I have my games backed up on identical hard drives but as for the LB side of it I am just risking it as it is not backed up.
-
The artwork on it is okay, but detracts from it a little. I would of went with something a bit better like this or this.

@alec100_94 thank you for your detailed answer, very helpful and greatly appreciated. -
I have some PS2 games that consist of two files, which are .mdf and .mds. Which one of those I need to add to LaunchBox for PCSX2? Also, I was looking for a list online of compatible file extensions for PCSX2, but I cannot find one. Is it just .iso, .bin and either .mdf or .mds.? Are there any more? I ask because I have about 1.3k games each in separate folders and I do not want to leave any out when searching during importing. Thanks in advance.

Upgrading my collection's drive...inquiry...
flatuswalrus replied to cleverest's topic in Collections and Builds
That is often a source of frustration unless money is no object, which it is to me. I filled up my 8TB, so tonight even though it hurt I just deleted my NDS, N3DS, PSP, PSP-Minis & MSU-1 titles. Reason is I would not have really played those all that much anyway, except the MSU-1 titles. Though I needed the space for my newly acquired 1,200+ PS2 titles. I guess I had to decide between spending money or deleting games I was not likely to play all that much. I started out trying to obtain every game on every system but it just got out of control so I have been cutting back. I know that probably does not help, but would you possibly go down that route also? -
That’s very cool, it’s such a large library space wise. I look forward to exploring the PS2 more as I only ever had a handful of games for it.
-
Out of curiosity has anyone obtained a full PS2 library? I have been trying to get there for a couple of months now and gee it is time consuming. I have not seen a full set available, understandably so due to the size. So I have been acquiring them individually. I have 910 titles thus far but won't add them to LB until I am done. Boy oh boy I look forward to having all of that PS2 goodness!

Holy crap, that is devastating. That’s my worst nightmare. There was a big storm here the other night so I turned the computer off and pulled the plug out from the wall. I know you’d do that in a storm anyway but I did it just with the games in mind as they are so precious to me. How did both of yours die?
-
Just add them as their own platform, during the adding process pick any emulator and then after they’ve been added uncheck the use emulator checkbox in the game options. That’s what I did anyway and it worked.

I completely agree with that statement.

Cabinet Controls Thoughts and Setup?
flatuswalrus replied to kiddanplay's topic in Collections and Builds
My old arcade cabinet was 2 player and had two joysticks with 8 buttons each player, 2 light-guns, 2 spinners, 1 trackball and a keyboard/mouse. It all worked just fine but occasionally the PC would have a spaz-attack and something would need re-configuring. That is bound to happen with PCs, they have a mind of their own at time. I have seen FAR more complicated setups out there that seem to work. I think like everything though the more stuff there is the more chance there is something will go wrong. You just have to be prepared to fault find and fix when stuff decides to play up a bit but I am sure you can get it where it will run smoother than a babies buttocks. -
I have two hard drives that are mirrored for my LB setup as well as two hard drives that are mirrored with my films, shows and music. I double everything because I have too much stuff to lose. It would be far too devastating to lose it all. So, if one of the hard drives for any given media I have fails I would immediately rush out and buy another to back it up again. If the crazy occurrence happens where both failed simultaneously then I'd just kill myself.
-
I vote for it to be used as the official LB flash games platform background/video, haha.
-
Yes indeed, I am sure every system's library of ROMs has been downloaded many many times by many people. I guess because these flash games, or at least all together in the one spot aren't all that easy to come across which is why a lot of people are showing interest. When people kept asking for them my brain just had that image of vultures circling around a corpse, waiting and wanting.
-
Vultures are scavengers. Everyone wants these flash games and are hovering around just waiting to get their claws on them, haha.
-
I have not gotten around to doing individual videos for my SEGA Game Gear 'platforms' so I just use the one @viking made for all of them. As for the logos, I added them here.
-
This is much needed. When I first started LB I made a bunch of games hidden because they were missing artwork with the intent of making them visible again when artwork was implemented by either myself or an updated database. I did not know about the list view until now but it is not the easiest way of doing it.
-
Haha, true. It is funny because out of my near 35k games I religiously play two of them and have about fifty in total that I cycle through. Though every once in a while I add one into the regular rotation or focus just on it solely. Games are like films, shows and music as there are far more I dislike than like. I am a self-confess data-hoarder but am trying to kick the habit, it is difficult.
-
Yeah those kinds of game are pretty funny and amusing. I got the shits tonight and deleted the DS games from LB along with all the metadata and media. I deleted all the European and Japanese stuff (which I do not normally do) but with the DS there was just too much missing metadata and media. I renamed the U.S. stuff to be more tidy and will upload/add it again with better results, hopefully. Sometimes when things get too finicky I find it better to start again. That Chicken Shoot looks fun. Do you have any kind of lightgun or are you just using a controller or mouse? I would love all the Wii games. Only thing with the Wii though is I would have to wait until Retroarch gets better compatibility for it as I try to only use MAME and Retroarch for everything. I have 637 Gamecube games and they work pretty good through Retroarch, but not the Wii or WiiWare stuff (which I have 343 titles).

Additional Nostalgia Platform Videos View File These are some platform videos I have made to fill gaps in my setup that had not previously been done. I use Viking's Nostalgia theme, so the videos are in that style. They might not be as great as Viking's quality work but they do the job. I like to split some of my systems up into different categories/platforms. As the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive is my favorite system I have split it up into what you will find here.

I know that what system may have the worse library of games is subjective but after having sorted through 90% of my NDS ROMs I would like to say it is a FACT that it has THE crappiest library of games out of any system, every! If I was stuck on a desert-island I would rather play a game of let a crab bite my ding-dong than play 'Germany's Next Top Model', 'Cory in the House' or 'Drake & Josh: Talent Showdown' on the NDS. I know there are SOME decent games on it but the system was basically for twelve year old girls and a platform to cash in on crappy reality TV shows.
-
That looks great. That would be perfect with shmups and I agree you can't find a better one to test it with than DoDonPachi. I have been playing it like crazy lately trying to better my performance. I was just thinking of getting something like this for my TV but I have always wanted to do something like you have there too, decisions...

They are actually uploading right now. They should be available in the downloads section in hopefully no more than a few hours. They are taking an annoyingly long time but I will let you know when they are done my good man.
