  2. https://ipmsg.org/tools/fastcopy.html.en

    I just wanted to pass along this info to see if it can help any other users. I was looking for a backup solution for my LaunchBox setup as I keep everything on an external USB 3.0 HD and carry it around and worried it might get knocked or corrupted.

    I came across FastCopy and it's the easiest solution I've found for backing up my setup. It's a small lightweight program that allows for verify Disc to disc copy but also a Sync option.

    Once you've made your original back-up, there-after you can use the Sync feature and it will Copy & Delete files from the Source drive to the Destination drive, so it will not only move new files over but remove unneeded files as well.
    This also doesn't need to be from drive to drive, you could do an entire drive to a folder on a large NAS.

    Anyway, I had been looking for a solution and wanted to share, hopefully this will help out someone else as well.

  3. I don't know much about how disk space is use, I know it has something about allocating a minimum amount of space per file... or maybe not, but this seems a bit of a stretch for the Image Cache folder. Is there something I can do about this folder and or the entire drive?

  4. Real 3D Logo Set

    View File

    This is a logo set built, lit & textured in 3D. There are multiple angles of each logo to suite what you are trying to do.

    If something is missing that you would like to see, please comment and if you can provide a vector(.eps or .ai) version of the logo, that will speed up the process tremendously.

     

    Give credit when credit's do.

  5. I seem to be missing some MAME games that have no reason to not be there.

    When I import MAME my settings are:

    Import Clones
    Skip Mechanical Games
    Skip Mahjong Games
    Skip non-arcade Games

    I have a "perfect" set of 0.1888 confirmed by ClrMamePro, so i know they are all there.

    But for example I'm missing;
    "House of the Dead", I do have HOTD EX, 2, III & 4 though
    "Dead or Alive", I do have DOA++, DOA 2 & DOA 2 Millennium
    "Fighting Vipers", I do have FV 2
    MegaTouch XL 6000, I do have 3, 4, 5, 6

    Those are only the ones I've noticed... I'm not sure why these are missing.

    I've even tried to import them individually.

  6. I'm looking at building a UDOO x86 or an Intel NUC with LB... But currently I run everything off an external usb 3.0 hard drive, so i'm able to take it around with me to different PCs and use it. So when i'm at home i'm using a i7 with a GTX1070, but when wer're messing around at work, we use one of the basic windows computers we have.

  7. I see a lot of tutorials on how to change the look of Big Box, but where do I go to alter the menus of Big Box.

    I've setup my Platform Categories in LB as;
    Arcade; where the Arcade platform lives and the arcade system playlist.
    Arcade Playlist; where all the arcade playlist(system agnostic) relating to arcade live.
    Consoles & Handhelds.

    I would like to setup my BB menus as followed.

  11. Is there a way to pull additional Metadata from ROMs during import?
    All the below Metadata I know is available in MAMEUI, I don't know how that correlates to LaunchBox.

    When importing MAME Roms, I'd like to also pull;

    • Type: Raster, Vector
    • Screen: Horizontal, Vertical
    • Trackball: Yes, No
    • Lightgun: Yes, No
    • Golden Age: Yes, No
    • CHD: Yes, No
    • Original Game: Yes, No

  12. Just wanted to share my progress on my Project. I'm not quite sure where I'm going to take this, but I believe I'm going to try to make an all-in-one joystick/computer with HDMI output using either a NUC or an ODOO.

    Feel free to ask questions or send any feedback, this is my first time making a MAME/EMULATION Machine.
    Would love the feedback on any issues you might of ran into that I should watch out for.

    IMG_2490.thumb.jpg.573b9f73009c74d1d14ab22c6bc90965.jpgRemoved the protective sheeting, this is where we used a material called "Glass Adhere" to print on for the graphic, it's a non-sticky adhesive material. Think Window cling.

  13. So I I’m gonna go with Udoo, in your opinion, for emulation and running LaunchBox smoothly... the $100 difference between the Advanced with Intel Celeron N3160 2.24 Ghz & 4GB RAM or theUltra with the Intel Pentium N3710 2.56 GHZ & 8GB ram? From ETA’s video, the Advance will not handle Dreamcast and up very well, is the Ultra enough to make a difference or not worth it.

    it would also be nice to play some Steam/Arcade game, like Mortal Kombat X & Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, which is only $15 on steam right now FYI.

  14. Thanks @mothergoose729, yes my main pc is a ITX computer and I love how small it is, but I do have an i7 and a GTX1070 in it so it’s by far not underpowered. I really like the idea of making this ultra portable but a little more stronger then a pi. I also want to build off of LaunchBox which binds me to the NUC or UDOO at the moment.

    I honestly thought the GPU was the bottleneck of the emulators with lower end PCs but from what I’m understanding, it’s the single thread cpu I should be keeping an eye on.

    I may start with an UDOO just for price point and since I’m building off of a Windows base, can easily move to a NUC.

  15. Thanks for the insight @lordmonkus, I'm getting ready to make my own cabinet and I was trying to find a way to keep all the internals in the controller area, that way the controller part could transfer out of the cabinet when I needed it to be portable.

    I wish I could test out one of the Intel i5 NUC with the 640 GPU. It starts at $330 with/out memory or HD, But if it ends up not being that big of an improvement over the UDOO, that's a big price jump with little gain.
