DOS76, An improved search feature doesn't matter have to conflict with the pressing a key feature at all...I like doing that too, I'm glad it was added, especially since I have so many games, but I'm not sure why has to be mutually one way or the other....a 2sec delay like wirtual82 suggested would work fine OR even having to click a new icon on top before topping to enable a better effective search (as mentioned before) would be ideal...

Yes thank you! I download and combine all of it together.

Yes, you can point it to your current folder. That will save a lot of Bandwidth.
As far as your launchbox goes, you should be able to just copy the new platform XML file and the images & manuals folder over to your lb install.
Thank you. If we are manually moving it into our collection, which I’ve done with the rest of them, we still have to run the setup.bat right?

Playing Beneath a Steel Sky, when I save, I get no choice of where, and it saves to \LaunchBox\Games\MS-DOS\Sam & Max Hit The Road CD v1.11 (1994)(LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC) [Adventure]
I do have this as my MS-DOS platform, but all my eXoDOS games are in my \LaunchBox\eXoDOS\Games
I guess I don't mind game saves going in the top main path, but why the wrong game name??? -

Mednafen saturn on retroarch.
I use the stand alone version because there is a major input/gamepad bug I can't seem to figure out with my xbox 360 controller, only with it in Retroarch

I wonder if anyone else would take up the mantle, and be willing to work on a 3-D engine for you. I wish I had that skill set.

Anyone trying the new beta with a very large collection say 30,000 or more, does it make a huge difference? Just curious.

Are you using playlists you downloaded elsewhere and not ones you have created yourself? If you have a playlist with many games that are missing it can cause BigBox to freeze for a few seconds while it works out what games you have in your system compared to what games are in the playlist. I would advise deleting the games you do not have from the playlist if you think this could be the problem.
I second that....it helps a lot.

Any way to get this without choosing to allow beta installs?..I just want to run it since it's a separate EXE and try it out...

I just sort of took his word for it, as I don't know the ins and outs of launchbox as well as most.
I'm a bit buried in other things right now. Can we put this off until all 5 packs have been released? At that point I can at leats make a master list of "adult" games without having to worry about going back and updating it again later when the next pack hits.
Sure man, really appreciate it.

Glad you fixed it! All adult games are marked as adult. Can you sort or filter by rating?
When it was a meagre only collection it asked during install if you wanted to remove adult games. I disabled that though as to do it in launchbox would require XML edits.
I suppose I could create two versions of each pack. One with adult and one without, and then it asks which one you want on install.
In the mean time though, Jason told me that marking them as adult games would give people the ability to delete or hide them.
3eXoDOS, you said that Jason said that it would let me delete or hide them, but I have no way to filter them in Launchbox and see which games are which...I'll look around more...
-
eXoDOS, would you happen to have a list of the adult games provided in your packages, specifically for 3.0+ releases...I just need to be aware of what to remove if I share these with my friends...some won't be into that.
I think I found all of them that is in RPG and ADVENTURE, but I'm not sure....I only found one in Strategy (Teenage Queen) so far, but wanted to ask before I went though 1,367 titles...
Thank you for all your help and your hard work on this awesome collection. -
FIXED it...ridiculous way too...There was another MS-DOS XML in platforms that I had RENAMED once to back it up, like MS-DOSpreviousversion.XML...
I ZIPPED that file and deleted the actual XML, now it loads all games...somehow Launchbox was loading that despite it being renamed....lesson learned! -

This reminds me of the time when Cleverest didn't know how to switch his PC on. The whole forum was helping him for about 3 months
That's extra funny since I work in IT and have for 20 years. Made me really LOL!

size is 6,586kb for the MS-DOS.xml file

Dated TODAY....being careful to only launch straight from the drive...only one I have on this path.....so odd....

Ran the setup.bat in my launchbox, and it goes for awhile with all the DOSBOX stuff and then tells me, this erro, but then continues, into the !dos stuff...should I be concerned?
Could the issue be related to it not finding a file at this part that I posted before about, before the !dos copy process begins?
-
I have 2.772 folders in L:\LaunchBox\eXoDOS\Games\!dos
So they are there...for sure. -

That's right... You have the newer version of the torrent. In the XML folder should be a MS-DOS.xml file which is the three .game files combined with a header and footer added. Try putting it in your launchbox platforms folder over whatever version is in there.
Just tried again (after downloading the torrent over again to be safe) - same issue, stuck at 1400 MS-DOS games....copied over the XML file to platforms folder in launchbox
:-( I wish I knew what I did wrong....I got the other two packs installed fine... -
eXoDOS, the STR.game file shows this as the first two lines....is this wrong?
<Game>
<ApplicationPath>eXoDOS\Games\!dos\PrmMan3\Premier Manager 3 (1994).bat</ApplicationPath> -
back to like it was originally, at only 1400 MS-DOS games...I don't know what to do at this point....UGH
-
so after this my launchbox changed from version 8.1 to 7.4, I canceled the launch of it, and reinstalled 8.1....results to follow....

I think I will go down the conservative route and copy the assets across manually with the xmls combined rather than risk any automated process!
that's what I do...I run the set up process on a different installation and then copy over the MS-DOS.xml, all the images content, and metadata....
But for some reason this time, the strategy games aren't showing, so I'm trying to run the setup and patch again, this time from my LB collection...I have no other DOS games in my MS-DOS platform (my other ones are in a TOTAL-DOS collection, that is a big mess currently), so that should work I am really hoping...we'll see

Why even post this, ""if I'm searching for Sonic games and get 6 results that aren't sonic games doesn't really bother me as I have a lot bigger problems in life than what a search box returns but I guess that is just me." - Yeah so do I....I can barely pay my bills sometimes, but I'd like to have a nicer search too because at least something would work right! :-)
