[Confused about media downloading]

I'd also like a deeper understanding.  After my initial run, every time I run it, more images are being deleted from my launchbox folder(?!).  The last run almost 10% of my images were deleted.

I choose the second option each time.

Super cool!  Why does it say Launchbox? 

[Playlists for best 2-4 Player Games (Simultaneous Play) for multiple systems / consoles]

I think the issue you mention is fundamental in the Launchbox DB.  It shouldn't be hard to find 2/3/4 player games.

I noticed that for the "play mode" field for console platforms, the value is "multiplayer", even when the Launchbox DB value is "4", which should instead be a value like "4-Player Simultaneous".

Nevermind, I figured it out.  The filters use "OR" instead of "AND".

Selecting 25-30(?) platforms for a playlist makes auto-populate kinda pointless.   

It would be nice if all fields were searchable, and the filters were additive (AND) instead of just "OR" in the future to allow inverted queries.

Thanks for the replies.

My workaround:  Batch edit every handheld platform and set the field portable=true.  This seems to be an unused field.

Auto-Populate: True

Title contains = "Golf"

& Portable = "False"

I want to create a playlist with games from multiple consoles & arcade titles.

I guess I can't do this:

Auto-Populate: True

Title contains = "Golf"

& Platform Category = "Console"

[PS2 ISOs and PCSX2]

28 minutes ago, spectral said:

There is no compatibility issue. However when you can use the US version. PS2 was an SD console and as such still used the old TV standards (NTSC in the US/Jap and PAL in the EU). PAL runs at 50hz so EU games are actually slower than the US version. The same holds true for pretty much any console older than the Xbox 360.

The reason EU ISO's are bigger is usually down to them having the audio for more languages included.

Hmm..  So the EU versions would be preferred for low-end hardware?

It looks like "Platform Category" doesn't filter games, it only groups playlists

[handheld vs console Playlist?]

I don't want to seperate, I want to a field to filter for auto-populate.  I set my auto-populate playlist to "Platform Category: Consoles", but Handhelds are showing.

How do you auto-populate a playlist based on platform category?  Example: auto populated playlist with only console golf games.

[handheld vs console Playlist?]

Is there a way to filter for just console games to create a playlist?  I see a "portable" field, but not sure what it does.  I don't see any others that would be relevant.

Thanks

[How to find 4 player Console games?]

I'm having trouble finding 4 player games for anything other than the Arcade platform.  They appear to be numerically labeled in the games DB (Play Mode = 4), but appear as "Multiplayer" in Launchbox.

Also the Launchbox DB submit form only supports numerical values for Play Mode (4), not the values in the Launchbox UI (4-Player Simultaneous)

Is this deliberate?  How do I create a playlist for 3/4/6/8 player console titles?

Thanks!

[Playlist with title "Is Not Equal To"]

Should this work?

Play Mode = Blah

& Platform Is Not Equal To BlahBlah

& Platform Is Not Equal To BlahBlahBlah

I tried and it ignores the "Is Not Equal To" lines
