No problem Zombeaver, happy to help you understand

Anyway thank you for you reply, I'll moderate as best as possible now

We'll go OT, anyway Lordmonkus was saying that he does not want to remove scummvm because people ask for it... when we follow the majority we are in democracy. Got it?

I was pretty sure, but seeing a lot of box from other platform I started to be unsure. So I'll reject when I see images from different platform

Yes, a game can be on more platform...but a SCUMMVM game from which platform comes? Maniac Mansion SCummvm is from DOS? Amiga? SNES? which front box you should accept? All? I dont agree with your point of view because I dont believe in democracy, but I can understand it. Is for that I'd add a special list like Namco Classics. Anyway, It is not a "problem" for me having a SCUMMVM platform, I'll simply not use it. But it becomes a "problem" when I have to choose a game to add like moderator. I can accept to add Maniac Mansion to Scummvm platform...but which version? Which boxes? Which screenshot? Or I'll accept everything? (and then...why to moderate it? Sorry my english

I understand that I have done a wrong question. I try to change point of view. And I make an example. I like to help moderating games DB. I start to moderate and I find a game...Maniac Mansion (it is only an example, because I dont remember all the titles, sorry). Who is adding it has chosen Scummvm like platform... But we know that Maniac Mansion is a game for: C64, Amiga, DOS, SNES ecc So, I think that it should be added to the right platform, because it is different for each platform. I have seen a request to add a Scummvm game...with front box from DOS and Amiga at the same time... I think that GAMES DB should be accurate (I have seen a lot of errors in front box of japan games for example). So, I think I have to reject the request to add, because that games is already present in DOS platform, or because there are "inappropriate" images. What do you think about this? I think it should be better to remove SCUMMVM platform and make a "special list" like CAPCOM classics or NAMCO classics named "SCUMMVM games" Or help me to handle it when I try to help moderating, please

There is a thing that I dont understand. Scummvm si not a platform. It's a software, it is an engine but it is not OS or a platform. http://scummvm.org/ So what I dont understand is...why people add Games to this "platform"? A game run under an OS, like Amiga, or DOS, or Windows..not SCUMMVM. Otherwise, dosbox should become another platform. I dont agree having Scummvm like platform.

Yes yes, no problem. I was only worried to not make some chaos in DB Anyway, thank you!

Thank you for your reply! Seems that this plugin is more easy to use. So I can update the games with the missing media and then send them to games DB. I read that I can update metadata, like overview field. I am italian, so I'll probably change some overview to my language, copying from some magazine like Zzap! ...the question is "I do some damage if I update data changing language?" For example, I have Slimey's Mine (C64), I have the original cassette. So I can make some real scan and then add a review in italian. In gameDB this game there is not. So when I update it...I update in italian, but here all people speak in english... (I have submitted it in english for all, it's only an example for now) sorry my bad english

Thank you for your reply!! Found GamesDB and checking guide lines What is LB Discord server?

Hi all, I am quite new here and I am enjoying very much my Launchbox-Bigbox. I dont like to add thousand of roms, because I like to play what I add. So I take care of my few roms, adding missing cover, missing comment, missing video and so on. But I think that what I am slowly adding can be useful in the future for others. So, where to add my works? The download section seems to contain packs, and not singular media. Moreover Launchbox database is not updated with all games. How can I help to update the missing text, games or other? thank you

Y O U are GREAT!! Yes, the problem were the quotes. To use my command line I had to change the rom file name in one without blank, because with blank in name you have to use quotes before cdimage and after rom name. So changing name was a way to avoid the quotes problem! But I didnt remember that there was other paramther to change. Maybe now I can make work also the other roms! Thank you again!!!

Hi, I am using winuae in launchbox, fs-uae has saving problems that I am not able to resolve. From dos command line I write: winuae64 -f cd32.uae -s use_gui=no -cdimage=Fullpath\to\.cue and it works without problems If I insert: -f cd32.uae -s use_gui=no -cdimage= in Launchbox personal command line and I try to start my rom...it launches but load only Amiga CD 32 logo with the request of CD. So, I suppose, it loads all but it cannot find the cue file... What I am doing wrong? regards

Hi all, I am new here...totally new. I have bought this Launchbox and emumovies. I am very happy to play, to setup and to "live" in this news videogame world. I play from 9...I have 43...so you can understand me. Ok. I am here to make some questions. I have looked a lot of tutorial video and I have tried to search in the forum but there are some questions that I have. Anyway I suggest you to organize the tutorial, because I dont know where to look for some, probably, easy questions. What I have understood is that there are 2 types of video. Normal playgame video and the theme video...the ones with some static graphics I suppose. I want to use launchbox with normal video, with a lot of details, adding personal scan from my collection. But I'd like to use BigBox for what it is born, cinematics. I have downloaded some platform cinematics but cant work. I have put video in theh video/platform folder, i have named it like in bigbox (arcade folder, arcade.mp4), I have launched it but I am not able to make them appear in retroflash theme...why? what I am doing wrong? second question. I'd like that my arcade collection is shown with cinematic video, one for each game...but I want to keep the normal video in launchbox...how I do that? Can anyone help me or direct me where to read/look how to setup this things? Thank you ! gabriele
