  1. 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

    Pico-8

    Voxatron  

    The not so good: The emulators are $19.99 on the creators site you can still play the games online however.

    For you creative types in the crowd you can make games with pico-8 also.

    Expect future updates, artwork fixes and emulator info (still haven't bought mine) a little later.

    I actually added your Doom Mods to my set up. I'll check out your other stuff.

    My image file is 118gb. I dont mind uploading it to my Dropbox if you want it.

    Yeah that's kinda large I wouldn't want to tie up your internet but I appreciate the offer.

    Be sure to check out my Wolf Mods I went all out on it lots of artwork and extra stuff.

  6. Nice collection! How large is your images folder and would you be interested in uploading it?

    Not trying to advertise but you should check out my releases I've got over a dozen platforms - Wolf mods doom mods

    Future pinball some art and media stuff , Touhou and touhou related platforms click on my avatar and check em out.

    Most are quick drag and drop installs literally take seconds, I also am big on artwork everything should have a box front and clear logo

    and video snap at minimum.

  7. 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.

    @lou silver

    Thanks for this thread and effort.

    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.

  9. Get the XML file copy it to Launchbox/Data/Platforms

    Copy the Box fronts clear logos etc stuff to Launchbox/Images

    Get the emulator and the instructions to set it up properly.

    You could do these things and then start downloading all the tables-

    they go in the tables folder found in the Future Pinball emulator folder

    I've retitled all the table names from lower case so mixing in other people's

    stuff might mess things up. ie missing artwork tables etc however as my

    screenshots show this is a complete set box front / clear logo wise.

    Will be starting a complete revamp of FP soon BAM updated tables -

    a better emulation solution artwork and maybe a complete video snaps set.

    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...

  12. Nice!!  How long has this been around?

    It gets rid of the annoying scroll to top after deleting

    a game annoyance, and a nice little game count letting you

    know how many are left!! We approve! ?

    This is fantastic, but how do I get bam to work with FP? I can load tables but BAM features do not work??

     

    THX!!

    Shaun

    I never bothered with it but I believe you have to play BAM tables to take advantage. I could be wrong.

    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.

  16. Knocked this out earlier today - its Sony Playstation 5!!

    While neither perfect or complete and definitely not a replacement for the real ps5

    platform, think of this as more of an Exhibition lots of artwork and metadata

    compiled for each.The "roms" are Ps5 game trailers btw.

    Lots of art and metadata , notes etc included, set vlc as default emulator.

    Four platform videos to choose from also ?

    Download: Sony Playstation 5
