I keep the original romset zip, and all the subsequent romset zip updates in a separate backup folder outside of Launchbox. It's a bit redundant, and it does consume some capacity, but I don't want to have to download those ever again and storage (hard drive) is very cheap now.

Great info - I got into just downloading the full romsets probably 4 years ago, especially for MAME. I simply would download the update romsets, then drag and drop the new .zip contents into my complete rom folder... Since I play roms rather sporadically, I never realized this was completely wrong and I was overwriting the .zip files rather than adding/replacing content inside of the .zip files. I had assumed that the updates were including all original files in the .zips, but this is definitely not the case. I never took the time to figure out why some games, especially a lot of the CPS1 and CPS2 games would not work properly, or at all after performing an 'update' this way. I simply would use a different emulator for CPS1, CPS2 and NEOGEO roms, and use a separate rom folder for those platforms. Now I'm currently downloading all the MAME romsets again, especially since I'm migrating all ROM management over to launchbox/bigbox. Process works perfectly! Well written and detailed!

Hi all - this is my first post here. Been wanting to jump into one of these front ends management programs for a while and I think I picked the best one after waiting and researching for over a year. Anyway, I have the full lifetime account with emumovies and the license for LaunchBox - all the admin 'stuff' is correctly set up. Is there a way to easily and quickly assign LaunchBox to ONLY display the USA boxart images? I have only been pointing to my USA rom files, but for some reason, I have a lot of Famicom and Mega Drive artwork mixing in when all I want to be displayed is NES, Sega Genesis, and Super Nintendo box art, for example. Hope its an easy fix which doesn't involve going into the artwork folders and deleting non-USA artwork - which is probably going to download again automatically anyway. Any guidance would be appreciated! Keep up the great work guys!
