    Easy money for someone
  2. Retrofrogg
    I too would like to know the answer to the above.
  3. Retrofrogg
    So....is there a retro arch core for AAE?
  4. Retrofrogg
    Well, I went ahead and imported around 3500 MAME roms via Lightspeed, split into separate systems. And Launchbox (and BB) have become unuseably slow! I thought that maybe it was a cacheing issue, but after leaving it overnight, the issue remains. LB keeps becoming non-responsive every time I try and do something with it

    Well, I left it overnight, hoping that it was just cacheing images or something - and the exact same situation this morning For reference, I didn't use the latest version of Lightspeed but a previous one, as we are recommended to do in the lightspeed thread. Having read the above few posts, my next questions are; - how can i "undo" what Lightspeed has done? - how can I import MAME into LB with splitting into the various arcade categories like Lightspeed does?
  6. Retrofrogg
    Interesting....so maybe letting it run overnight will remedy the issue after all?
  7. Retrofrogg
    It's causing major issues - LB goes into not responding every 10 seconds or so and every game is taking ages to appear in LB. To be clear - the laptop is running fine - other apps run at normal speed. It's only LB which is going into a seizure Going to bed now so will leave it on overnight. Hopefully it will be sorted by the morning.
  8. Retrofrogg
    Do you have to scroll through them all or is there a way to make LB do it in the background? Scrolling would take hours at this rate!
  9. Retrofrogg
    OK....leave it on overnight kind of thing? It would be handy if LB gave some indication of what it was doing behind the scenes (e.g. cacheing), rather than leaving the user to guess.

    I just imported a bunch of MAME roms & metadata via the Lightspeed importer. 3473 games in all, split into a few different arcade systems. Problem is, LB has since become so slow it is unuseable. After clicking on a platform there is about a 15-20 second delay before the games appear, and then they load slowly one by one. LB intermittently shows as "not responding" on Windows resource monitor, though CPU usage for LB is not particulalry high. Big Box is also correspondingly slow. The NES and SNES consoles I already had in LB are about the same speed as before I think (some manageable delay in LB, but no delay in BB). Any help appeciated!!

    In the export tab in Lightspeed, there is a picture of an arcade machine on the right. When I click on the games which have marquee/control panel/etc, nothing happens to the arcade machine. Is this normal, or should the art be displayed on the arcade machine?
  12. Retrofrogg
    Do I have to unzip the MAME artwork packs? MAME says to leave them zipped, but lightspeed doesn't seem to recognise the files in the zips.

    OK, wasn't sure! Would be grateful for some more advice on how to sort my issue with the categories part of the theme.
  14. Retrofrogg
    Are you referring to my question mcfilm?
  15. Retrofrogg
    I fear that this may be well beyond my area of expertise - would you be able to assist at all or offer some pointers?
  16. Retrofrogg
    I'm sure I've seem themes where it only shows this data when you go into the platforms menu, and not in the categories menu?
  17. Retrofrogg
    Yes, that information! How do I populate that?
  18. Retrofrogg
    @dragon57 - doesn't that option just let you download metadata and media for the games?
  19. Retrofrogg
    Currently I use platform category view with game count, so it looks like this: Consoles (500) NES (250) SNES (250) Is it possible to show the number of platforms under the platform category instead of the total nunber of games? So in this example it would look like: Consoles (2) NES (250) SNES (250)

    Would LOVE this!
  21. Retrofrogg
    Worked it out! Question - works fine for the platform selections, though I want different text to show for the categories selection (e.g. manufacturers makes no sense for categories). How can I have different text for categories and platforms?
  22. Retrofrogg
    How do I get LB to populate the platform metadata? I added the NES, but none of the metadata fields (developer, manufacturer, CPU, etc) are populated - all are empty!
  23. Retrofrogg
    Figured out which view to edit, and how to add a text box. However following your instruction, I end up with just the word "Nintendo", instead of "Manufacturer: Nintendo". If I add the word Manufacturer before the string you gave me, then the whole string shows as text in BB instead of the instruction.
  24. Retrofrogg
    Many thanks CriticalCid! I wonder if it would be possible to add a bar to the botton of the platform selection view in Criticalzone version 1 with 3 bits of information, like this?
  25. Retrofrogg
    That would be great, cheers. Videos take up a lot of space and I like to set my video folder onto an external drive. Edit: guess there is always mklink in the meantime...
