I can't find anything there, but it's an ocean of technical documentation; who knows....I'm just glad that LB works on the actual Desktop; just wish I could figure it out. I guess I'll gave to try a new remote software and see if it does the same thing; for example, with TeamViewer.

This only occurs when remotely connected to my PC at home from work to manage my collection (yes I'm THAT dedicated to Launchbox). At home it works fine and displays as expected.
I'm using Connectwise Control to remote connect (fabulous program BTW) (Windows 10 both directions) - any way to fix this so I can do this stuff while I'm slacking at work? Would be so nice....thanks. -

Hi guys,
in Steam library, you can read the Q&A about the last release 0.8.4, the answer is here!
- Create a new emulator in Launchbox for 3DSen, select "steam.exe" as emulator... (The local one on your hard disk).
- Specify these command line for this emulator "- applaunch 1147940 -id=".
- I've runned 3DSen and set all games for each profile (Game section) and be sure they all works.
- In Launchbox, for each of these games, replace the "rom path + rom name" by the ID number in the list (see joined to this message). You'll have to do this for each game you want to play with 3dsen! (Each Launchbox tiles)
Now, when you click on a game, it starts steam.exe with required parameters to run the gamestraight away, you'll see for a short period the 3dsen menu loading the game, and it will start!
... i'm currently working on how to exit with the autyokey script!
Regards
Did you ever figure out how to exit? Thanks...will be trying to set up what you wrote here shortly...

…that I can buy for $500 or less that will allow him to enjoy it; obviously he won't be able to play PS3 on such a system, but something that handles PS2 and below really good would be awesome.
I can build my own if it comes down to it; but looking for an easy buy before I go that route. Thanks.
Any advice...needs to be an actual PC running Windows 10. Thanks. -

Hi folks,
I know this is a really old thread, but I've managed to get a way to run Wataroo with ROMs from the command line.
Add these three lines to the Wataroo.ini file...
[general]
autoload=y
cdf=autorun.cdfThen set your emulator to a batch file Wataroo.bat (in the same folder as the emulator executable) with the following content...
echo Watara> autorun.cdf
echo 64K>> autorun.cdf
for %%f in (%1) do (
echo %%~nf>> autorun.cdf
echo %%~f>> autorun.cdf
)
start /WAIT Wataroo.exeIf you have the files archived in .zip format, make sure you tick the emulator option to "Extract ROM archives before running" and "Attempt to hide console window...", otherwise if in .sv format, then just change that last line to remove the /WAIT from the batch file.
Thanks for this. I just ended up just going with MAME to emulate it and it loads them up full screen, ready to go...should I be using Wataroo? Does it provide a superior emulation experience with this platform in your experience?

Thank you so much!

Would also like to know what script to use to CLOSE CLOSE duckstation and avoid the exit UI and prompt to close....

JBOD ,4 years of tedious tedious artwork, adding platforms inplementing new non copyright platforms (12 dozen platforms ready to go in minutes - check my posts for links, when net speeds and hard drive costs per tb drop I hope to share all my work with the retro community...
That sounds amazing, but I can't imagine keeping that all running in a JBOG configuration. What if you suffer a hard drive failure? Are you backing this collection somewhere? That cannot be cheap!

Ahhh the flashpoint I have is v9.0 of Flashpoint Ultimate which I will add later to my larger NAS build I'm creating, but not this 8TB one, that makes up most of the "computer" games I think...I have just over 20k in that category, so I'm still short of a supposed 30k...hmmm...
I only have 1k hacks. Not sure where to get more.
To create a list of what you have, you can go to VIEW up top, choose LIST VIEW, then right click columns and remove ones in the view you don't want on the spread sheet....then ctrl+A (will take awhile) and press CTRL+C to copy it (this will lock up LaunchBox for awhile with such a giant library, but eventually when things are not locked up anymore, open EXCEL (or whatever spreadsheet) and CTRL+V
There may be a better way, but this is how I've done it time and time again. -

Bottom line: many computer systems take a lot of time to set up for very little benefit. I'm honestly considering ditching most computer systems a except for ExODOS and C64 Dreams and adding Flashpint ultimate as a single app.
I don't know what computer systems would add that many games (if not dupes, demos, betas, etc..) as I believe I have all the actual games for old stuff (commodore, Amiga, Coleco, MSX, etc..), I may be missing a few hundred oddball weird ones, but not THAT many...I guess I need to check out the MAME software list to see what they are providing support for....

44 Terrabytes 2x2tb and 5x8tb nearing 195,000 games
see it for yourself in a fresh launchbox build Platforms.7z Playlists.7z
Unpack and add to Launchbox/Data folder and start LB.
Good job. How are you loading this all in one interface? Are all these drives seperate, JBOD prepared, in a NAS, etc?

