The cheevo set is still demoted for repairs. I'll add it back once the set is back up.- 78 comments

Sup BioHazzard. Yeah it's been hectic at work. Been trying to update the last few games but haven't had much free time. Next update should be this weekend sometime.

Yeah I see they use the no-intro custom RVZ set instead of the redump set. I can build a DAT from that set but its not as popular/easy to find as official redump sets.
-
@BioHazZzard @Odio and everyone else who wants an RVZ DAT, if I were to make a RVZ DAT, which option would you suggest I build the DAT from? Convert Redump-approved GC ISOs to the default RVZ settings in Dolphin (Block Size - 128KB, Compression Type - ZStandard, Compression Level - 5) and put those RVZ file hashes into the DAT OR Build it from the custom DAT on the No-Intro website as the base.
-
Oh wow. Thanks @Clutz450. Even I didn't know about that. In that case, If LB ever adds RVZ support to cheevo detection, I'll definitely make a RVZ DAT then.

@Odio Sadly, the DAT will only support ISO for 3 reasons: Launchbox doesn't detect cheevos for RVZ format, only ISO. The official Redump DAT uses ISO, not RVZ. RVZ has the same issue as CHD with DATs. The file hash values are different, depending on the conversion settings used in Dolphin (Block size and compression level), so you would need RVZ files created with the same settings as what's in the DAT to prevent false results which can become a drag. Therefore, I won't be doing a RVZ DAT and I recommend using the DAT to scan Redump ISOs and once you confirm that they are all correct, use Dolphin to convert them manually.

BB 13.14 starts and works perfectly fine.

Hey guys. BigBox isn't starting in the latest beta. I double click it, it opens in task manager for a second or 2 and then closes. I tried reinstalling in a new directory and same problem. I'm running windows defender and even with all settings disabled, the same problem happens. I'll try reinstalling previous version and see if it works.
-
Thanks Odio. It's been corrected. For alternate file types; unless the official no-intro and/or redump DATs change or add new file types themselves, sadly I won't be doing that. The problem with CHDs is the file hash values are different based on the version of chdman that's used to do the conversion AFAIK so unless chdman stops getting updated/changed, the CHDs will continue to have different hash values than what's in my DATs which will continue to be a pain in the ass for everyone.

Thanks. This has been corrected. So basically the versions of this rom that are available on the RA website are outdated and not a part of the latest official No-Intro NES DAT anymore. The 2 versions that are in my DAT are in the official NES DAT and are also compatible with cheevos.

Lol yeah pretty much. However, the devs say they might consider splitting NES and FDS into 2 separate platforms when the FDS DevJam rolls out so hopefully they'll consider splitting Wonderswan and Color, Neo Geo Pocket and Color and MSX and MSX2 into separate platforms when those DevJams roll out as well.
-
I'm a bit confused as to what you're trying to say/suggest. I made 1 DAT for both platforms because both platforms are merged together on the RA website, the same RetroArch Core is used to play both platforms and if you import all the games into the "Wonderswan" platform on LaunchBox, then the achievement scan will detect them all as cheevo compatible whereas none of them will be detected if you import them into the "Wonderswan Color" platform. RA is a bit finicky with Wonderswan/Color, Neo Geo Pocket/Color and MSX/MSX2 in that regard, I must admit.
