i haven't tested it yet because I had my RP2 setup like that and made copying over new content a real pain. I'm pretty sure the export wizard within Launchbox desktop would work if you formatted as internal storage. Your transfer speeds will suck but might make up for it not having to actually import everything manually. Honestly, I always spend so much time tweaking these kinds of things I'm really just trying to enjoy the games this go round. Right now images on internal storage and ROMs on SD is working well for me.

You know after a playing with this a bit more I realized that the ROMS can indeed live on the SD card, just the metadata images that are being forced to my internal storage. This device has 32GB internal storage, so like 24GB useable storage. With my 128GB microSD card it seems to be working out for me. Skipping the download on the movies and might do some further pruning to just keep the images I really want. Really don't care that much about the backgrounds and haven't seen screenshots show up anywhere. I even prefer the plain text list over the clear logos because it's easier to quickly navigate to whatever I'm looking for. Would like to see options for default view and what images get auto downloaded but all things considered it's a really polished look with a great feel for popping between games. Would like shoulders or triggers to page up/down to make things just a bit more convenient trying to get through hundreds of titles. Also, the SD card can be formatted as internal storage so I may go back and test that at some point. This way the device could be plugged in and desktop Launchbox content can be copied over using the wizard. The big drawback with this method is the device severely limits the speed of the transfers. In a perfect world, it would be nice to have everything I need on the SD card itself. Could even have a system or two on one card and other systems on another that you could easily switch between. Still, this device has really exceeded every expectation I have in a $100 device (Unlike it's predecessor, Pocket 2, let me down in many ways). Launchbox Android is just the icing on the cake. I use Syncthing to sync my save states between devices, that way I can save my game on the Retroid and pickup on my Windows PC. As long as the ROMs have the same name in both places everything gets named as it should. Be really slick if this was built into both versions of Launchbox.

Understood. I know the Syncthing dev has been fighting this as well. I'm open to doing a remote session with ADB if that would help at all but I also understand fixing a bug that only 2 users are complaining about probably isn't the best use of your time either. Love LaunchBox and would love to be able to export my stuff to the SD card, pop it in and go but I'm working around it and making it work. I very much appreciate all the hard work that has already gone into this project and despite this issue I still thinks it's one of the best options out there. Anyway, if I can help, short of mailing my device to, just reach out.

I've run into this issue as well. Please update your software to support these awesome little devices (Retroid Pocket 2+). DIG lets me place ROMS and metadata on the SD card, LaunchBox should as well.

Syncthing works okay for this. I've used it with Retroarch to sync content, save states and system BIOSes and what not successfully for a little over a year. The problem with using it is that when the LaunchBox Windows Desktop version exports to the same location it first deletes everything in that path and then exports, deleting the .stfolder that Syncthing uses to keep track of things and thus breaking it. You can still use it, but it's clunky and very easy to break. I can export to a temp folder, as I believe was intended by the default temp path, and then copy that over, but if you're exporting games from an existing system the XML metadata file will be overwritten and again you have to be conscious of the .stfolder/.stignore files/folders. The export process needs a lot of work, hence the beta status. I would like to see the export process improved to where we can add content to an existing export. Being able to change the default export to something else would be nice and maybe an option to exclude certain files/folders from being overwritten/deleted in the export process. I hope these things can take a little more priority because while I can see the way that it currently works for people exporting a bunch of content to a tablet or something, I think there are probably just as many if not more people like the OP and myself who want to cherry pick from our massive rom collections and add a game here or there without re-exporting everything again.

I've added a new system and the clear logo was downloaded automatically...

Already in the program? How do I use those? Some of these were already in Launchbox. I removed TurboGrafx-16 and readded as NEC TurboGrafx-16 (since that seems to be more in line with the other platforms) now I can't get the clear logos to show up in BigBox despite downloading from elsewhere and adding through LaunchBox. EDIT: Just talking about the Platform logos themselves, not game clear logos.

I've added some new platforms but I can't figure out how to make LaunchBox download the images for those platforms, namely the clear logos. I believe it's in Download Metadata and Media... but maybe I'm not be selecting the correct options.

Wow. I feel stupid. LOL

Bumpity bump

I'm trying to relocate my videos and images to my NAS and have successfully done so, except for my Platforms & Playlists videos. I can't seem to figure out where to change these locations.
