video snaps are uploaded! most are trailers released from the authors a few I've made myself and gathered from you tube, about 9 games would not record
you could of course import these games under the windows platform or other
and if you missed the sale a lot of these titles I've seen in current bundles on itch.io
sorry this took five months it was a ton of work and I suffered drive failure halfway through
this media pack truly shines in Bigbox with marquees video snaps and clear logos especially with a dual + monitor setup.
there are no executables or game files included but I have included an xml , shortcuts and instructions on how to set this up
click on my profile for other platforms (over a dozen} lots of good stuff with easy quick installs
So I plunked down $20 for both emulators installed them and gave both platforms a go. Turns out when you run the emulator it just runs it's own frontend and you select games from there. Can anyone recommend a command line that will make the games run immediately? Thanks in advance!
I spent ten weeks compiling this set downloading each rom painstakingly copy pasting artwork and re- titling everything, I even got permission from the creator to post all this does anyone know what command line/s one could use to make the emulator work directly from Launchbox? Pico-8 launches into it's own frontend after typing in "splore" to access said frontend , Voxatron seems to just auto launch into it's own frontend the games are pretty cool especially the remakes of other games.

Spotted this fantasy console In JaysArcade's post awhile back and decided to import and share with everyone (his videos are included btw).
From the creators website FAQ:
What is a Fantasy Console?
A fantasy console is like a regular console, but without the inconvenience of actual hardware. PICO-8 has everything else that makes a console a console: machine specifications and display format, development tools, design culture, distribution platform, community and playership. It is similar to a retro game emulator, but for a machine that never existed. PICO-8's specifications and ecosystem are instead designed from scratch to produce something that has it's own identity and feels real. Instead of physical cartridges, programs made for PICO-8 are distributed on .png images that look like cartridges, complete with labels and a fixed 32k data capacity.

The good: 4391 titles all in one place, renamed, complete with artwork
I hung my 40" on the wall in portrait mode - no regrets and lots of vertical game packs, my favorite is one that uses an arcade machine template for each game as you scroll left and right it's kind of the poor mans arcade on the fly
I never got around to messing with BAM I think you just install it and run tables labeled BAM I have two big projects to complete then I'll be updating Future pinball with more tables and more bells and whistles.
I'd just take the movie bits (skip menus and stuff) and import them into Shotcut to make a single video file or alternately find it on the net somewhere.
I downloaded your files, all the files in the opening thread links - .fpt, images and videos, imported the .fpt to LB, in the import process unchecked everything related to info and media download, only checked "combine roms with matching titles into a single game". it imported 2415 tables.
after that i overwrite lb images folder with one your images folder, added the video snaps, replaced the xml with yours.
1. Is 2415 tables the correct amount of imported tables?
2. What is the difference between the "box fronts clear logos" and "cover art" linked content? They both have the same lb images folder structure...
3. How to mass change the tables addresses in the xml file so the tables load from lb? My tables are outside of fp emulator folder and as a result won't load from lb.
should be 2671 tables , sorry things are a bit of a mess I'll be revamping soon, I've never tried running them outside the emulator folder but I think you would have to hi light all the tables in LB (ctrl A) , click on tools - change rom folder path for selected games option and set a new location.
That sounds amazing, but I can't imagine keeping that all running in a JBOG configuration. What if you suffer a hard drive failure? Are you backing this collection somewhere? That cannot be cheap!
Its roughly $750 , artwork and xmls etc stored on the cloud and across a few hds. I keep them mostly offline and un-powered just waiting for 16 or 20 tb drives to get a little cheaper before a proper complete backup - aka "relying on the good ol' internet"
Good job. How are you loading this all in one interface? Are all these drives seperate, JBOD prepared, in a NAS, etc?
JBOD ,4 years of tedious tedious artwork, adding platforms inplementing new non copyright platforms (12 dozen platforms ready to go in minutes - check my posts for links, when net speeds and hard drive costs per tb drop I hope to share all my work with the retro community...
Lou, LaunchBox is not limited to emulation. It's about managing game lists of all kinds. For example, its platform list includes Microsoft Xbox One and Sony Playstation 4, which are not emulated afaik.
And yes, I created PS5 platform in my local LaunchBox installation, but having it in the official database would be nice.
Was more poking fun at how long from now an emulator will arrive, wish I had seen this post, I spent all morning compiling my own haha also although I'm sure I'm missing everything released this month. Perhaps you can upload your set?
Nothing stopping you from making your own PS5 platform - you'll be leagues ahead of everyone in the late 2020s when the first game sort of runs on a PS5 emulator.
I can see some value in a ps5 set in LB maybe for a showcase, it'd have to be hooked up though imo- all the art, publisher info notes video snaps to be worthy
I would combine video snaps with game review videos tacked on , make it something people could peruse to check out ps5 games.
I got bored sooo here's Ps5!! The "roms" are actually trailers with vlc as the emulator.
