini is located in the "Data" subfolder in FS-UAEs install directory After that, just change your emulator entry in Launchbox and replace "Launcher.exe" with my EXE (launcher_uuid.exe). Be sure to keep "no quotes" and "file name only" settings. Cheers... Launcher_uuid.zip

@DOS76 thank you. Wow - that's unfortunate. Would make the whole process much more convenient if you could edit the data in LB and it syncs with the DB. But that's maybe technically just not possible at the moment...

Thank you - so it isn't contributing when I edit things in LB and upload..?

I was under the same impression because Jason said in this video there's a "three step review" for each added element. Isn't this the case any more or never was..? ... and a probably dumb question related to the above said, forgive me, I'm new here: How exactly do I contribute to the database? Is it enough to just use the built-in upload/backup function or do I have to do contributions on other ways..?

Thank you - I'll try how it looks in Bigbox

Ah - I did not see it's white on white I guess one with the eclispe will be very hard to do, so I think I'll take the one above. Thank you!

I don't see the Zork image above, it's just a blank white space. I'd prefer one with the whole solar eclipse, if possible.

Hi, - Raptor - Space Quest 1 (VGA Remake) - Zork Nemesis ...are the ones missing Thank you

I was just kidding, sry ^^

You should *.zip them, that's even faster, haha! ^^

It's "...Libretro.dll", not "...Libreto.dll" Maybe this is the error..?

@ckp then I misunderstood, thanks for clarifying.

I also made a post in the official fs-uae support forum, maybe someone there can clarify... http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=1111974#post1111974

Isnt rar a commercial program that has to be licensed, especially when wanting to distribute it with your own program? That would kind of eliminate the idea to publish it bundled with LB...

Jepp, correct. Has to look like this: I found a solution for this - I'm doing a small app as launcher that does the job before launching FS-UAE - I have to do some coding and testing but nothing too complicated, will be out tuesday i think This launcher-app has to be set in LB instead of Launcher.exe then. Cheers...

Thanks :-) Guess this just needs some more time.
