ok thanks man. it is harder to add full romset to LB because i have to add not only .cue files but some .m3u files as well (i can't just search for .cue files in games folder) but i can deal with that. peace.

Thanks a lot Lordmonkus for quick answer. But should I add disc one .cue file to LB or the .m3u file? Sorry for bothering but I want to make it clear before adding games to LB because i find testing and changing after adding very frustrating. peace.

Hi guys. First of all thanks for the great tutorial for Sega Saturn emulation. I used LB for 4 years right now but i don't had time to deal with saturn before (i was busy with amiga, snes, megadrive and many more ;]). I got one question before i add my collection of Saturn games to LB. This was problematic when I deal with other platforms so I want to ask before I start adding roms. WHAT'S WITH 2 OR MORE DISC GAMES? Sshould I only add disc 1 cue to LB and retroarch will automaticly find other discs? do I have to put them in the same folder as the disc 1? most collections got separate folder for each disc, should i join them? Thanks in advance for answer.

Hi guys. I have question regarding arcade games CHD files. I have full non-merged MAME 0.179 romset. I spent more than year to test/play all the games from this release. I left in LB only the ones that I enjoy to play. Now I want to delete from my hard drive all the other games (that I remove from LB) because of the size of the fullset. I this is where I find problems. If I understand correct one game needs only one zip file, so it will be easy to check for games that i left in LB what file LB is refer to for specific game and delete the other zip files (for games that I remove from LB). Is this correct? Or maybe some games used two or more zip files? (like I said I have non-merged version so all games are in separate files?). Another (bigger) problem is CHD files because from what I read some games are using CHD files named different from zip file of this game, and LB only refer to zip file. So the question is if there is some reference list where the games are assigned to CHD files? Are there CHD files used by few different games? Any help will be appreciated.

Hi sorry to bother but where can I find new version? I think I'm good enough with google search, never had problems with findings but after a few try I decide to ask question and stop loosing time ;] If You can't give direct links please tell me what should i put into google search...

Hi! Please help me with mz problem.

EDIT--> solution find! I just read previous post and find the solution. salute!

If theres someone who got this problem (hundreds of missing photos) and find the solution please let me know. salute.

Hi I got same problem. Like You write in tutorial I DID NOT download any metadata at the when I add bat files to the collection. I DID download metadata in the second step after backup my data file just like in the instruction, or maybe this means something different :

Thanx a lot for the answer. I don't know why but i was pretty sure they must be in one zip archive to assigned all discs (in multidisc games) to one game automatic. I will unzipped all my adf games and scan them by FS-UAE. Thanx again. Peace.

Hi all! Zombeaver first of all big thanks for the tutorial. Amiga was my second computer after C64 back in '90 and i was crazy about it. After one year of using LB and checking the posibilities right now i'm building my collection from the scratch paying attention to all the details. I'm finishing my C64 collection right now and next one is Amiga. I was importing amiga games before using your tutorial but i can't remember one thing concerning ADF files. I knwo you dont mess with them too much but maybe You or any other user can help me. Problem is that theres a lot of WHLoad Amiga games but not all of them, there are some that are only avalible in ADF format that I want in my collection. Last time I got some problems when I add ADF files, I had to add them again and there was some issues and I lost bunch of time reinastaling FS-UAE and doing everything from scratch. It was connected with the ADF files - finally my question ;];];] - i do not remember if i should zip them in one files (multi disc games) or leave them separately in ADF format when scanning with FS-UAE ? I remember one method works and after scanning FS-UAE 'sse' them and add to collection and second option do not work and FS-UAE do not add them. Which method is correct - one zip files with multiple disc for one game or multiple discs in adf format? Salute man and thanks again for the tutorial - truly the best tutorial for LB for me.

Hi! I got question - could I name new platform different from "eXoDOS" ? I've got my own platform name convention that I want to maintain.

Props man. Problem solve. Thread can be closed. Salute.

Hi guys! I'm testing Audit platforms function right now (Audit option from Tools menu) and something is wrong (at least for me). I'm working on 7.10 version and when i audit lets Nintendo SNES console it shows incorrect information about images for specific games. LB shows that I got 2 pieces of 3D box images for game - but when I check it by clicking it shows box front (2D) image and 3D box image. For 3D cart images it show 4 images and when i checked them it shows 2d box image, 3d box image, 2d cart image and 3d card image. I delete all the images for one of my game and add them again to see if problem dissapear. i download one image for : box 2d, box 3d, cart 2d and cart 3d - and audit function still shows wrong information - it shows that i got 2 pieces of 3d box, 4 pieces of 3 cart, etc. etc. Am I doing something wrong or this function is not working correct for other user too? best regards

Thanx for the answer. Waiting for new version with videosnaps ?

Thanx a lot it works great that way. Salute. Thread could be closed.

Ok it works now. The problem now is that many of my media pictures do not have the exact same name as the game (many of them got "(USA)" or "Europe)" text in file name after game title). They are connect to game in launchbox but when i click "Filter missing items" this games are shown in the list. Other question - it is possible to add videos, manuals and music samples to the listing? Any help will be apriciated.

Hi I got below error when try to use Your aplication. It seems like it search for xml file not in folder I choose but in folder that You got xml files. The highlighted text is in polish language but it says that program cant find xml file in specified path - as you can see its different path from what i choose

Thanx i will try it. Salute.

Hi I got question - is there a way to filter games without videosnaps? I would like to spend my vacation on upadating games media but its hard to check every game if they have videosnaps, back cover, etc etc. It would be great if theres an option or tool that show me a list of games from selected platform that do not have videosnaps or back cover or music sample. Awaiting Your comments. Any help will be aprriciated.

Thanx for the answer. Problem solved.

DOS76 thanx for the answer but I still dont know how to download Cinematix Videos for specific GAMES. The method You write about is only for downloading PLATFORMS cinematix videos not for specific games. Like I was writing when I put whole snes collection to Launchbox it didn't download Cinematix videos for any of added games. When I update various games info/picture i see that i can download big box cinematix video theme for them (when i clicked edit on game and then click "download image/media" option of download cinemtaix video appear for some titles - i find it for super mario world, super punchout and starfox). I would like to download all those cinematix GAMES videos somehow without just clicking all the game and see if theres a chance to download video afert clicking "download image/media. I hope this time i clearly explain what i want ;] edit: Sorry to bother - problem solve. I just select all games and click "download metadata and media" and then select only big box cinematix videos. all the videos are downloading right now ;] but thanks for the effort.

Hi All! I got question. When I'm download metadata for games sometimes it shows that I can download "Big Box Cinematix Theme Video" for some games (Super Mario World, Star Fox, ...). Those are big videos (30-50 mb) that downloads to Videos/Theme catalog on hard drive. My question is how to use them (with what big box theme?) instead of standard game video ? Another question is if I can download all of them somehow because when I add my snes games to launchbox they do not download, but now when I'm upadating games info and download additional images it sometimes shows that i can download Cinematix video. I do not want to edit all games separately and see if theres a option to download cinematix video for each one. Waiting for Your response.
