I have found the instructions that I have used to set up my config: I hope it can help

I am using MAME with default command line parameters: svision -cart But I dont remember if it needs some other files

I disagree "Import MAME ROMSET metadata" is more misleading than "import MAME Full Romset" Because when I use that option I dont import only metadata, but I am just working on a full set, choosing what to "import" in LB/BB. For example I can exclude some type of games So, I am just importing a full set inside LB/BB.

Hi again, just trying to organize my whole collection... In launchbox folder, images/playlist I can see a lot of "name collection" I think that they are a premade set of playlists. But in which way I have to create them? I can create a normal playlist naming it in the same way or I have to make LB/BB to precompile them like for arcade (2 players, 4 players and so on)? regards and sorry for my questions P.S. Happy new years!!!!

thank you very much! Maybe I can change names that I should have misstyped or add images for that are missing.

Hi, I'll try to explain what I am searching but I dont know the right definition. When I load bigbox I can explore my platforms, then I choose a platform and I see the game list. In some platform I can see a background image with the logo "Nes" on top, for example", and a background image (Mario for example) while scrolling games. In some platforms, or playlist I see a black background with the BigBox logo on top. So I think I am missing some media but I dont know which is the right folder or procedure to insert that media. I am not sure, I think I am using Unified theme (that's the name that appear in option, I dont know where to check it). I am using default setting for that theme and I think that if for all platforms is working maybe it does not depend. Anyway in theme option I can set an image background, but I fear that it'll set it up for any platforms. I know that I am a bit confused, but maybe someone can help me. Thank you!

thank you! But in "Application Path:" I have to insert the name of the software that I want to use or the name of pdf? And where I insert the other one? I see that I can start a software before main application... I just can start a joy2key for example? So I have to insert the joy2key path, right? Usually which software are used to start before or after? Yes, I am very curious because I like to improve my LB/BB, anyway for the last question I'll search on google, I dont want to bother you too much.

Hi all, I see that I can add an additional app. Usually I have seen that it is used by alternate versions of a game. But I was reading the Beta 11.8 testing topic and I have read that you can add...pdf? Manual? I am asking this because I'd like having what follow: for some games I'd like to view a pdf with the review (like Zzap64! for C64 games). Can I do it? Can I show the magazine only with RMB or can it appear a link in the front screen in LB/BB? What can I add also with additional app? Thank you for any reply!! Regards

Bitmap Brothers Playlist video View File Hi all, I was searching a video to tribute the GREAT Bitmap Brothers Game with a playlist but I wasn't able to find one. So I have tried to make one. It is very simple and with imperfections but I have done it with passion. So I hope you can appreciate it even if it is my first video. Anyway, if you find another one...tell me! But meanwhile...

When I started LB/BB I was thinking to take only my favourite games. But I have found a lot of game that I never played an I was enjoying it. So I started to collect games, games, games. We know what happen, you collect and then you dont play. And if you play...which one you play? When you have thousands game is hard to choose and it is quite impossible to try them all. So I started to think to divide games in 2 categories. Then I learnt the magic word "playlist" Now I can collect what I want and then prepare a playlist to divide games. For example at the moment I'd like to prepare a playlist to collect Bitmap Brothers Games. I love Speedball, Chaos Engine, Xenon, god... But the only problem is that I am not able to found a playlist video for it...sad. Maybe it is the time that I take my adobe premiere...but preparing video takes a lot of time. Collecting and creating playlists is the way I found to reconcile my obsessive side of collecting and the pleasure of playing.

Y OU A R E G R E A T thank youuuu!!! You have helped me a lot!!

