If you follow my directions it should work on each gamebase. It was rather easy, although it would be a more official way if @Jason Carr could happen to find a way... I didn't notice this on the 2019 vote

I have never heard of this. Windows doesn't really assign the drive letters to the nas. You assign them by mapping them to your pc. Some people have to create a scheduled task to reassign the mapped. drive on every reboot, but not much of an issue. Now windows had problems with assigning controllers (joysticks) different Id #s, but that had nothing to do with nas. I live my little nas device, I have the readynas 214. I would suggest something a little more powerful for plex and movies, but overall very happy with it.

So first I got my first commodore 64 game working using Joytokey and additional apps. I put a startup app to load joytokey, and then a batch file to kill joytokey after closing emulator. That worked, however it only worked for the one game. I need 20,000 C64 games to work. So I tried an autohotkey script. So I got the autohotkey to load jpytpkeu amd an exit script to run the bat file. However, it didn't run the batch file. So then I tried using the following cod e to kill it. if WinExist("JoyToKey Ver6.1.1 : Joytokey") WinClose ; use the window found above this again failed to load upon exit of the emulator. I have verified both ways worked independently, but not through Launchbox. ------------------------------Edit-------------------------- Ok so I got it working, however I would lke to see how to do it the proper way with ahk script in begging and end. Here is the code I used Run, d:\games\joytokey\joytokey.exe WinWait, ahk_exe x64.exe WinWaitClose ; Wait for the exact window found by WinWait to be closed. Run, "d:\games\joytokey\joytokeykill.bat" and here is my version of joytokeykill.bat taskkill /IM joytokey.exe /F This is specifically for Winvice but you can use it with any emulator, you just change the ahk_exe section

Thanks guys. Anyone know any way to use servo stiks without using rocket launcher? I am currently using rocket launcher with no servo stiks so I don't imagine it will be very hard to set it up, but have been contemplating uninstalling RL as I could probably get most of the things I like through BB now (except maybe Servostik, led blinky, hyper Marquee)

Cool, i wasnt sure as the the site lists emulation as "Discuss emulators, console platforms, and related games." to me that is a software related forum, but that cool. Thanks for looking at the message

@Jason Carr Can we get a Sub-forum under Off Topic for Controllers? So I need to get some user input as to how I should connect and Ipac Ultimate, 2 Ultimarc U360 controllers, 2 spintraks, and 1 Happ 3" Track ball. I originally planned on connecting everything to the Ipac Ultimate. However, I asked Andy how to get this accomplished and he basically sent an email stating "Usually its not necessary to connect the U360 to the I-PAC. The output mode was originally intended for situations where there is no USB port on the host. It will work fine in Mame if just connected via USB, in all games" i know that I don't have to connect it, but what if I change my ipac to Dinput or Xinput mode? Don't I want my U360 to change with it? I also want to use this control for other emulators like N64 and lower

Robin, which game or games do you have this problem with? If the games work fine using the version of launchbox that came with the exodos, but doesn't work when using need version, you should probably ask @Jason Carr.

I second what @Line said above. I also would second the suggestion that we should be able to see the picture of the control panel. Emumovies has a downloaded file with a lot of the arcade control panels included. Errors I have found On Occasion Pause screen freezes up after viewing manual. I thought it was a rocketlauncher, but even after i disabled rocketlauncher it was still occasionally locking up. I tried it on 2 games and it locked up on Bagman mostly. Great Work @Jason Carr

Hi, So I was wondering what the benefits of Rocket Launcher these days. With Jason currently working on Pause screens, and Startup screens working. I know that they set controller mappings pretty easily, but don't know what the real benefit of any of it is now.

Did you ever get this working. Also what size screens did everyone use? I am shopping for one now.,

Here is my command line without scan lines daphne.exe cliff vldp -framefile Z:\VideoGames\Games\Daphne\cliff\cliff.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir "Z:\Videogames\Emulators\Daphne (Customized)" -cheat -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 01000000 -bank 2 00000000 -bank 3 01111000 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 here is my command line with scan lines daphne.exe cliff vldp -framefile Z:\VideoGames\Games\Daphne\cliff\cliff.txt -scanlines -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir "Z:\Videogames\Emulators\Daphne (Customized)" -cheat -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 01000000 -bank 2 00000000 -bank 3 01111000 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480

Do you mean scanlines in daphne or in lb or in all emulators? I have never seen a plugin for daphne scanlines.

