  1. Hey nothing wrong with having both! I love my RetroPie setup. I take it over friends houses all the time so we can arcade up on a bigscreen and take it anywhere.



    Problem is if you let it Retropie will chew you up and spit you out when it comes to incessant tinkering...lol

  2. ^^^ yeah, I could care less how to do it whether it be simple thru the GUI or otherwise as I am sure many here feel the same way. Win 10 brought some nice stuff to the table and I get the security aspects of mandatory updates, but force feeding new features on a desktop OS to me without an easy way to remove or disable or hell even opt out of is wrong.

  3. Man this stuff makes me almost scared to fire up my LB now. I recently was forced into the creator update too. I plan on blocking my EmuPC at the router to not be able to hit the internet anymore since you can't disable windows updates.

  4. It should be noted that if you do this you have to still indicate an emulator (despite the fact that it's not applicable) if you indicate it's a rom. Once the import is complete you need to edit the entry in your library, go to the emulation tab, and uncheck "use an emulator". You can do this en-masse as well if you import several this way by selecting them all afterwards and doing a bulk edit, telling it you want to "change the emulator" and then leaving the field blank.

    Or you can of course just press Ctrl + N / add game button and add the .exe in manually, search for metadata, etc.




    In this case as stated you can't use the import wizard when the games are not actually installed to the Windows environment. They have to be inserted one at a time manually.

  5. I was thinking and have discussed having a watermark or border to go around the art when a game has the broken check enabled. It would allow you to know it is broken, but rather than hiding it it would be visible to keep you aware that it needs follow up in the future.

  6. So as a further question

    If you have a bunch of SWF files, you can use the add files option and use the windows search to filter out and add all the SWF files. No clue if there is any metadata or media for them, but best chances would be under PC, so set it up as a Flash platform and scrape it as PC (or keep it in PC). You can associate an emulator if you want, or if you have the program set up as the windows default program to open up that file, with no emulator set it will just open up the default application as well.

    Ok, so on this note I have found that Abobo's Big Adventure for example runs on Adobo Flash, but it is packaged as a .exe.

     

    When you perform an import for Windows games is there any way to change the parent directory searched?  In my case the only windows games that I will be running will be those that are self contained (example Abobo's Big Adventure) which I am storing on a rom drive that I have.  I will not be installing any games natively to Windows.

  7. I personally could care less about integrating a separate app like RL. I would like to see the ability for example while in Big Box when I click on a game to have a window pop up with the emulators that I have listed in the system. It would be nice as well if the window was aesthetically pleasing to the eye. That is what I am waiting for. [emoji5]

  8. So I picked up Abobo's Big Adventure as an example.  I have it sitting in a directory on one of my drives, but it a stand alone .exe file.  How can I have LB manage it?  When I look at the wizard it says that it will do a scan for installed games?  This isn't an installed game and is a Flash Player Game at that as far as I can tell.  I am really hoping that I can have this integrated into LB (Fingers Crossed).

  9. This is where I saw a mention during a search about enabling auto-play of music, but how do you actually disable the auto-play music option altogether?  I have found that the db level of the music files in the DBs are all over the map and many I have retrieved have been so garbled that they make my dogs run to another room.  Ear piercing digital messes, yet some are awesome, but either super loud or super quiet.
