    When I originally posited this question for this post, I didn't really concern myself with motivation. Someone's psychology and their desires for being a completionist aren't AS interesting to me to be honest. I simply wanted to know what is truly the biggest collection out there, especially one that could be said to be utter quality and not riddled with duplicates and nonsense, like beta, demos, garbage hacks, etc... For me in that quest, I'm now up to 62,000 gaming titles and over 2,500 retro gaming magazines, comics, and strategy guides. The biggest limitation for me are the larger platforms that are huge... PS4 is starting to become emulate-able, so that's not even factored in at all in this collection...and then of course, there are a heck of a lot more PS3 titles that could be added to mine that won't fit unless you have a collection of large drives or a NAS to play it off of; but the latter always causes severe performance drops managing it (in my experience), so I'm sticking with external drives; a 16tb in my case, with all platforms possible using the best lossless compression formats for them;, which even makes this count possible on this drive.

    This makes the game launch fine, but auto-bind controls don't work. How do I make it so it launches as if I clicked this button in the UI?
  3. cleverest
    Yeah it's a bit of a shame it's overly complicated, as it has hands down one of the best Castlevania 1 game versions (probably the best) on any platform.
  4. cleverest
    Yes... You can mess up the state of the game, and I haven't used this platform in a long time since writing this guide So I'm a bit foggy on, but I do recall that you can make it so that it doesn't auto-save when you close it. recommendations is just get into the habit of not using save states... I believe you can manually save through the menu if you want to, but also remove any sort of hot keys or shortcuts for it.

    For the record, I converted 156 Amiga CD32 titles and they were 29.8GB before, but are now only 14.7GB - YAY!

    Yup, that was it! WORKS. Thanks guys! My final working batch command is: for /r %%i in (*.cue) do chdman createcd -i "%%i" -o "%%~ni.chd"

    *UPDATE: Thankfully it seems that Retroarch plays the .CUE if I use the original game folder/files instead of worrying about converting it... Although it would be nice to convert and use them as CHD to save some space, if that were still possible...from what I see so far though it does NOT preserve the WAV files in the process of conversion.

    There is no way this is preserving the WAV files. Look at the file difference between this CHD vs. the game with WAVS I tried it, it PLAYS, but it's silent except for SFX.... @Rlad how did you convert Alfred Chicken, and are you sure yours is using the original WAV files?

    That is great news. I'll try it. To answer the folder/CUE content question, this is one example:

    Yes, the Amiga Retroarch core (puae) does support CHD files...that is how my CHD games which do work in Retroarch for Amiga CD32 work currently (the ones in that format). My concern is that if I convert the ISO's I have to CHD, it won't also integrate the audio (WAV) files from the games that have... 😕 I guess I need someone to chime in who has done such conversions and what it takes...something like powerISO to maybe integrate the ISO with the WAVS, etc..? No idea... Thanks for the response.

    How will this handle games that have ISO CUE and some WAV files in the same folder? (these are Amiga CD32 games)
  12. cleverest
    The games are either ISO and CUE alone in a folder, or ISO and CUE and some WAVS (for some games), no BINS. I'll look into that, thanks.
  13. cleverest
    Ideally, I'd like to convert these games to CHD (hard drive format), like many of my other CD32 games are...what tool do I use to accomplish this against each folder, as most of these ISO game folders also contain .CUE and .WAV files Is there a guide somewhere for this? Thanks.
  14. cleverest
    Not 1G1R, right? Does this count Includes beta, demos or all language versions of a game possible?

    ^ Also, I cannot get this working on my large 62TB LB collection... I choose the data\platforms folder and it always stops here. I am using a mapped drive to my External USB HDD @ L:\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms, which I can browse fine in Windows Explorer, but I just tried it again, and same issue. Help? Ideas?
  16. cleverest
    Can someone explain what LIGHT MODE and Enable achievement data does?
  17. cleverest
    I'll check it out; there is always a tool you never heard of that is awesome, lol... Chris's proposed tool already saved me 35GB in my video folders (not LaunchBox stuff, just general media stuff), so this sort of stuff is valuable to know...ultimately for those running it on drives with their LaunchBox data, it may lead to larger collections (as per the theme of the thread) 🙂

    It does do CRC matching (free version), I just tried it on some videos at least....
  19. cleverest
    Is it worth it vs. manually doing it? ...or using another program? Find a free alternative. If you cannot, at least you have that option available.

    I wish there was a way to know how many TB a 1G1R set would be for all playable systems/roms, with no hacks, betas, alt dumps, etc....I'm at just under 16TB currently with my own with over 59k gaming title and I feel like I can't add much more except later systems that require much more disk space (and way more PS3 titles). I can't imagine it's much larger than this....
  21. cleverest
    Sorry for the confusion. After the first one failed pulling metadata at the end of Imported the ROMS, I closed it. And re-started LB. Then I ran the download all metadata in that arcade category again (choosing the option to only update missing ones) to make sure it completed (grabbed it all)...since it won't complete though, I guess I won't ever know 😞
  22. cleverest
    I restarted and every time I pull my media down for my full set it gets about halfway then freezes again. Fixes?
  23. cleverest
    I am stuck here. I replaced my arcade ROM set (MAME 0.203b) with MAME 0.260 (latest), and then I ran the import wizard and it seems to be complete...almost...but it has been stuck here for a long time now. What do I do?
  24. cleverest
    Nice list! I'm curious if you have a 1G1R set or if you just add anything you can to each platform? I just have 61.7k games, but I only have English titles, translated to English titles, Europe Releases for platforms if an English (US/World) release isn't available for that game [that part needs some cleaning up], and lastly Japanese titles if they don't exist except in Japanese platforms (such as Sharp X68000, etc), and no beta/prototype sorts of games unless they ONLY exist in such a format (for EX: Primal Rage 2 for Arcade) How "clean" is your complete game list?
  25. cleverest
    Sorry this is so late...it's correct, I'm just counting flashpoint as ONE game (the launcher), and didn't include it's individual games as games in my set...
