Thanks Neil - So, i am crammed up to the rafters space wise and i believe i have around 50GB left on my Hard drive. What happens eventually if this Cache file fills all of that also. Will it still function fine just no longer store any more cached images?

Guys i have 64GB within the above folder. I assume if i delete this it will have a performance impact right due to being Cache?... For my system its quite a sizable chuck of space its using up, but i understand if its best off left. Thought if enquire to be sure. Cheers

Hi Guys - havent had a chance to work on this, my 2 kids sucked up all my time over the weekend. However i did get a chance to do some more research and have you heard of a (what seems like) really good program called Keyboard2xinput - it effectively turns keystrokes into joypad presses... From peoples reviews online seems to work very well, and to be honest, perhaps may work better than a separate AHK script for each game. Could use this once and thats it as all games use pads. Thoughts anyone?

hi JV - thats excellent. So it will more than likely be a separate script for every game as they are all slightly different key-wise. but that makes sense, will give it a go and report back

thank you - So yes, its an EXE it will be running. So i write the AHK i need per game, then compile / Save it as a Batch file and add it to additional apps? Will it close upon ending the windows .Exe game? After searching yesterday im sure it was you who wrote another Bat file to run when closing to terminate the AHK script : "taskkill.exe /F /IM Game_Exit.exe" obviously replacing Game_Exit with whatever .exe/batch file ive made

Thanks guys - appreciate your help Mind i say however - Headrush and Joe are you saying kinda opposite things? one saying "LB will end when program is done." and HR saying its best to create a script that kills it? Perhaps i have read wrong?

just had a brief search on AHK stuff.. So seems easy to make a script that remaps one key to another, for instance : a::p s::o q::l w::k so is it simply ONLY that above that i put in a script file? how do i get it so the script closes once i end the windows game? otherwise wouldnt that script remain active all the time!! argh... THanks all

Great thank you - Just looked into x360ce and seems to not work with Keyboards, the devs seem to get quite angry when people ask oddly too on their forums. UCR could be good! To be honest, i know sod all about AHK scripts and stuff but i think that may work for some games. Some games the keys are oddly undefinable, so i can surely make W=H and so on... i believe....!!!!

hi Guys - So adding a number of my Windows games. Made the Windows playlist, added a few games. I have a cabinet, with ipac running the normal 2 stick, 12 button combo... Is it possible to have my buttons convert to Joypad (Xbox) presses?... For instance my 6 buttons on the player 1 side is mapped on the ipac to QWEASD. So i assume, once say i presss "Medium punch" which would be "W", the PC / Something converts this to say "X" on an xbox pad? Ive seen JoytoKey, but sounds like i need the opposite of this hope i am making sense there thanks

Sorry Jase - the Mrs just gave birth been a bit preoccupied.. Will work on this as soon as i get a sec and report back thanks alot!

on its way, lets hope you dont have a wife

Neil - you are a top man, worked a treat, nice one! Someone get this man a beer

Apologies for the camera to screen picture but i think you are on to something here. the only system with a problem has 3 entries... The normal NES, then NES.Backup, then NES.Missing.Serial Should i delete Backup and MSerial?

hmm im not sure - Just putting the kids to bed, will take a look later and report back

Sorry when i say "Fucked off" i mean with me - not with you guys, you lot are sound dont worry

Yes it does Neil however as stated i cannot even access the Temp folder in order to delete the file. It says it is corrupted and wont let me in. Im sure i did a reboot but still wasnt allowed entry. When you say install 11.5 over the top i cannot even open Launchbox to go into the updater. Ill try goto the site and dload the package and try to over write it. Best not delete all my settings or i will be well fucked off

All other platforms seem fine, never had this before but ive sorted out my NES library a number of times now, First couple of times i thought i mustve been going mad and didnt do it. Essentially I have been in Launchbox > NES and doing a general overhaul which includes deleting some games (Right click > Delete) or Editing other Games because their Rom path is wrong. Every time i do an amendment i test and load the game and its all good. Its not until i restart Launch box, or reboot my system that it all goes back to the way it was... It is like there is some kind of Read Only attribute on this platform somewhere... However i dont get any warnings and when i do the changes its all perfect up until i restart then its back in exactly the same state as it was when i started.. Any ideas? Cheers

Sorry you say you cant get 11.4 to load either? Are you getting my error message too?.. can you even access the Temp folder im talking about?

Funny, i found 11.3 a disaster. bigbox would crash on exit on most vertical games - All Cave / Donkey kong etc. Would crash right out to desktop, no error, nothing. Thank god 11.4 fixed it

Fallen to page 2 - has anyone taken a look and can offer some advice on this please, thanks (Paid bigbox user)

guys do the actions and fixes in this thread only apply to Launch box? What about when in bigbox mode?

nice one, youre a good lad Neil cheers

I had the every so often error of my files have been corrupt please use an old Zip from the Backup folder. Unpacked the last one into the Data folder which usually works. Now i get this message attached. This Temp folder that it refers too wont even allow me to access, OR delete it even after a reboot. Cheers

ok Neil thanks - And theres no way around that? - Even if i moved the whole game to another location? Anything bought on Steam always needs steam open in the background to play? I assume for DRM

Cheers Cbeats... Found where they are in my Steam Common folder. May just set them up to run individually from there
