    Thanks , time or money^^btw how do you a screen recording?

    There is actually quite a lot of software available such as fraps, OBS and bandicam. Windows 10 actually has a native screen recorder in their xbox app, called Game DVR.

    how to get videos in LaunchBox

    Or, if you have the patience, you can do a two-minute screen-recording of all your games, and then just put that video into the correct folder (as an example: launchbox/videos/NES/Super Mario Bros 3.mp4). This is what I do, but it is quite time consuming if you have a lot of games to do all at once.

    Playing multiple roms similatenously?

    I helped someone getting two emulators playing Pokémon at the same time - I guess the same principle applies, but it's not straight forward. You would have to create a script for each selection of roms that you want to play at a given time, in advance. Meaning, that if you want to change roms every time you play, you would have to alter the scripts. Also, the emulators need to support background input from the controllers, for it to work. Meaning, the window doesn't have to be active, for it to receive input. Honestly, I think it's actually more easy to just do it manually, as Jason said.

     

    Do I need an EmuMovies subscription?

    Artwork is supplied, if it is available in the games database, which are being contributed to daily. Videos are not included, however you can add any videos you'd like, i.e create them yourself. I started with a small library, and every time I add a game, I create a quick 1 minute video. You can download some videos in the downloads section of this forum (note: plural "downloads", not "download"). I'd love to share my videos, but I don't think there is an option to upload them to the database as of now.

    RetroArch's Genesis Plus GX core not allowing lightgun crosshair

    Ugh... Ok, now I'm running into major issues. I can get the crosshair to show up now, but I can't "fire". Left or right clicking the mouse doesn't fire, and neither controllers will get the game to "fire" or select a thing. So I thought to troubleshoot and make sure other lightgun games work. I went to Duck Hunt for NES, surely this should be easy and work right away.... NOPE. same thing, the mouse moves the Zapper crosshair around but I can not click to fire. Is there something really wrong with my system? I downloaded a new Retroarch build, just incase and its still the same issues. I'm starting to pull my hair out at this, playing Duck Hunt via emulation shouldn't be this hard.

    Did you ever figure this one out? I'm in exactly the same position as you. Cursor moves with the crosshair, but can't fire..

    Edit: Nevermind, got it working using another emulator, called Meka :)

    New Fields

    in Features

    I've added a custom field for how long the game takes to complete, based off https://howlongtobeat.com/. I think I even saw a plugin that scrapes info from that site and inputs it to launchbox? I may be wrong there. I also have a custom field for "In progress", which i just set to true or false, and then have a playlist based off that. It would be neater with a checkbox, though :)

    Sega Lightgun

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hey! I recently upgraded one of my computers from windows 7 to windows 10. Unfortunately, this caused one of the emulators i'm using to not work anymore. It's an old emulator, and I only used it for one specific game - Safari Hunt for the Sega Master System. My question is if anyone has any suggestions to other emulators worth trying, or if RetroArch supports lightgun games? My lightguns are Ultimarc Aimtraks, if that matters :)

    Making .bat file to copy and rename an image

    in Noobs

    Ah, my bad, I should have explained better. Even though you got it fixed now, I'll post the instructions on how you would use it:

    You would need python installed on your system. You can check if you already have it installed by opening the command prompt, and typing python --version, and pressing enter. If not, you can download it from python.org. With python installed, you can copy the code i pasted above into a text-file (using notepad or similar), save the file as copyimages.py, and then just double click the file :)

    @dragon57 posted an elegant answer in batch while I was in the process of writing a python script for the same purpose. I figured I might just post it anyway :)
      

    from os import listdir
from os import rename
from shutil import copy

path = 'C:\\Users\\Dane\\LaunchBox\\Images'
imagefile = path + '\\1.jpg'

folders = [f for f in listdir(path)]

for folder in folders:
    try:
        copy(imagefile, path + "\\" + folder + ".jpg")
    except FileNotFoundError:
        print(folder + " was not found")
        continue
