^ Tosec packs are very complete but have a lot of versions, dupes and software junk. I prefer my set because it want it immediately useable.. my collection is about 41k games, but containing no dupes or beta/dupe version games...which means only one version of each game per platform, only English roms and translated to English roms, (unless a system is ONLY in Japanese, sharp X68000 of NEC PC-FX for example)...all this just fits snuggly on an 8TB hard drive, ready to play.

yes is a very good way for discover new titles without spent your disk size, I put as favorites the best games in every system and i download just that, other games are marked as uninstalled
How large the drive you have all this one?
do you have non-english games, betas, version A, B, etc...like, is it fairly messy? -
-
Also is there a way to PRELOAD the "flip disk to side B" requirement on Apple II games that require that?

Just use current MAME, works great.
My LB command line for Apple II
You had posted:
apple2ee -gamma 0.50 -gameio joy -flop1
I couldn't get that working, I got THIS working though: apple2ee -ui_active -skip_gameinfo -gamma 0.50 -flop1
I had to remove -gameio joy
Not sure what -gamma .50 really does for this platform...can you explain? -
For Apple II with MAME
apple2ee -ui_active -skip_gameinfo -flop1
seems to work for the few games I've tried so far... -
Yup that was it...odd...
I changed it to pressing (clicking) both joysticks down, I think that's better.... -
What files specifically do I need to copy over to a new drive, to replicate my recent Apple IIGS MAME (made a variation of my main mame folder/emulator settings) and command line settings for all the games I've done on my first drive, to my second one, without having to re-do it all on the next one?
These settings ^^
Thanks...

Yeah, double check there. It's not something new, it has been a BigBox setting for several years.
Weird...I never changed that, I would have noticed it exiting long before now....oh well, as long as I can find it and fix it, haha

Your issue with the apple2 is likely missing rom files that are required.
If you can start mame from the command prompt with the -v option it should tell you what is missing.
I believe newer MAME versions requires the roms from the disk controller as well, I believe diskII_ng it's called. Sorry away from computer so can't get specifics right now.
Edit: Roms needed:
Just add those beside your apple2ee roms where you keep you MAME roms.
Looks like I have those in the MAME roms path already, but older versions, I have 0.271 MAME I believe...should I keep the older ones, or overwrite these two files there?

Did you confirm the button mapping setting inside BigBox does not have that combo? LB and BB have separate settings. Also in BigBox the command for closing a game is labeled “Close Active Window”.
I didn't even know there WAS a setting in BigBox...it must have been added with later versions as I never had this combo-issue happen in BigBox previously...I'll check that, thanks.

It's sometimes marked on the filename if it needs an OS to boot depending on what collection the files are from. I use the boot OS alternative on all files by default, but if there are some that don't work that way I then use the "Custom Command Line Parameter" in the Launchbox Emulation tab for them. But most have been working with booting the OS first.
For exiting I use the focus button on MAME (Scroll Lock by default) to get "back" the full keyboard control to the host computer instead of the emulated one
Then I can normally just press ESC to quit. Or you can also then access the MAME menu (TAB) to switch discs (File Manager). To get the keyboard focus back to the emulated computer just press the Scroll Lock key again.I just discovered the apple2gs -ui_active -flop4 "L:\LaunchBox\Games\Apple IIGS\Black Cauldron, The (USA) (Disk 2).2mg" -flop3
Which allowed the second disk to load on The Black Cauldron, so awesome...I didn't have ui_active before so no tab/UI features were coming up, now I can exit with ESC like I usually can in MAME so that's great! Thanks for the Scroll Lock trick.
None of this works for the Regular Apple II eh? -
Lastly, I tried it with ANCIENT GLORY, and it told me after showing the Title to insert Disk 2, but I'm not sure how to do that in MAME...thanks for your help!
-
You are awesome! apple2gs -skip_gameinfo -flop3
worked for the first Apple IIGS game I tried. (Airball) it let me press TAB to select KEYBOARD or JOYSTICK, but neither seemed to control after that....maybe it's just that game..
Ancient Land of Ys would not work with either command though. ?
One thing though, I noticed I could only exit with ALT+TAB plus + mouse to right-click program on taskbar to close it...how do you YOU exit it better? -
Awesome, I will try this...how do you know if a game requires the OS to boot?
-
I couldn't get any of the commands to work with MAME, flashes command prompt then goes away... ? I'm stuck using the crappy ActiveGS I guess.

For some reason, this only happens only in BigBox and I don't want it to...I tested so far: NES games (using Retroarch) and N64 (using standalone Mupen64).
...both will instantly exit a game if I press the Y and B button together (buttons 4, and 2 on my Xbox 360 wired controller), and I don't have this combo mapped in Launchbox, Retroarch OR Mupern64 anywhere I can fin...again it only happens in BigBox, Not Launchbox...where the only exit button I have mapped in Launchbox is pressing L and R joysticks down....that works too, and I want that, but not the Y+B exit in BigBox...
What could be causing this? Makes it hard to play games as those buttons are often pressed together...even by accident... -
I should probably mention that my game files for the Apple II and IIGS were not from MAME, they are .DSK files....can MAME still be used as the emulator, or must I have the MAME versions?
-
Anyone know if this still works with the latest builds of Launchbox? It's been awhile, so figured I'd ask...

Sadly it didn't work, I get a flash of a COMMAND PROMPT window and then it goes away...what does your emulator settings window look like? What do you have checked and where are your games located for these titles?

Cool! I'm using somewhat of an older version of MAME, I think 0.271 because of how I have it configured and bezels set up, so hopefully it still works...

Anyone have a more current guide? Thanks.

Never-mind, my VIDEO MODE was not set to AUTO for some reason in the menu under Config > Video Mode...changing that to Auto fixed it.

Hey everyone, I updated Demul from 0.58 which was working fine with it for Sammy Atomiswave, but with version 0.7 it broke...I noticed it was no longer -atomiswave but -awave now for the command line, after doing updating that, it now it launches games, but they look like this:
Any ideas?