Thank you for the tip but everything is already compressed plus General hdd compression is also activated
Also - where it works I am using chd to save Space as well
ps3, 3DS and Switch Games needs a lot of space. Sometimes over 30-40 Gb per Game and More.
Yes I noticed after I posted that, you have a lot of PS3 in your LB collection than I do (I'm building a second set for that alone), and you have a few hundred more WII and x4-x5 times as many WII-U as well, while I have double your PS2 games (almost), so it's good you are using compression...I also use CHD when I can, forgot to mention that.
-
I see. I've manually set it up all my stuff mostly, using MAME just for Arcade and the occasional oddball platform that is works well/better on well, such as Philips-CDI, etc...95% of my collection has Box art, etc...thanks for the details; that makes sense.
-
Having this same issue. Yuzu used to work fine...no command line stuff is set, disabled start screen settings and same issue. Any other ideas?

I have now a total auf 32.315 Games with around 15-16tb of Games through 100 Systems.
I'm over 42,000 with under 8TB so you must not be compressing your games?
I recommend GZ compression for PS2.
WBFS for Wii
GC for GameCube (right from Dolphin)
CSO for PSP
Just doing those alone will make a huge difference...

Don't know how much my collection is gonna end at
But im gonna add PS3 XBOX360 WII U WII and Switch
The Switch set is at 6tb and so is the WII set, PS3 XBOX 360 is bigger sets
Wii-U set you mean? No way Wii is at 6TB...is it??
I'm only importing a handful of Xbox and Xbox 360 games, until the emulation gets better.

I'm at over 90k at this point. All major popular consoles and handhelds working great, except Nintendo Switch and PS3, which are still fairly experimental. Whenever possible, I built a 1G1R set with USA --> JAP (english language) --> EUR--> JAP (non english language) --> other regions. I excluded betas, demos, and prototypes, but included unlicensed games.
Would you be willing to share your platform list and total game counts for them? (Not specific games if you don't want, just counts per platform)? I'm wondering what I'm missing....
I ask cause I have just over 42,500 game titles the full ExodDOS collection as well as an assortment of about 50 PC games and I know I'm missing about 300 PS2 games total but short of that (and more Switch games... I only have about 25) I know that my collection is almost complete as far as a 1G1R

Hey all, so my 8TB is full now with 15gb free space...expanding it on my NAS to create a 12-16TB upgraded build...from what I can tell by doing so I can fully have sets for WIi, PS2, 3ds and possible Wii-U.... I will be building a PS3 only collection later because it's simply too large...but will have some PS3 favs in this one...will add more Switch to this too...
is anybody else sporting a 14 or 16TB Lauchbox collection currently? what is your total game count? Are you are organizing for cleaning up duplications, demos, etc... and removing non-english titles unless they're translated or playable like mine?

Just had the same issue with my Synology NAS mapped folder...thanks for posting this, but I really wish this could be fixed without using Symbolic links.

Found a work around.
1. Rename your current launch box folder so you have a backup.
2. Install a fresh copy of launch box
3. Open Dirlinker and choose your local launch box folder and the destination you would like to copy it to.
4. Once the copy has completed open launch box to test it will open.
5, Close launch box, Go to your original lunchbox backup folder and copy it's contents over the top of the newly created network folder.
6. open launch box from your desktop shortcut and enjoy.
For some reason it still won't load if you navigate directly to the network share but it will working using the symlinked shortcuts
With STEP 3. Open Dirlinker ...
I can find no executable to open...how to you launch the program? -
Same issue with Synology now.... I hope I can fix it. I need the entire collection on the NAS for the large project I'm working on.

Hey all. My brother is having issues on his PC with saving games, and gets other wierd issues I believe are related. who should the OWNER be on the drive? Is user ID, SYSTEM, or something else? Right now it's just a long sequence of numbers...

I've decided to go with the DS1621+ instead, it has an AMD CPU rated at double the performance of the previous Intel Atom processor models. I'll be adding 16GB of ECC memory to add to the existing 4GB ECC, to make it a total of 20GB
I will be building a LB collection larger than 8TB on it (starting with that as my base), and will be testing performance of how this works over a 1GB LAN network to my WIRED desktop as well as wireless computers upstairs in my home. If anyone is interested on updates on how this goes, I'll make another thread after I spend some time with it.-

So...finally going to get this NAS after months of an unfortunate delay. Hoping to have it within 2 weeks of this post unless something else goes wrong...
I can't wait to test Games & Media on NAS connected over LAN to my main system, and WIFI to the rest of my house. I get the idea from other posts that WIFI may not provide the performance needs, but hoping I can upgrade/tweak that somehow, if not I'll have to figure something else out...I just really want my collection to be able to be shared across the home, and to grow in size too...having everything be uniform would be amazing.
Is anyone else using a Synology NAS for this? What did you need to do in DSM to set it up to work? This is my first NAS, so any step by step/tutorial advice for setting up my Launchbox share would be most appreciated. It's currently on an 8TB hard drive but will be moved over to the NAS to live ASAP. (errr copied I guess, I'll keep the external in a closet)
also, if the delay is mostly in BIGBOX causing issues with NAS/WIFI, then I'll just use LaunchBox view on all systems...however that would be done....fine with me...if that really improves it.
chd compression support PCSX2 (PlayStation 2)

My understanding when I converted my PS2 ISO library to.GZ (using max compression setting of 9) that it was completely reversible/lossless too, but Is there a utility out there to go from .GZ to .CHD?...I would want to consider this in order to simply test which one results in better space-saving...
