Hi, just signed up to the forum but I've been tinkering with launchbox for a month or so now and need some advice.
Originally played around with Launchbox on this PC but the plan is to do a fresh OS + LB install on another HDD I have lying around. Being absolutely oblivious to Retroarch before today (and then reading about it) I'm not sure what the best way to go about the way I emulate with LB is.
The convenience factor aside, for the systems Retroarch supports will I get just as good or better results from it in general rather than specific platform emulators?
Regardless of which way I'll set it all up, I'll eventually be buying premium for Big Box mode, and the navigation with a controller is bliss to me. I'll be using a variety of controllers across many platforms but can I configure multiple controllers to be able to control the UI no matter which I plug in at any given time or will I have to remap everytime I plug a different style controller in?
If I have snes controllers plugged in, quit the game and go back to the frontend, can I unplug them and then use PS1/2 controllers instead for the UI (provided they were already mapped previously with intention to go play some psx) without having to reboot LB?
I did see the setting up MAME tutorial for LB, and with the MAME import wizard. Can the skipping genres/prototypes etc process be applied to other systems in any way? (Sorting games with many millions of versions/clones/etc can be frustrating)
Edit: I've come across an issue I have where I've imported let's say 100 games (mix of bootlegs, official, hacks etc) and out of that I deleted 20 from LB (not the files) and I want to move the remaining 80 games or cleanup the folder. Is there anyway I can get rid of all the games that aren't currently imported into LB for that platform without manually looking through?
I may have more questions as I think of them, but thanks!
