@JoeViking245 Hey there Mr. Joe: Have you tried your plugin on PS1 games? I was thinking about making a copy of my PS1 rom folder (up close to a TB though) and giving it a whirl. From what I am reading, using RetroArch and the Duckstation core, I think the core supports chd's. Couldn't find docs on the core in RA docs, but found some reddit posts that said it supported chd's Any thoughts, opinions? I would love to know how much hdd space it might save. -
Seems to be a "timed-out" issue for me. Getting 1000's of error the past couple days, especially with video snaps and taking forever to scrape (many minutes). As it stands, Emu is kinda useless in LB for me if it doesn't improve somewhere. I noticed folks from here are posting there as well with no response yet. Hopefully we will hear something from somewhere soon
-
Thx @Retro808. You're right, sorry 'bout that. @faeran kinda hit on that earlier.
-
Yeah, this isn't improving, yesterday & today the errors are in the 1000's now.

@JoeViking245 Hey Joe, how does it handle games with multiple discs? Does it put them each into a chd (disc 1, disc 2, disc 3, etc.) or combine them all together in a single chd. I suppose same question about multiple versions as well (USA, Japan, Europe or Rev 1, Rev 2) I am just now getting back on PC and looking more into things and noticed I still have a few that didn't seem to convert.

Great NEWS! I converted about 200 3DO Interactive Multiplayer games, the pluggin worked great, moved files fine and bezels are working as expected. Concerning changing it to run in background? I agree with ya, maybe you can add a option for the user or something, doesn't make much difference really. Added note: My 3DO Interactive Multiplayer rom folder went from 114GB to 79GB. Awesome HDD space saving!!! Thanks for creating it.

I had just finished all the fixes and just now started the conversion process. I can confirm the utility is moving files from a NAS folder to a different NAS folder One thing, not sure if you can do anything about it, but as I am trying to type this, each time a new game starts converting, it take the attention away from here and I have to keep clicking back on the forums to type again. I will let you know how it does with the bezels after they are finished.
-
I'm going through my messed up 3D files and fixing them now. After that, I will see what happens with a copy of that and report back to ya concerning the bezels and the NAS. Keep your toes crossed
-
@JoeViking245 Hey Joe, You do some awesome stuff for LB, thank you. I got a couple questions for ya. 1. Are there any issues that you have found after converting when using the bezel project? 2. Do things work well if the roms are stored on NAS (using mapped drives)? I know LB will NOT move files when using the Cleanup tool 3. Will is rename the chd file after the cue file or the iso file? (I got some messed up 3DO roms where cue files are named correctly, but calling iso files from within the cue, without countries suffix)

Is anyone having issues with EmuMovies using v12.10.3 or is it on Emu side? I started getting tons of errors after updating to v12.10.3. UPDATED: I noticed it seems to be mostly the video snaps, get 100's of these "timed out" errors:
-
okay, ty Sir, will report if I run into it again -
Sorry Dave, in a text box, I used a bullet (ALT+7 in Windows)

@y2guru Hey Dave, are you able to incorporate/look into special keyboards characters in CTC. Every time I try to use one, CTC throws an error and crashes. They do seem to sorta work in CTC, when you re-open CTC they are there and after you publish the theme, the theme is showing them. Just curious. Error.txt

Dark Bounce View File This theme uses a dark rock wall background with blue-ish white shadows. This one works great on larger gaming rigs and folks that have their gaming media stored on a NAS. The video below was made on my main rig with 22,000+ games and all the media and roms being stored on NAS using mapped drives, Launchbox was installed on mechanical HDD. The video does much better showing the theme than the screenshots. (the bouncing and the slides) I used my custom icons for genres, play modes, number of players, custom controllers, etc.. I designed this one mainly for Large Screens and TVs (16:9), but this time I created it in Stretch Mode in CTC. This is the first theme I have tried using the Stretch mode, so if you run into strange looking issues let me know, preferably with screenshots, I am not sure how to properly test the other screen ratios yet, but from I was able to do, the theme was looking decent on the different views in CTC. This time I put a more focus on the Arcade (MAME) platform, using game specific Arcade Cabinets and the Arcade Controls (looks will depend on your artwork) as well as play modes specific to the Arcade platform. (the ones like 2-Player Alternating or 2-Player Simultaneous) if you use them. My custom Genre Icons have grown to over 300+ now (includes the PS template to make more if you need them) and I have over 100 controller images in this theme. The Platform audio I used was a male voice. I increased the volume a bit and added some reverb. Video (wall views in video are showing original version, version 2 is different-see changelog below): Installation: Download, unzip, copy the folder "Dark Bounce" into your Launchbox "Themes" folder. The Windows Media Player in Bigbox will work best with this theme You can also set the theme up to show if the game can be played in Virtual Reality, Online, PvP, etc. if you want. Artwork is included and already in place. Instructions for setting up the 4-5 custom fields can be found on my "Game On" theme page. (https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/3256-game-on/). It's pretty simple. Thanks goes out to @y2guru, @faeran for there awesome contributions to CTC/LB/BB work and videos. Also @viking for his great stuff as well as @RetroNi. Some of the logos and videos used from their contributions. And of course anyone else I may have un-intendedly forgot to mention. Leave comments and suggestions and I'll see what I can do. Spring is here, so gonna be slowing down with this stuff. If I can keep away from it -Enjoy & thanks for trying the theme! Submitter The Papaw Submitted 03/22/2022 Category Big Box Custom Themes

Thanks for taking your time to make these, much better set! -
Good Deal! thank you Sir

Thats great, I thought a mighta seen something about it in one of your videos a while back, but wasn't sure
-
I didn't figure you could, sure would help in platforms like arcade though. I am sure it could mapped to something or combo if it was available in BB. The answers always no if ya don't ask. Thx @y2guru for the reply

Is there any way to add a wheel index to a wall view?
-
Use too, if you had a video name with certain punctuation characters in it, it had to be replaced with an "_" (underscore), but in some like ":" (quotation) you could also use a "-" (minus). In the last release or two, this no longer works. Example: Star Wars Jedi- Fallen Order-01.mp4 (was working fine) Now I am having to go and change MANY videos named this way to use the underscore - Star Wars Jedi_ Fallen Order-01.mp4 Any chance this can be fixed in upcoming release?
