I agree, it's actually fun to take my licensed LB collection and build mini-collections onto Flash drives...my last one was a classic Nintendo/sega collection, featuring all 8-16bit Sega/Nintendo games, including handheld systems, (and 64bit-N64 games) onto one collection on a 128GB flash (with extra room for all the assets), or maybe 64GB Flash...don't remember..

I have issues with some games in the TOTAL DOS collection too (I'm using release 13); what fixes many of them is running the setup for them again (although it doesn't fix them all),. To do this: right-click the game, and choose near the top of that menu to CONFIG the game...if that option is missing, it needs to be pointed to the right EXE....so right click the game, and EDIT it...go to the launcher area that shows the EXE that is loaded when you double click it, and look for the field below it for the INSTALLER, browse and choose the INSTALL/setup.EXE (can be named anything, but usually something like that), then click to OK that....right-click and choose CONFIG...then when the DOSBOX opens the installer, go through the setup, always picking the default C drive to install (it actually treats this so called C drive as the folder in your actual folder you have the game stored, so don't change that, just pick the C drive it gives you in most cases, if it gives you a choice of C, D, E,...always pick C...when asked for soundcard/music card, just choose soundblaster or soundblaster 16, complete the install/setup) and then make sure under EDIT again that the game matches the correct .EXE under where it is launching, sometimes LB auto sets the wrong .exe file....

eXo, you a true superhero of gaming preservation, thank you so much! Sorry if I missed this earlier, but I have to be sure because of all the time I've put into my collection... I have over 46k titles in my launchbox across all platforms...also many, many custom playlists and some custom platforms too...I have the complete existing LB EXODOS/Win3XO collection (the win3x0 collection is fully installed in my case via your .bat process (over the exodos install)... will LB support those titles too? My most important concern is that I don't want to lose access to my existing many thousands of other games/playlists by starting with a fresh launchbox config...this won't happen with your process will it?

Awesome! You should also create an angelic theme'd one for users on the light side though...

Anyone down for creating this or any other custom playlists requested ? :-) I wish I knew how and had the time myself to do it... maybe one of these days I will learn how...

Same here, thanks so much to everyone involved!

I've been slowly adding TOTAL DOS (I think it's release 13) into my collection....at about 6200 games...so I literally don't need to worry about any of those anymore? I won't be missing anything? (I don't install demos, variations (like a1, a2, etc...) or non-English titles, etc)

Would be awesome if this was still worked on...anyone capable/willing? I wish I could...

This happens about 75-80% of the time since the last update. I edit a game from the main LB view, then add a front image....I click OKAY and the entire LB window get a solid border around it, slightly shifts upward and to the left (looks like a few pixels) and then I have to end task and it takes forever to close... Even when it does work and accept the graphic and not crash, sometimes it takes 2-5 minutes for it to finish processing and be useable again.. Using Windows 10.... wasn't having these issues before with last update I believe. Anything else I can do/try? It's making it a chore to add images here and there....thank you! - Brett

Thanks...uploaded where?

Also for: D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) TSR / Dragonlance / Forgotten Realms (any one of those)

Can anyone share these IF you have ones you use? I can't find any of these in the forum/download section. StarWars Marvel DC Comics Spiderman Batman Crash Bandiboot

I still wish LB has a better SERIES / GENRE editor though, I love classing my stuff like this and making playlists based on it, but it's a chore sometimes.

Never-mind, I didn't know you could search for more than TITLE in the top search field in LB, LOL!

Is there a way to search while in the main LB view for other fields in the EDIT game field, without going to VIEW / LIST VIEW and sorting columns, or using BIGBOX's F12 search? Thanks....

Would you be willing to share it? I agree...I can't seem to get the right one I guess..

I'll keep at it, thank you!

Hey everyone, are there any guides or helpful posts getting Acorn ARCHIMEDES roms running? Having a heck of a time with ARCULATOR, wouldn't even open till I stuck a rom in it's own ROMS folder, and found Acorn Archimedes RISC OS Application Suite v1.00 (19xx)(Acorn)(Disk 1 of 2) (and part 2) from TOSEC collection and I put that in the Arculator\ROMS\RISCOS2 folder, now the program opens at least, but when choosing to load a DISC (into 0 or 1 or anything of them) it just stays on a BLACK screen.... Anyone have success setting this up, willing to help? Really try to be a completionist with my collection and this one is proving to be painful, LOL

That restored the MAME menu, thank you! I noticed C button shoots in space invaders, but I can't figure the rest out easily...the controls in the options are all weird (see image attached), the left column shows letter and symbols, the right the key assigned...never saw MAME controls look like that before....gonna be fun to figure this out....any easier way?

Hey guys, I got the games I have in LB to launch MAME64.exe with these games, but none of my controls are working, and the TAB key doesn't work like it normally would in MAME to bring up control and other options? What else can I do to set these up? Thanks.

Yes it tries to do that already...if the name matches (it ignores parenthesis differences, but looks at file name), during import, and you can also manually do so by highlighting what you want merged and choosing to COMBINE the games...it then asks you which one is the MAIN game to display in LB...

I can't seem to find Don's ROM RENAMER (link aren't working?), I remember it from my Hysperspin days...anyone have the latest version?

Agreed...I have many of their sets, but also have renamed others to follow that naming convention (or loosely)... What software can I use to scan a folder and organize them in bulk?

Thanks, not sure yet...have not been able to try it yet :-)

Thanks Jason, but I may not need to do this now...I appeared to have fixed it! YES! (if it happens again, I certainly will though, thank you) I did these steps.... (note #1 and #2 was not sufficient by itself to fix this, and neither was #5 by itself...I tried these alone and it still failed) 1. Deleted all the XML's referencing 'nintendo super nintendo entertainment system', and all entries of it in platform.xml 2. Delete the entries in launchbox for this (not the actual roms, just the platform entry) 3. Deleted all the XML's referencing ' super nintendo entertainment system', and all entires of it in platform.xml 4. Delete the entries in launchbox for this (not the actual roms , just the platform entry) 5. Replaced platform.xml with an older one. So basically nuked EVERYTHING to do with super Nintendo or the old/bad entry and then when it didn't exist in LB, reimported the proper SNES folder, creating the platform by typing it in manually since it wasn't on the list to select uring the import wizard...seems normal now and the bad platform is gone! Thank God!
