only bump, any thoughts?

ok got it working. if anyone else runs into the issue, i imported skipping clones, even though LB has recommended next to import clones. after that, all good

ok so i got this version running outside of LB and i have set up LB per the instructions above. when i try to launch robotron (i have the merged rom set), LB errors that it couldn’t find rom robotronun.zip the merged rom is simply robotron.zip and that’s what was imported. so not sure why it’s looking for a different rom. i tried loading alternate versions, same thing. thing is, all those missing roms are in the merged robotron.zip rom. am i importing incorrectly? will this only worked with unmerged roms? so close i can taste it EDIT: if i go into the edit metadata and select the correct rom, robotron.zip, it now works. but i really don’t want to do that for 4k roms another example, defender won’t start cause its looking for defenderb.zip. changing that to defender.zip, game now starts

hi guys, As I go thru my collection to streamline as much as i can get onto a 1TB SD card, I would like to set up a platform for FMV games. Those games take up a lot of space and I'd like to get them all under one umbrella, no matter the platform. Reason being, as an example, I can have the best version of night trap on there and not have to remember, if I want to play that, I need to go to the 3DO section. Just thinking out loud :)

i imported 32x cd games into it's own platform but when i try to select an emulator, it only let's me select "custom emulator". and i am super green on android to know what the emulator package info is. any thoughts? thanks all for holding my hand as i ask rookie questions

lol, sorry, i got excited

oh that great! it’s the last emu i need on this unit and i’m pulling my hair out on mame! curious if you might have an estimated date for the beta? i won’t hold you to it, just curious

apologies, new to android. i changed the platform name but the blade still says wii. is there a blade for the menu that says wiiware?

what am i doing wrong? i pointed to my rom folder, entered this info, starting a game says it can’t find the rom in the folder that i pointed to. i’ll my roms are merged might that have something to do with it?

i’m new to the android game… anyway to get LB to access usb sd card? i’m running pimax portal which i believe is running android 10?

hi guys, it would be awesome to have wiiware titles as a separate platform. thanks!

hi all. i have lb running on my pimax portal, love it! launch box can see the internal memory and the sd card. then i tried plugging an sd card into a usb-c reader. android OS can see the drive and i can copy files from it to internal or the internal sd card but lb doesn’t seem to see that usb-c sd card. any tricks to get lb to see the port?

fantastic thank you!

yes please! upvote from me!

hi all, i pulled off my main ice the mame 234 rom set. some are working, some are not using the fbneo core. anyone know which rom set version this should be using? thanks!

hello, just got my android license, couldn’t be happier. as i have been testing cores, some games have core A, others have core B. is there a way that i can force all games that i have tweaked on a platform to use one core? setup a standard core for that platform that will override any testing i was doing? thanks!

fantastic idea to have them selectable in LB.

just curious if anyone has ever made a doc with a glossary of all the fantastic scripts in this thread? you could break up scripts by function (chapters in the doc), cross reference by emulator specific, etc. just a thought

hi all, there used to be an app that did this but i don't think it's been updated in a long time and i can't even remember the name of it anyone know of a current app or plug in that does the following for MAME? you select specific control layout, joystick, spinner, trackball, etc. number of players, alternating or simultaneous play, etc. you then set up the controls for that control type and the app or plug in outputs all of the ini files for those games to be put in the mame ini folder. the reason for something like this... you can set controls globally within mame but there are so many exceptions that you will then need to tackle on a per game basis. some examples: twin stick shooter like robotron. it's an alternating player game so the two sticks i would set up would be different then the two sticks i would set up for say smashtv as that is a simultaneous 2 player two stick shooter different button count games. for a game like street fighter, you would set up the buttons three over three. so within MAME, button 4 would be the first button in the second row of buttons. But for a game that is 4 buttons (neo geo games for instance), you would want to set up 4 buttons straight across on one row. i hope this makes sense and that someone may have a lead? thanks all!

Joe, you are my hero! this isn't the first time you've helped with one of my stupid questions I really appreciate your insight man!

just thinking out loud on this... wouldn't it be possible for LB to compare two XML's, eg 255 vs 256, and then only display the differences found?

looking for a small icon for my platform list for lightgun games. i created a playlist that is in my plaform category and it's iconless

already running this, works brilliant! just cant figure out cpwizard to create the template of the panel.

i think im getting too old... i have a third screen that i would like to show my arcade control panel layout with buttons labeled. i found CPWizrd but for the life of me, can't figure that app out, basicallym i want to layout my panel in the ap, assign the keys to the buttons, and much like LEDblinkym have those button labels updated based on game selected, showing the button label (i.e. punch, kick, fire, etc.) anyone have any suggestions?

bless you man, really appreciate the assist!
