[Game titles in Bigbox slow to load]

I noticed a small bug with Launchbox 7.9 that I have been meaning to report somehow. I don't know if it has been reported before.

If you select "refresh all images" in Launchbox, the forced image cache gets deleted and you have to re-do it. This might be just happening with me, I don't know. If anyone with a small number of games......and doesn't mind doing a Force Cache again, could double check that, that would be great.

Anyone with a large collection of games, that has used Force Cache, don't select "refresh all images" in Launchbox.

Apologies if this has been reported before, and also apologies if I am wrong about this. I feel uncomfortable reporting bugs as I feel like I'm "dissing" Launchbox when infact I absolutely love the program.

Emumovies should always be supported. Circo has done nothing but great things for this hobby..Just my opinion.

This is true. I have done the old routine of sifting through YouTube, downloading PSP gameplay and trailer videos mainly (Not many PSP were on EmuMovies around 2013), and then editing out the intro etc so that I just get 30 seconds of gameplay and as you or others may know.......it is the most mind numbingly boring thing ever. I think I did about 500. I just wanted to be somewhere else.

So yeah, I can really appreciate what those guys do with those video's on EmuMovies.

I bought the lifetime when they had a deal on it, and yes it's worth it.

Hehe, me too. I think I got it for half price \o/

Right, this probably is the root cause of my issue then. Because the platform name is Arcade but the Playlist name is Sega Naomi for eg that's why the associated platform component isn't working.

I'm not sure why its working the way I set it up then, I don't really care tbh but I like the explanation. I'll give your script a whirl!

I also noticed that you didn't have the "don't use quotes" checkbox checked in the very first screenshot you posted, whereas Brad has his one checked.

I don't know if this matters but it's just a thought.

***Edit. I've just looked at my own screenshot and neither do I have it checked lol. I am only running Dreamcast from Demul, so I dunno. Maybe worth a look.***

We can't even get the Games DB complete, never mind a movie database. Kodi and Ember is the way to go as lordmonkus mentioned.

Haha, I was going to say this. Let's finish one thing first, or "concentrate all our fire" on the Games Database. (Quote from Yoda AOTC).

Thanks for the suggestion, thats quite specific for DreamCast, he did another one for Naomi which I followed to a T but, at this stage i'll try anything.

No worries mate. Try my suggestion of setting up a number of different Demul's on your system. You can name each folder something like "Demul 0.7a (Dreamcast)" and "Demul 0.7a (Atomiswave)" etc. They don't conflict with each other as they are self contained.

And then set up each one as a separate emulator in Launchbox for each system. That is the way I would approach it. I'm loathed to use Demul in the same way you would with say, RetroArch. Anyway, just my 2 pennies :-).

[A little help with Demul]

You need to add the "command line parameters" as per Brad's great tutorial video on YouTube. For some reason, your equivalent "edit emulator" box doesn't have an entry. I am only using this for Dreamcast though, and none of the other systems but this works for me for DC. It has done for years on another frontend as well. I love Demul so much more than NullDC.

If you can't get it to work, my advice would be to setup another installation (or as many as you need) of Demul and use those to deal with the Arcade systems. That way, settings won't conflict when trying to run all these disparate systems. I have dabbled with Atomiswave and Cave in the past and found I had to use separate installs of Demul for them (with another frontend). It could be just a case of you have too much going on for just one emulator. Start small ;-)

I thought maybe the Demul I had might have had some conflicting config but nah, even with a vanilla install of Demul it still does it.

 

 

Nah, you can use as many separate Demul's as you like and they won't conflict. All the settings and configs are kept within their folder.
