I want to gift him my amazingly awesome collection, he bought an 8TB drive for this purpose....he emailed me his license key he received in email....when I copy the goods onto his drive, do I just put his license in his LB folder and call it a day? Anything else I'm forgetting/missing in this process? I will probably be referring another friend this month too. Any chance that has earned me a lifetime upgrade? (I have the 1yr) - LOL!! Thanks.

We appreciate you eXo, thank you for the awesome update post! Keep on rockin' it!!

^ Curious about this too....Haven't tried the 5k+ game export for DOS yes, but was wondering the best way to get the 1000+ Windows games into LB as well...

This will override the default save states set on all existing emulators? COOL.

Sorry for the bit of a side question...but what is the best way to GLOBALLY set up RetroArch with SAVE STATES for all emulators?....I want them to default to F5 for save and F9 for load (as long as those don't conflict with a particular one) and it's possible to do so... Thanks!

LordMonkus, great response, and very great points..I'm sold! Is it possible to set up uniform save states across all emulators you've worked with (EX: F5 saves, F9 loads) with all platforms with RA, or are there still trouble systems with this?

I'm a newbie with Retroarch; I have yet to convert my collection to it....I'm getting out of RL and going stand-alone for now, but sounds good, thanks.

Curious about " Sony PlaystationRetroarch Mednafen PSX - This is my preferred choice just because of RAs extra features. " ...but then the rest of the paragraph goes on to praise ePSXe ....I'm wondering what the "extra features" are that sway your way toward RA on this one...?

Thanks Donarumo, I will try this tonight...I appreciate you weighing in on this and helping me!

Did you try the XML COPY/EXPORT process above that Donarumo posted two posts above yours yet, or no?

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!
