Thank you very much, I'll try this tonight....you stated: "When complete, you can copy the ms-dos.xml file back into the Data folder." Sorry to be thick here, but one question: is this the ms-dos.xml I just put into the root of launchbox's folder right? Am I MOVING it or COPYING it back into which DATA folder? Can I leave it in the LB folder too? Thanks again.

I have the MAME 0.180 roms split - it's 50 something GB, so that seems correct....I just need to get the CHD'S I need, thanks guys!

Ahhh that explains why I was seeing nearly 2TB for CHDS...lol, thanks!

Some good games I want to play in MAME that need them (Killer Instinct for example) ...maybe someone else has a suggestion besides download them all?) - I have a Fiber 1G connection, but.....ugh.

Cool...sadly, some of the games are broken due to no CHD...I balk at downloading almost 2TB of SPLIT chds, LOL...is there anyways to get a list of CHD's I need (as per what is in LB and what is currently working in MAME?) Thanks so much guys.

one more...with Mame 0.180, and importing only originals, should 2,763 ROUGHLY be the amount of games or is that too little? I know it depends on what filters were used, I think I used very few filters... Note: I have the entire rom set (split) I'm concerned that by not doing clones to avoid duplicate hell, I've lost lots of actual individual games...is that the case? Thanks.

Thanks guys!

Is the current recommended MAME command line still: -skip_gameinfo -nowindow as per page 1, or is it different now?

Love love love EXODOS and Launchbox working together... Question: since Launchbox doesn't use a single XML anymore (it splits them up, right?), when I use the feature to EXPORT to launchbox, what XML do I choose? Also, I won't want to move the location of the EXODOS games,where they reside...is it going to keep things where they currently are located? Thank you! - Brett

I personally LOVE the dual 3D box idea, as long as the back remains legible once fully viewed (to read), what a great idea!

I'd like to know this too ^ :-)

Cool thank you!

Pinball FX2 - really impresses me: http://pinballfx.com/ Does anyone have a process they follow to integrate this as well as any downloaded tables for it? What command line, any details, etc..? Thanks.

Wouldn't that be super handy? I know that I often find a game and wonder if it exists on other platforms I may have imported (or not), or if I'm playing a worse or better "version" (original, hacked, translated, enhanced, special edition, etc), imagine seeing a badge or having a simple click to reveal this fact? If you like that idea too, please take 2 seconds and vote: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/2198/version-revision-best-of-filtering Thanks!

Yup that worked, thanks!

Thanks! One thing, as per the tutorial...I actually cannot drag / drop the converted folders (or anything at all) into the Launchbox window like it's done in the video, my cursor stays a circle with a cross out in the middle....I feel silly, but I've never done this, always used the import wizard.....

Since I'm on a roll here, LOL I see ones like: APB [WHDLoad, v1.1, Files, 1708] APB [WHDLoad, v1.1, Image, 1240] files vs image...I'm wondering which ones, if any I can/should delete....? Are these dupes, are they different?

Also what is supposed to be the difference (besides version which I see often, I'm keeping the latest ones when possible) between: Alien Breed [WHDLoad, v1.1, 0998, Story] Alien Breed [WHDLoad, v1.3, 0998 I know the other is 1.3 instead of 1.1, but it also says STORY? Thanks

I've noticed after running the exporter program that many of my Amiga games are duplicates with the only difference being that some are NTSC and some are not....I know what NTSC means, but I'm not wanting duplicates....in general is it better to delete the NON-NTSC ones and keep those to play with the emulator or should I get rid of the NTSC ones instead? I know the original hardware didn't handle NTSC as well from what I read online, but I wasn't sure about the emulation experience... Thanks!

Thanks, yeah I just went with having .LHA files in the folder instead of ZIP, the size difference was very little...working fine now :-)

Just wondering if this performance impact I was warned bout when enabling counts is negligible? I like showing how many games I have present with each system on the left sie, but when I get done with collection building, I'll disable the count if it really makes a difference... Thanks.

Love the tutorial/video, THANKS! But I have an issue... Something that is odd: When I scan my games-whdload directory which contains over 3,300 files....it found only TWO games...Transplant and Future Shock.....the path HAS been added as per the settings steps in the Video....wasn't sure why until I noticed that if I unzip another game it finds it after the scan (each game in it's own subdirectory...), but one of the two games it found originally was not unzipped (Transplant_v1.01.zip), but Future Shock was.... I thought it supported individual zipped WHDLOAD games?...I'm using version 2.8.2.u2 (latest 64bit) ....what the heck?? Any help appreciated.

Anyone know if this tool is still working/needed with the latest Mednafen?

Question about " You'll need to apply for a TMDb API v3 key in order to use the application. " How do I accomplish this? Does it cost?

It says " Dreamcast emulators such as Demul and Reicast will play the archive format CHD. Use GDI to CHD Converter to convert your games." but I have yet to try, and I don't think I have many GDI games anyways...at least that don't have tons of BIN/RAW files with them, not sure how that works...guess I should try, LOL
