Make a Coinops platform with shortcuts to each Coinops packs. Snag up a random rom file and run the usual import rom file option but name the platform CoinOps Drag n Drop your Coinops shortcuts into this platform and delete the dummy rom file you used to get the platform started. Updating my Coinops platform and sharing it with everyone is a near future priority so keep posted ..

Never attempted this just bookmarked it years ago , might help Comprehensive guide to hiding Windows 10 completely for arcade cabinets

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish but it seems a bit unneccessary Delete all but the Atari St games , rename "Games" to Atari ST and put this folder in your Launchbox/Games Folder Move that unzipped Atari ST images folder I shared to Launchbox/Images Move this xml file to Launchbox/Data/Platforms Atari ST.xml all that's left is to add an emulator - there's video tutorials on you tube for that I use Hatari and the Retroarch hatari librettro core

I've had the same issue when renaming /removing platforms Go into Launchbox/ Backups remove any instances of the unwanted platform/s from there as well as LB/Data/Platforms.

Atari 800.7z all my art for atari 800 , it took forever getting box fronts expect a few placeholders

I googled the 55 platforms I didn't have or ever hear about and only 4 really had any promise for importing - the rest were chinese clones, kid toys , vhs based games and canceled/failed projects. I'm assuming most are dumps with no emulators - Unisonic Champion 2711, Sega - Beena, Zeebo and Benesse - Pocket Challenge W , there were a couple other albeit smallish sets that might hold some promise , I'll revisit this later. Came across this post listing what systems have no emulator although its a bit dated it should help people know what to avoid if they so wish.

By no means is this definitive and yes there are a few placeholders 111 titles SAM Coupé.7z

Consoles and computers killed the arcades plus 50 cents to a dollar to play - forget that. I would suggest throwing a party at Chuck E Cheese - they let you play all the games no quarters needed. That pinball place looks awesome too. I would tell Jack Black about it he'd probably go there and film for his Youtube Channel

Love to get that 12gb set Zombeaver , I have (25gb worth) 1000 maps 2000 characters downloaded but not all the ones I added worked so I gave up and just stuck with 150 Premade titles I can share all the media if anyone wants it however the games add up to a whopping 125gb

I do try to combine duped stuff so when you right click on a game you get all the revisions etc,, so they exist without being counted , haven't gotten everything sorted out on some platforms yet, by no means is this complete *story time* A few years back I had a normal ho hum 60 k of titles nothing special really it was chock full of holes artwise... then I saw a youtube video of this guys collection it was nothing special other than he deleted all the games missing artwork and it looked awesome! I knew I had to have it for myself and tickled with the idea of collecting everything just for kicks, So two years later I got to 100 thousand games with all box fronts done, silly me - I thought I was done , then I kept finding more and more games and the number just kept growing , admittedly some is fluffery and not everything is completely roms I do have some video sets, gaming magazines and other random stuff. In conclusion I'll say anyone stubborn and determined enough can do this , I won't hold this thread hostage anymore -PM for any other questions /tips you might need , thanks

Nothing really backed up , some stuff on the cloud mostly relying on friends and family builds I've done, I usually keep and plan to clone my 2tb LB drive again as that's really the most important thing. I'm still in the adding and editing stage really and most of the time I keep everything sitting cold only plugging in what's needed my end goal is to get a fifth 8tb and shuck the externals and replace my LB drive with a 2tb nvme, accepting all donations ?

4 x8tb external Seagates 2x3tb 5x2b 2x1 tb in projects and games havent added plus a few loose drives here and there no nas just plain old internal and external drives I started out on a few 2tb drives then got some 3's and finally over the past two years the 8tbs thousands of hours doing box fronts (for that complete look) only 20k left in my build if you need anything for your build lemme know

I looked the numbers up before 250k was If I remember correctly roughly the number I came up with , add in all your other online services too and its maybe 10 to 20k more - I've been pretty vigilant in nearly 4 years of hunting games I rarely come across new platforms.

Launchbox 2020 look for yourself also platform art in Images/Platforms for everything included 3.1 gb dl Google "how many games does steam have" 30k is the answer at least from awhile back Praise Gaben!! I'm around 50tb of total space and condensing and removing drives since my 8tb #4 arrived yesterday so the actual collection size will be a little less than that

172k in my launchbox, Blue Maxima's Flashpoint has 38k, steam has at least 30k add in xbox 360 xboxone ps3 ps4 and switch I'd estimate 250k roughly is the ceiling currently.

I'd leave the cabinet alone and get a tv , a pc and some controllers, spend a little on a swiveling wall mount for the tv too Ive used Launchbox vertically it looks really cool although you'll be limited to vertical games hence a swivel mount suggestion It's relatively easy to import hyperspin art vids and games all have their own folders and the file structure is pretty simple in LB I would recommend downloading current emulators and using LB tutorials for setting them up. Message me for some other goodies and info.

It actually runs decent on a solid state drive - I keep a scratch build for projects with about 40k of games on average It's a must have for editing work , just copy all your art & xmls from one build to the other when you're done. I wouldn't rely on older versions as you'd be missing out on new features and fixes.

this might help too look in images/platforms I use a mix of mspaint and Lunapic "double-click image downloader" for lifting images off the net (Firefox) game name png google searches are helpful too for placeholder clear logos I'll go here and design something https://cooltext.com/ Shotcut for video editing Amd relive for capturing gameplay,

clear logos.7z

Wondering what the specs of the old one were maybe build a second comp out of that with some cheap upgrades and defintely get a gpu regardless

I do a mix of working on my build, playing games , doing real life work, errands etc.. although it can be tedious especially hunting down / creating artwork it's still enjoyable to have a project or two in the works, and to see the final product done and complete (box fronts, clear logos and video snaps are my minimal standards) is very satisfying, Launchbox 2020 includes all platform media and xmls for your convenience/use 172,000 titles roughly 40 tb probably more counting things not added yet

It's a platform and a resource if you want all the videos, I haven't updated since it's release so there's more to add if one wanted

That'd be great to get going? , I was confusing the version number I think with another project , getting the newer version as well and wow even more games added ! 200k here we come? two other Blue Maxima projects to I'd like to see working in LB - http://bluemaxima.org/auditorium/ after some manipulation and help from Monk I got all this imported into LB maybe youtubers and arty types might find some value in this (I just did to see if I could) of note the pack although 260gbs, from the author's site does contain art This could also be used as a funny prank considering there's over 100k of stuff Flash Animations.xml ttps://bluemaxima.org/kahvibreak/

Latest version 7.0 has 36k games! , asking Blue Maxima himself stated most likely the new build won't work in Launchbox. Just bringing up the subject of another front end got people a little defensive although I explained my goal is to get flashpoint working in LB not to replace it. Anyone want to tackle this and share some xml's? I'd settle for an old one if anyone has it and wouldn't mind sharing.

I've just updated my Future Pinball set, more tables updated artwork and xml included to run tables you need the autohotkey script thing to be your fp executable, unzip the tables to their own folders in Launchbox- -Emulators/Future Pinball/Tables and when importing search for fpt files I've done all the work for everyone , got the tables, renamed them, compiled all the box fronts and clear logos Everything you need including instructions is included 2600+ tables If you're short on storage space just skip the tables downloads and get everything else, get the tables later or add your own and use the scan for removed roms function in tools menu to get rid of non existing tables
