My system is ok and Windows does know the correct runtimes it already has installed - thus trying to run install the latest results in asking to "re-install" not install from scratch and trying to install the old (the one that LB requests) fails because there are newer runtimes installed. The problem is that LB installer stops after that, where it should proceed (i.e. be a warning not a fail). But anyway, since I cannot get around it, I will remove the new runtime version, let new LB install and reinstall the new version. -
...seems I am alone here...

Latest setup requires VC++2015 runtime. This is fine. But the setup requires a very specific version (probably for no reason). Problem is we cannot just remove newer runtimes (that other software may require) to install older. It should be skippable in the setup (yes at the risk of the user) - like many other setup programs allow. To be more specific, LB requires VC++2k15 that is in "Visual C++ 2015-2019 14.29.30139", when I already have "Visual C++ 2015-2022 14.36.32532" (the latest AFAIK)... Please fix this as it is an issue that happens to people for years (!) with LB and as I said you cannot request people to remove newer versions to install older (and then maybe re-install newer - all the time)...

Guys I don't know if this solution works, but there is a newer version I already have and probably other software needs it. LaunchBox should use latest too! The download above is for Visual C++ 2015-2019 14.29.30139, when I already have Visual C++ 2015-2022 14.36.32532! There should be a way to skip this part!

New TOSEC is coming in the next few days btw. (I should know, I am part of the team - although not contributing much nowadays) Right now and verified by me (that I consider myself rather knowledgeable about C64 and its emulation status), C64 can very well be the most "practically" complete C64 collection. It does have 99% of "what matters" (in games). An interesting other project is OneLoad64, that is not a front-end build, but a nice collection of actual software easy to run (as they are all transformed to "cartridges"). Zomb and OL64 guy, actually collaborate too.

Βλέποντας τα παραπάνω, θα γράψω (και) στα Ελληνικά έτσι για το εφέ. (και αμφιβάλλω αν το google translate θα κάνει τόσο καλή δουλειά) Μπράβο για όλη αυτή την προσπάθεια, αν και έχει αρκετές διαφορές από το πως θα την έκανα εγώ (έχω περίπου 30TB emulation data), θα έκανα άλλες κατηγοριοποιήσεις κλπ. Επίσης μου κάνει εντύπωση ότι φαίνεται να μην βλέπεις τα έτοιμα projects που έχουν σχέση με τη συλλογή (και κατάταξη) των emulation data, όπως το TOSEC, no-intro, redump κλπ. Πάντως τα δεδομένα σου τα έχω για reference, είναι σίγουρα χρήσιμα. Keep up the good work. Also... what are these between the big screen and x-arcade?

Sorry had to comment this and is in no way a criticism, just making conversation... ...C64 emulation (in virtually any other stronger platform) is always one of the most elaborate efforts (given the publicity of the original machine). We are blessed with fantastic super-easy emulators nowadays that are virtually "click and there is your C64" or even "drag n drop this to run" (for people that don't remember the original machine so well). WAY better than some more obscure machines you have to be a computer alchemist to satisfy their prereqs. You get WinUAE (if on Windows for example), you are done. That's Just one of the many options (and probably the easiest for a user - before using a build like C64 Dreams - and most elaborate project). Of course C64 Dreams is all that you say it is. Hope it reaches 1.0 "this lifetime" (because you know, I am not sure I care if it reaches 1.0 when my own kids are adults) and we can then see a nice real Amiga Dreams. (not based on GameBase Amiga - preferably on AmigaVision/MegaAGS or DamienD collection) I do understand Zomb of course, he doesn't want to water down the quality and wants to do this at his own pace as a hobby that this is (we all have RL). (note there is an Amiga Dreams, by someone else, but in no way with the level of detail of this project)

You could make a guide too. Guides are never enough for people that really need to pay attention to detail.
-
You may want to join discord guys, as there is a patch for the RC.

Stalled at 99.9%!?!?!? Just 2MB remaining... like half a second.
-
Yikes. Hope it is fixed soon.
-
OK thanks for the feedback. BTW torrent is 14% and still shows no seeders...
-
Torrent is stalled in 3.4% with no seeders (!)... Also have to say (positive criticism) that I am not fond at all of the "VMWare" umbrella choice. Would much prefer categories by OS or something. Why VMWare? Why not QEMU, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, whatever. VMWare doesn't identify much, really (it's not even the best choice any more). But it is your decision, I am just commenting. Keep it up, your tree is a good reference.
-
It's always an interesting reference. Categories you don't use any more? Also two more "general" questions... I wonder, launchbox doesn't need platforms.xml also updated? Adding extra platform (separate) xmls, "replaces" this? Also parents.xml... doesn't that also need some work?
-
@Mcfly. thanks again for all the work you've done. A few questions please. Does your latest 2022 update "replace" older releases or updates them? (difference being if someone needs to delete the old or not) I suspect at least "Platforms" get replaced. I see 3DO is now Panasonic 3DO. So not replacing would need to a duplicate. (btw the company WAS named 3DO and the hardware was build by 2-3 other companies like Panasonic, so I believe your original naming was correct, not the Panasonic one) I see no updated zips for Images (Platforms/Playlists/Categories). Plan to add those? Videos are indeed huge, but would make a great torrent I believe (if you have them).

Not sure how this relates to the thread. Good job I guess, but better make a thread of your own?
-
Thanks. Will you post this update? (soon?)
-
Are you saying that you start launchbox, select a game and the game doesn't start but goes to a black screen and then goes back to home screen (list of games)? What is your PC configuration and your screen resolution?
-
Namec is very nice - love it. That said, it doesn't quite fit the current philosophy of C64D I'd say. Having a monitor-like bezel, for C64 would mean that C64 borders should be included, else it doesn't look like a C64. In C64D there is no "CRT monitor" emulation, so it can "get away" not having borders (for games that don't require them - Zomb knows these games). Would I love a V1.0 that has this "mode"? I definitely would. But I guess that's far.

Probably the maker of the collection will explain better, but since I am here... The collection is as complete as it can be for the version. (I hear new version is coming soon) It's not just a letter or up to a letter. BUT what he does, except personal favorites, favorite requests of other people, well known titles that just went in immediately because of that and any other game that comes to Zomb's attention... except all these, he is using GB64 as the basis of "completing" the collection. In other word except all the above "out of sync" additions, he also parses GB64 letter by letter (reaching Z will mark version 1.0 probably) and adds from GB64 ALSO. So getting it now, is "complete" and perfectly usable for the current status of the project, not "complete" in the sense of the final target Zomb has set. I want again to remind of the video sub-project (@Zombeaver maybe add this in first post?), that currently has two volunteers (and one has RL issues that slowed things down) and certainly needs more.
-
I want to remind everybody of the secondary project of video captures (according to Zombeaver specs). Any help is welcome.
-
I would like to invite more people to help with the video project, so that this very very nice collection becomes more complete.

Looks interesting, but two things: 1) I think you need to give more credit to original CoinOps creators (actually BP already noticed that and he is right). 2) Any plans to "port" Next 2 to LB? -
So, I have read things about RocketLauncher, how it started, how it evolved. Never actually used it, but see many people prefer to use it as "middleware" between the front-end (even LaunchBox) and the emulator itself. I wonder, what RL does that LB cannot? Is LB evolving to the point of eliminating any need for RL?
