    The latest MAME update (0.260 non-merged) was installed over an older non-merged version and is stuck at the very end... help?

    Im slightly confused, but thats a often thing. Your original post was about the bar and the non finish of it, yes? Then the second bump post is the non download of the actual content?

    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 😞

    *Updated Jan '24* | 714 Platforms | 701 Playlists | Over 880,000 Games & More | with Updated Zipped Platform & Playlist .xml folders and Platform Icons. Will this ever end?

    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?

    That can't be right. Fllashpoint Ultimate alone has well over 170.000 titles as of Version 11.1. Version 12 should come out soon with even more titles.

    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...

    My collection is 16TB. All smartly compressed real-time formats for games... I have exodos, win3x, scumm, Flashpoint (although that needs updated badly), and about 2,300 video game mags/comics and I'm still barely over 62k I believe...I think I'm missing some rare platform odd-ball collections mostly.

    A complete excel spreadsheet of all the games... I'm not entirely sure how I'd do that tbh. I've never tried importing from .xml to a spreadsheet, I'd need to look into it. 
    SiriusVI's reply above is correct, I've searched in (too) many places to find everything and smushed everything together. Some sets I've downloaded might be 100GB only to give me an extra game or 2. I'm still missing a bunch of SNES titles.

    I didnt see an XML download for this...where is that? That would work. I just want to browse your collection....

    You have like 4900 SNES titles!  There were only like 800 (US) that were made, so how are you missing ANY? You mean in certain languages or hacks of them?

    Trying to buy a premium license for someone and it will only register the license in my name - why not add a "name" field as well as the email field?

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I'm trying to surprise someone with a premium license and a small collection I've made for them to gift them for Christmas, (yes, I'm buying these licenses from the official site, and I was planning on some more this holiday season for more people...maybe), but obviously having my name plastered on the registered licenses is not going to work out; I can't just change the name field in the license and have it still be functional.

    Is there any planned future support for accomplishing this? I'll just wait until I can bother...this seems like a glaring omission to not allow people to gift licenses...

    Setting up Pinball FX3 to launch directly into tables

    Hi There

    i’m having a problem loading to individual tables I am doing it the same as I did my pinball FX2 and it’s going straight to the main screen I have had a look for the steam .exe

    but I can’t find one is there anything else i can do as when i have set up pinball fx2 it goes straight to the right table

    Also is there a way that when I exit the pinball FX 2 games  it will go straight back to launch box instead of having to go all the way back through the menus to exit pinball FX2

    images and video attached 

    thanks in advance

     

    I don't believe you can launch into specific tables with FX3 without a special license. (unlike FX2), but If you or someone else figures out how and verifies it working, please let me know how. Thanks.

    Launchbox on Steam Deck

    So I got you order in on Monday. (Finally!) was hoping we had some more info on LB/BB for the deck. I’m still pretty new to the emulation stuff and figured getting a collection ready would make it easy to just transfer stuff to an sd card for the deck.

    Emudeck is the best way to get stuff like this on the Deck....until an official LB version for it comes out at least; IF it ever does.

    I have a custom made 16TB LB collection myself. (Taking up 15.5TB of space)...I recommend going big if you're going to do that, haha

    Filters allow you to quickly navigate to the games you want to review/edit. Then just select all the games you want to make the changes to and CTRL+E to open bulk edit where you can choose what fields to remove and what fields to add from all the selected items

    Yeah my request was more for an actual editor, somewhat similar to how the media/dupe removal tool looks, where it pops up another window you can type in the genre, a publisher et cetera and it will display a quick list of the games, and allow you to make very rapid bulk changes to multiple games using multiple criteria via one screen. 

    Not really the same experience how it currently is, but thanks.

    We have both the side bar and on the fly filters (button next to search) already for all of those fields so you can do what you are describing

    Filters will allow direct editing/changes to bulk games? I can add several genre tags to multiple games quickly this way? I need to double-check but last time I tried, it was very clunky.

    We're Hiring Again!

    We are looking to hire another developer with a focus on web and mobile technologies, specifically in the .NET/C# realm. This developer's focus will be on:

    • The LaunchBox Games Database website
    • LaunchBox backend web administration tools
    • LaunchBox and Music Box Alpha's main websites
    • Integrating the various LaunchBox websites together
    • LaunchBox for Android
    • Various other future projects

    Some sort of knowledge/experience regarding C# web and/or mobile development is required. We are open to both developers with more design experience and developers with more backend experience, but knowing C# is a must, and Microsoft SQL Server is a big plus. However, we are a very flexible team with many different talents already, so often we are able to adjust our focuses as needed to make the best use of available talent.

    We are also open (for the first time) to a possible part-time position, though it would eventually move to full-time in that case (this is not to say that we are not interested in hiring full-time straight out of the gate). We all work from home and primarily communicate over Discord, so the location is not overly important, and we're not asking anyone to move. A decent home office situation is important, though, because of working from home.

    Every single member of our current team has come from the LaunchBox community, and we have a wonderful team at this point. If we've learned anything in the hiring process, it's that hiring folks from the community is the best way to go. So we're reaching out!

    If you're interested, feel free to comment below, but also reach out to us via email at support@unbrokensoftware.com with your resume and examples of your experience. Feel free to reach out with any compensation requirements as well, and we can discuss. We look forward to hearing from you!

    Do you have any slots to fill for a remote computer repair/maintenence technician? 🙂

    chd compression support PCSX2 (PlayStation 2)

    in Noobs

    I know chd can archive multiple files (bin, cue for PS1). Is there a way to compress multi-disc games into 1 archive?

     

    ex: Metal Gear Solid 3 - Subsistence (USA) (En,Es) (Disc 1), 2 & 3

     

     

    Not as CHD.

    For that you can just create an .m3u file and in one line in the text file itself you simply put the name of each CHD file in sequence, aka

    Filename1.chd

    Filename2.chd

    (No spaces between lines... (My phone won't let me single line space)

    Then you load that .m3u file as the game in Launchbox so it only sees one file....