So correctly what I have. 1 Nas (4x4TB) Total 11TB 1 Box account (50GB) 1 Amazon Drive (1 TB) Multiple computers and laptops with C and D drives Cdrive is for windows and random emulator user profiles (using symbolic links) D Drive is for LB/BB, Rocketlauncher, Some emulators, All image files (Boxes, SS, etc), Windows games Z drive is NAS and I have All Roms, All Videos, All Manuals, All Music, All Configuration files By not using a backup software to backup my settings, I have no need to make sure that the files have been updated, it is instant. Currently I have CEMU, CXBX, Pinball FX2, Xenia, Retroarch, and MAME running from my D drive with the settings being on the Z: drive. For frontends I use LB/BB and Rocketlauncher (although shortly I hope to get rid of RL and just use LB/BB from the D Drive I have symbolic links from the default folders to my Nas drive. For instance I have a symbolic link from d:\games\Launchbox\Games\ --------> z:\videogames\Games also one from d:\games\launchbox\manuals ----------> z:\videogames\manuals This way there is less configuration to do in launchbox, everything is default. Since @peterrrjr post I now have my images in a symbolic link from d:\games\launchbox\images ---------------> d:\cloud\amazon drive\Launchbox images. Which automatically backs up to my amazon drive with unlimited photo storage, and in turn also sync to my nas drive under z:\amazondrive and to my arcade to d:\cloud\amazon drive\launchox images. Which again means less configuration as all pc machines are the same. If I add images to one pc, it will automatically sync to the other pc within minutes. If you would like any of y other batch files, let me know.

@Lukeyboy67 The problem with your setup is that you are still using your external drive to load your images, not your ssd (as far as I understand). I know that when I tried having my images on my nas it ran really slowly, and not worth the extra time it took. I also learned from my most recent experience, there is such thing as too many symbolic links. I am attaching some of the batch files i created to automatically create the symbolic links I currently use. I will include what I use for Launchbox, Rocketlauncher, and MAME. I also have other emulators. Basically what I wanted to do was have certain emulators on my D drive on both my Arcade and my regular computer, yet have my settings be found on the nas. This way both PCs have the same exact user experience. Run the files as admin @peterrrjr This sounds like a great idea for my images, currently I have them in the images directory on my launchbox folder, and I have to manually copy them over to each pc. How did you setup the cloud service to work the best? Rocket Launcher symbolic Links.bat Launchbox Symbolic Links.bat Mame Symbolic Links.bat

Vertigo, you could setup a shared drive and then use symbolic links. I use a nas system and use symbolic links on all of the important configuration files.

Ok so I use rocket launcher so my actual setup is different but here is the setup to use launchbox, Daphne, and Cliff hanger. I chose Cliff because I am not sure if talking about Lair is allowed. 1. Make sure yur games work in daphneloader.exe 2. add a game to Launchbox and make the game to point to daphne.exe 3. make sure and turn off emulator in launchbox 4. Load daphneloader.exe 5. Click on game then click on configure 6. Set your game preferences 7. Click on advance tab and and enable display command line 8. exit configure and load game, you will now see this screen 9. Click copy to clipboard and paste this information to launchbox edit game screen as shown below. 10. if you notice I delete daphne.exe from the application command line parameters. Now simply load the game! If you have any other questions let me know. If you would like to know how to setup rocketlauncher with Daphne also let me know.

I am having an issue though I have multiple displays but only 1 screen active in Big box and sometimes it loads like this. Quite often today ( i just moved i to screen 2 (which is larger) and I have rebooted multiple times. Sometimes it comes up right, others not so much Edit 1: If I load big box directly from the big box shortcut I get this, If I load launchbox and then big box it works ok Edit 2: If the shortcut is on my smaller screen, big box loads like above on the bigger screen. If the shortcut is on bigger screen it loads correctly. Is there anyway to fix this?

So what is out of order I see 2. unified refried should be under Criticalzonev2 and above unified refried - Arcade. Also Pinball FX should be under Pinball Arcade, The. I just loaded the same theme, mine shows up correctly. However I changed Unified Refried - Arcade to Unified Refried-Arcade to test and It still showed up Alphabetically, but it was changed in the list to correspond with Unified Refried-Arcade. My The Pinball Arcade is sorting under The Pinball Arcade not Pinball Arcade, The. Not saying this is an issue just was unsure how it sorted.

Look above he already answered the videos auto playing. I think maybe the new version turned that off somehow, as mine was unchecked also.

EDIT: NVM, this was answered here

if you have time, if you can link me to the download page or send me a pm with it. I looked and not exactly sure what to look for

Ok so I got those. However what i was trying to do is get what this guy got working. Check it out at 7:24 of the video Ultimate Multicade Edit: Found out he uses LEDBlinky, however is there a database of configuration files for all the games?

@ninja2bceen I din't see any instruction cards. I did find the bezel project and have added those, it was really easy. Thank you. However I am really looking for the instruction cards.

Thanks pitkin

add this to the top of your bat file Letter of drive example D? CD "(name of directory to daphne)" don't forget quotes example cd "emulators\daphne\" So my bat file would be d: cd "Emulators\Daphne v1.0-2.2.11 (Customized)" daphne.exe lair vldp -framefile "D:\Emulators\Daphne v1.0-2.2.11 (Customized)\framefile\lair.txt" -blank_searches -homedir "Z:\Emulators\Daphne (Customized)" -useoverlaysb 1 -bank 0 11001000 -bank 1 00000010 -noserversend -sound_buffer 2048 -x 640 -y 480 then save that as Dlair.bat. If that works post back to here then I will give step by step instructions