There are a lot of reasons. A different version can be a little different game. If you take classic mame roms there are a lot of difference. When I was young I was playing bubble bobble with no enemy firing,then I'll discovered that the original had firing enemy. You can have more info also looking at the new series on Netflix...high score if I remember well I had a jap USA snes and a EUP snes, game were faster on USA First psx that I had was en JAP... I prefer some jap games due to the language talked (Winning eleven "HotoShiiuto" when I kick ball) I dont want a "Tosec" like set, because it keep a lot of garbage but a "nointroset" it is complete for me...also a Tosec...yes, I am a maniac, yeah (I am using this "names" only to identify better what I am talking about)

Ehi, thank you! I know that I have to share my thoughts here. This seems an excellent solution. No, sorry, it is THE solution! If now, I remove rom (scan for removed roms, after moving DIR) and then I'll add again, media are already downloaded, true? Thank you again!!

Ok, thank you. I am importing game dividing in groups, cause they are too much. thank you! I'll deal with that then, I cannot import 2000-10000 roms in one time, I download media at very low rate So, when I'll discover that I miss a rom, I'll force it and then I'll merge it. Damn, I hoped that LB'll add later the game. Thank you again! Seems easy to import, but all has always a lot of different aspect.

Combine ROMs with matching titles into a single game option is always checked

Hi, I am a bit confused. Usually I have: 1 game, more versions, alternate names, I can launch them with RMB. For example: Platform: SNES Game: Demon's Crest I have 4 roms, I have imported them merged. If I click right mouse butto, LB show me the other versions. Also they appear in "additional path". I have imported in the same way what follow: Platform: Game Boy Game: Atomic Punk I have 3 roms, LB imports only 1 rom. LB show me the alternate name. If I click RMB it does NOT show me the alternate versions. They does NOT appear in "additional path". If I try to import again LB tells me "0 game imported" What is the difference?

Thank you! And good work with your awesome compilation!

WOW there are tons of games!! Where you get all the video? Here on the forum I am able only to reach some. Some playlist video are, for me, unobtainable...sigh

Hi all, I have 2 problems now. I'd like to make some playlists, I love this features! I make an example. I do Mario playlist. I click on autopopulate and I enter in Title Field "Mario", so all games containing Mario in title comes out. Also games that I am not interested in or I miss Luigi Mansion that I want to insert instead. I cannot insert more field because I think that they work with AND function and not the OR. SO I was thinking to edit that games filling the field Series for each one with Mario br., and then autopopulate with series "Mario br." Can it work? It is a field that soon or later may change downloading metadata? That was the first question. How do you your own playlists? Second one. I'd like to insert a video presentation for my new playlist. Have you an idea where to obtain new playlists video on the net? In download section there are some good ones, but there are other resources? Emumovies has not that type of video. Thanks for your help!

Also Atomiswave works great! Only for some games, naomi too, I dont know how to control them...but maybe they needs some special one

I dont know if it helps, but this afternoon I was searching some informations on a game that seems not to work and I have found this page that contain only info, I hope these are useful: http://members.iinet.net.au/~lantra9jp1_nbn/gurudumps/naomi/index.html the game seems dumped but I am not able to understand if it is in good condition or not.

I dont know if this can help but I have created a playlist with my favourites that appears together with the other platform category when I launch BB So, when I start BB I have: -Arcade -Consoles -Computers -Handhelds -My Favourites -Others collection that I want to use Few voices, I dont know if you can set one specific voice at start

A lot of online games are based on a rank. So if you are a novice, you should play with novice too. And anyway all people has the right to begin, so dont worry and dont listen toxic people. Have fun!

I had some issue with clear logo, because I am totally noob. But I resolved and now I can see them. The perfect way I think is: put them in the right DIR and rename them as your platform. Check in LB the dir path and they have to appear in the edit windows, in Images, like "Clear Logo" (with Right mouse button - Image Type - you can assign a different categories) then, if that is all correct, in BB you have to refresh clear logos Keep in mind that you can assign different Clear Logo in platform, platform category, playlist, so check the real one that you are changing. I have done a playlist called Commodore 64. It takes my clear logo of Commodore 64 platform. But if I insert in the right DIR (playlist) another Clear Logo, it override the first one. So I use 2 different Clear Logo for Commodore 64 I hope it can help
