cleverest

I'm at just over 41k games, all english, euro exclusives/japanese exclusives, and selections from jap only platforms (ex: sharp x68000, NEC PC-FX), 100 of those total are ps3 and wii-U games...too big... I need a NAS to grow it.

I'm jealous Sundogak. I really want to get a Synology NAS setup myself...even a 24TB usable 1-drive parity set up would be amazing. (x4 8TB). I feel so small scale despite my collection, as it only fills up an 8TB external HDD.

@cammelspit Thanks... What does it look like when you have a drive failure with that many drives you're bound to have them more often... so what does it take for you to repair/tecover your "giant drive" without a hassle? Is there is a performance hit too?

I will be building up to a 4-port Synology NAS solution in the new few months, planning on x4 8TB drives, running paritiy 1, so 24TB space total. I hope I can afford it, haha.

You think real-time compression formats like .GZ (ps2) and .GC (gamecube) would benefit greatly, over say, just a large .ISO?

Leaving side caching the images folder/cache + manuals + videos on a SSD, which obviously do help, do any platforms/games actually benefit greatly from SSD? I can't put them all on SSD, most will be set up on a 4TB SATA USB 3.0 drive, but have about 200GB SSD I can install certain emulators/game sets on...which ones will I see the most gains from? Thanks.

Here it is...normal view in BigBox...every other Platform shows up...

Yes and they work fine, it's just invisible in BigBox.

I have it listed in LB under Aracde Platform Category, in Platform: Teknoparrot arcade, even downloaded a video for it (generic arcade one for now) with the download platforms option, but when I browse BigBox it's not there. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance?

That works, more or less.. I described in following posts, that copying every folder (my media and games, etc) works fine in new folder....until I copy that CEFSharp folder....on top of that, some Playlists and Platforms corrupted XMLS...not sure what caused it 😞

I remember this used to be an option in oolder builds...for some reason this is crashing my Launchbox with a VLC error quite often, so I would rather disable it, but I can't find that option in 9.9 Anyone?

After copying over some platform and playlist XML from my original image of this drive, it opens and mostly seems fine, except I keep crashing with this: UGH...any ideas? I open VLC in the Launchbox x64 folder and it wants to update...I said NO...should I let it update to that place? This is the error, I'm getting in full: Can't create a Vlc instence, check your Vlc options.

I copied over all except CEFSHARP and now I get this error on the second drive trying to open it

The one crashing it was CEFSHARP...the two folders are identical except I have a folder in my working one named with Asian characters..could that be doing it?

By creating the same folder on the drive, renaming the old one to something else first, I got it working...the issue happens when I copy/move over the folder to the new LAunchbox folder I installed into called CDRDAO and CefSharp...WTF do they do? I started the drive without those and they seem to recreate them just fine...is this going to change my collection between the two drives? Any help appreciate @Jason Carr - it may be resolved now, just want to check....
