Best choice these days for Daphne is to change over to Hypseus Singe. It includes a lot of enhancements over daphne and plays all of Daphne games + more.

So just an update and maybe a better explanation of how i ended up using my nas with my arcades. The Equipment: I have a total of 1 arcade, 2 racing arcades, 3 pc machines, 2 NAS systems. The plan: I wanted to be able to load my arcade up to any of my devices and get the same experience. If I change it on one, it changes to all How I accomplished: I loaded all roms, updates, videos, manuals, emulator configurations from the NAS I install all emulators as portable and install them all into the same directories on each computer I created .bat files to automatically assign symbolic links to each of the emulators, Launchbox, Rocket Launcher on each computer. For instance, my mame ini files are located on my NAS drive, each computer has mame installed at c:\games\emulators\mame with a symbolic link between. I symbolic links so launchbox thinks my games are in c:\games\launchbox\games when they are really on NAs drive The biggest issue i faced was the images for the games. In my experience when i was running the images form the NAS, it made the system run VERY slowly to load. I ended up installing the images on my arcade and then using a backup program to send it to the other pcs. End Result: It goes in phases and not sure if this is an issue with my configuration or not but sometimes when exiting Mame, it freezes for about 30 seconds, then returns to Launchbox. I'm sure that the games load slower but it is not really noticeable.

LOL. So if you have hundreds of them they tend to take a hit. I had a lot. As far as symbolic links in my launchbox folder. i use a symbolic links so that i can play on any computer in my house with the same experiience. I have Roms, Manuals, Music, Videos on my nas drive. I have Images on my d drive I have all my configurations for all my emulators on my NAS drive I have the actual emulators on my C drive I can either go from my Arcade Machine, my racers, My personal Desktop, My laptop, my kids pc and load any game on any emulator i have installed and it will be set up all the same. There is 1 downfall, for instance if 2 people use the same emulator, sometimes it conflicts and has issues.

Hi i was wondering what the purpose of the core directory is. It seems like it duplicates everything. So there is a launchbox.exe, confiog files, etc. When you have launchbox open there is actually a symbolic lik that links to your data, images, etc folders. This seems redundant and something tht may be slowly down my pc. I also have configured symbolic links to those directories. So basically core is create a symbolic link to a symbolic link.

ok i figured it out. So my Mame section is called Arcade. So for some reason the auto generated lists are defaulted and do not change form looking for platform MAME instread of Arcade this equals zero games this equals 104 games

I also found that if i select to add playlist to platform, it does not show up in my platforms.

Tried to import a new rom set. I picked to not create the capcom, etc playlist but did choose to crete the 2player and genre playlists. The importer imported all my games and created the playlist. However all the playlists were empty. Anyone have the playlists for mame in somewhere around mame set 0.248? Also is this a bug?

yup that fixed it. not sure how it got named wrong

Not sure how wide spread this is, but i was just playing Goldeneye and noticed that the info panel on launchbox shows no achievements available, but there are and I got one.

Hi, Is there a way to login once to epic, amazon, origin, etc and have launchbox/big box remember my logins?

Using Mame 0.249 and Mame64.exe does not compute. they dropped mame64.exe about a year ago. It should be mame.exe . headrush is correct you need to delete those files, but i would also delete any cruisin file in the sta directory also. the analog settings definately make a difference. I have some wheels (original equipment) form a couple of racers, that i can not manually callibrate per game with out the analog settings. If you search google you maybe able to find the post i used that shows all the games analog settings.

thanks, sounds like i need to take this up wit them then. For historical purposes, i also found this topic which suggested using the arcade only version of mame to do a full set. located here

I am having this same exact problem. Except I am using just using a complete romset from PD. When i uncheck skip unplayable games (there are a lot of games that are playable in this list but not complete or has distortion), it gives me 10,000extra files. Now most of these files are not GAMES at all. My question is does the mame.exe itself label these other files as unplayable games or unplayable AND software titles? Is there anyway Jason could filter these files out as they are not games and should never be added anyway. or is this a mame.exe and we need to take this up with them? **Sorry i didn't read second page. I missed it.**

@faeran ok so my main question is, what dictates "games unplayable in MAME" or "non-arcade games"? I ask this because the 10,000 games came because i unchecked unplayable games. Why are things in this picture considered games? It should be liste don non-arcade games (unless non-arcade is the other systems)
