This is looking great! I'll will be waiting for the assets/directions as well, in case you are not planning on making a "Magazines" category; I'll make one.

Harry, check this topic out: I used this workaround to bulk add a 3rd party tool to some of my PC games.

Just to be sure; I did not mean to place the files inside the Launchbox folder, I meant to just drag the games you have in your current folder, and drop them inside the Launchbox application (where the game boxes/lists are displayed).

No worries; it was just a sec to review. Here is the zip file with the correction in the Strings.resx: Language-es_NEW.zip

Here you go @Jason Carr: Language-es_NEW.zip One thing I noticed; in the Strings.resx at the ErrorNoLaunchBoxDataFound, it says at the end: "As of this release, you will need to use the latest beta version of LaunchBox for Windows. You can upgrade to the beta release by going to Tools > Options > General > Updates in LaunchBox and checking the box to update to beta releases. Once updated, you can find the Android export process under Tools > Export to Android." Is this text ok for this version? Will it need to be removed for future ones?

@uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhwyanwunt I'm thinking out loud some ideas. Try the following; - In your current version, instead of selecting the add game button, just go to the folder where the games are in Windows explorer, and drag and drop them into Launchbox. Import them like that, and then close Launchbox and reopen it, see if they are there. - You could try maybe backing up your current PS2 xml in the Data folder, and use one of the older backup files from it (in case the xml got corrputed somehow and is not letting you write in it. - Try what @Headrush69 said; in a completely different folder, install the previous version it worked for you (9.8 was it?), and import those PS2 games, close the app, relaunch it and see if they are there. - Last option, install a clean current version of Launchbox (the one you are having problems with) in a different folder, and then try importing those two games in it. See what happens after relaunching the app. Hope you can resolve this as Launchbox is a great app for managing games.

Don't have any goto guides; but check these and see if they are of any help: https://github.com/sparrdrem/homeware/wiki/Create-CDI-rom-for-Dreamcast-on-Windows https://pastebin.com/jfFs6jdM

I don't know to be honest; with Dreamcast I always worked with gdi, cdi and chd, never converted to any other format.

Don't know what to tell you. Sorry man

Did you place the dinput8.dll file (32 or 64 depending on your system) as well as the devreorder.ini in the same folder as the main exe of the game? Remember that each controller in Windows has a unique GUID, so it does not matter how many controllers you have plugged in, if you tell devreorder in the devreorder.ini which controllers you want to use and in which order, and which ones you want to leave hidden so the game does not even mess around with those, it all should be fine. I believe the devreorder tool has inside the zip a program that lets you know what are the GUIDs of all your connected controllers, so you can place them in either the [order] or the [hidden] sections in the ini, but do not let any controller out of the list just to be sure.

You have those games in GDI format, plus some CDDA tracks linked to them? I have never seen that, but you could give it a try. This tool simply searches for files with gdi extensions in your selected source folder, and creates the chds in your selected destination folder.

You are most welcome Robin. Keep up your awesome work

Got it. I am having a problem with the action, specifically with the steps of "Image Size". My PS is crashing without any warnings. Seems to be that we have different versions (I have here an old version CS6), and some of the specifics of the Image Size steps are killing the app (seems to be the Interpolation specification). I made a new action unchecking the image size steps and making them on my end, and I was able to finish up the 3D box without problems. The strange thing I am seeing is that the first step in the second action process (STEP 2) you have a "Duplicate first document", and then you work the entire box process in the second copied document (named as the original document + copy at the end). This seems to be the reason why you might be getting the copy situation. I tried bypassing this first step, and worked fine as well. Give it a try on your end; in the STEP 2 pack, uncheck the first step of "Duplicate first document", and uncheck as well the last three steps (the "Save" and the two "Close" ones), so the automation does not process these steps. Open the automation setup, and choose to handle the Save As in there, and see what happens.

No problem. Just got the atn file from the first post of the topic. If you don't mind, provide me a couple of base images you would use with this action (like 5 to 10), and I will work with it, and let you know.

Hey Robin, the automating process in PS is very strict in the sense that it takes into account every selection you make. The "-Copy" in the filenames occur when you (during the automation recording), select the Save/Save As, and after choosing the path, you click inside the name field or a file in the explorer before pressing the Save button. Doing this tells PS how you want the file to be saved as in terms of name; that's the reason of the "-Copy", as it applies your selection to all the files. If you do not press/select anything at all in the Save window, only the destination folder, then PS will automate to save it with the same name as the original file being opened. The other option you have is to let the automation process to handle the saving, and stop the automation recording before saving, or saving inside of it, but then unchecking those steps before running the automation setup. Hope this helps

From the pic they seem to be isos. Could it be that the scan tool is not acknowledging the Additional Apps (that's why it is only trying to add all the Disc 2 isos, as they are not showing up in the main game list)?

Hey @RULLUR and @damageinc86, I use joy2key for MAME and some PC games as an additional app with a simple script that kills joy2key when the game is closed (so there is no conflict with key assignation with other games/emus once MAME or the specific games are closed). I also use a very lightweight utility called "devreorder" (https://github.com/briankendall/devreorder), that let's me choose the order of all the controllers I have plugged in (or will be plugging), as well as hiding specific ones (i.e. for when a game is not compatible with controller 1 and needs to use 2 as the main one). This can be done for one game, one folder, or the whole system. Let me know if the above might be of help for your setups and/or need any help with it, and I will share what I have configured.
