  1. Take a look at the path that Launchbox is looking for. 

    Press CTRL+E on a game that is not opening and click on Launching on the right side. Verify that the path is valid on the new PC.

    Another thing to look out for is the emulators need to be in the same location on both PCs.

    We dont generally link to emumovies either, we mention it a lot, but i dont see it linked really, also the music files there are also locked behind a paywall, so it it was a direct link the average user would not be able to access the content, so not really a direct link either. As you say though, i dont mean to argue either, im just enforcing the rules as im given them. 

    Also a few years back we did have a user uploading his game audio rips here to the forums download section, we had to remove them and ask him to stop posting them, so you are not being singled out in this respect. At the end of the day this is a legitimate company selling a legitimate product, and we have to be very careful as to what is available here on our website. 

    Thank you for the explanation.

  3. I have created a new website that has complete game music soundtracks specifically for launchbox.  It is still in the somewhat early stages but I am ready to let everyone know about it.

    I plan on updating this regularly and I would like feedback either here or there is a contact page on the site.

    I currently have Gameboy, N64 and NES done and should have SNES done is a week or so.

    Well the torrent is actually 562, so you say that if it is installed, the size stays the same? I thought games would be installed individually, thus making it way bigger than 562GB? 

    I think this is what you are asking so....

     

    Torrent = 562 GB

    After Running Setup = 637 GB

    Installing every game = 1285 GB (estimated since I don't have all the files in one location)

  5. I am having a problem with Launchbox not downloading all the images for 3-D Ghost Attack for the Atari 2600. I have tested Launchbox versions 10.15, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6 and 11.7 and they all get the same images but there are more in the database online.

    This is what I am getting.

    This does not appear to happen to other games. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Another one for the community to ponder.  Should Sid Meier's games have the "Sid Meier's" prefix?  Lots of places refer to "Sid Meier's Civilization", lots of others just to "Civilization".  I think *most* of the game boxes had "Sid Meier's" in small print above the game name, but some didn't (e.g. Civilization II MGE).  After pondering quite a bit (and actually putting the Sid Meier's prefix on my own LB games) I have come to the conclusion that it make more sense to leave the "Sid Meier's" out of the titles (tough call, clearly I've wavered!).  More importantly, though, I think someone should make a decision for LBGD and they should all be aligned that way.

    In my opinion it should be left alone, since that is the correct name of the games. It is well known that it was originally a marketing ploy for Pirates and Civilization and they just kept doing it after that. If I am remembering correctly for the game database, the name of the game is supposed to be what was on the box.

    thanks, that worked and i can use other DosBox versions aside from the default DosBox by LaunchBox.

    but i could not run the setup/setsound.exe for the Dos game with my added Emulator (DosBox ECE), it just launches the game exe? even though i added setup.exe under Additonal Apps and point it to use Emulator (DosBox ECE).

    ticking the default DosBox works however. the console shows that it still only launches the game .exe file instead of setup.exe.

    It has been a while since I messed with dosbox stuff, but if I am remembering correctly I made 2 .conf files. One for the game and one for the setup files. They were exactly the same except for the .exe file. I have never tried to do it the way you described.

    @erebus44 I tried what you suggested and I ended up with DOSBox opening and telling me the conf file is not a valid runtime file.

    In the past I had individual batch files for different DOS games that called DOSBox with the pointer to their conf file before I migrated the way I launched all my DOS games to Launchbox. I was hoping I could configure Launchbox to point to the xBRZ launcher to open DOSBox and avoid configuring all my DOS game individually again with batch files.

    It may be a setting error. Here is how I have mine set up.

  9. It looks like the "displaying # of #" games is incorrect when on some of the "arrange by" options. I tested it on "Status" and get the error, but on "Title" it is correct. I am using beta 6. I don't know if it was always there.

    Sounds good. I can see you've been progressing pretty steadily. I can't go at nearly the same pace as I did with the eXoDOS collection, but I'll get started at the back of the alphabet and move to the front. Fortunately, there are a lot less games in this collection than in eXoDOS.

    That's great. I should be finished with the A's today.

    And on that note, I'm FINALLY finished updating/uploading all the games from the @eXo DOS 2.0 collection to the database. 

    Please note that any games that have changed / been added in the 3.0, 3.1, or 3.11 releases haven't been added yet because I am only mortal. I'm probably going to wait for the 3.11 release of all 5 volumes before I do them. Maybe I'll do the Win3x0 games now? I don't know, I'm tired...so very tired...

     

    Funnily enough I started doing this so that eXo wouldn't have to do as much work importing the collection into LaunchBox, but now it looks like the collection will already have all the metadata/imgaes included, so I guess I just did it for me? Sigh.

    I have been (slowly) working on putting the win 3.1 games in the database.  If you do end up working on them, perhaps staring with the Z's and working backwards and we will meet in the middle somewhere?

    Ensure that you have your clear logos in the folder Images -> Platforms -> (Platform Name) -> Clear Logo and in the Big Box options go to Options -> Image Cache and click Refresh Platform Wheel Images.

    That did it. Thank you for your help

  13. Love this theme, you have done a great job on it.

    I do have one problem though. I cannot get the logo to work on the the platform wheel for 3 of my systems. 

    • NEC TurboGrafx-16
    • Nintendo 64DD
    • Nintendo Famicom Disk System

    The other images, background, pointer, etc work just fine for those and every other system has the correct logo art. I am at a loss as to what else to check. Any ideas?
