    Flash collection (Flashpoint) import guide

    in Collections and Builds

    Posted

    Got the games working and the images to show but still having problems getting the games to run in Launchbox. They run fine outside of launch box. I have the games on F:\Games\Flash Games.    The emulator is under H:\Launchbox No Intro\Flash Games\Arcade. Believe my problem lies within the bat file

    pushd %~dp0
    cls
    @echo off

    cd H:\Launchbox No Intro\Flash Games\Arcade
    cd F:\Games\Flash Games
    cd :\Launchbox No Intro\Flash Games\Arcade\Redirector\Redirect.exe

    echo.
    echo Setting up web server...
    php.exe -f "update_httpdconf_main_dir.php"

    echo.
    echo Starting web server...don't close this window! Close Launchbox when it opens and this'll go with it!
    start "Apache Server" /b httpd.exe

    cd ..
    cd ..
    cd Redirector
    echo.
    echo Starting games redirector...don't close this window! Close Launchbox when it opens and this'll go with it!
    start "Apache Server" /b Redirect.exe

    Recently started have an issue which very well could be something in the settings I've missed. I have my games on several different drives. When I import games from a drive that is not the drive Launchbox is on everything works great . If i go back and scan for new roms it finds no new roms even if I have some. If I do the same on the drive launchbox is on, both operations work fine.

    List of few questions

    in Noobs

    Posted

    Been using Launchbox for a couple of months now. Converted from another front end that I had been using for a number of years. Still importing roms and I am cleaning up images as I go along.

    1) I know that the more platforms I have, the slower launchbox will be at startup. Currently setting at 130,151 roms and still have quite a few to go. Still very happy with the speed of Lanchbox. (Once I load Launchbox I keep it up most of the time so that I can play when I feel the need .) Is there a magic number of games  that caps out Launchbox. Want to add ExDos and some Flash games and that will increase the number quite a bit.

    2) I have lots of sub-platforms. (prototypes, Hacks, Japan, demos etc.) Hope if and when nested platforms come out, it will be easy to convert. Any ideas.

    3 When you manage platforms, you get a nice list of platforms and number of games. Is there a way of printing said list.

    4)When new images are added to the download section, are they also added to the database. Or, do I need to download and install manually.

    5)Is there a way to do a search and install for metadata and media for just a single platform and not everything.

    6) I have Launchbox and my images on one drive and my games on two other drives. Other then re importing or changing the drive letter on each game in the data file,  is there a way to change the drive letter for games. I at times will import on the same drive as Launchbox , and have happy with I want done, I move the games to one of the other 2 drives. Really don't want to delete and re import.

    7) How do I change the image on a single game. I go to edit a game. Scroll thru the media, find the image I want. I hit ok but the image doesn't change.

     

    Thank you Jason for what you do and the community for always being there when we users have questions.

     

    Problem setting up Platforms

    Lol, well that would of been useful information in the first post. :) Then you shouldn't be doing anything with retroarch in Launchbox as RocketLauncher is the emulater not Retroarch. You will need to edit the retroarch module in rocketlauncher to recognize the non standard systems you are trying to use. The module will only recognize Correct platforms names and you are setting up non correct platform names, this is a rocketlauncher drawback and nothing to do with Launchbox im afraid. You will just have to get your hands dirty by editing the module.

    My bad. I'll only use Rockertlauncher because of the many bezels available. I'll play with rocket launcher ans see what I can come up with. Or I may just try to do it thru Retroarch and bypass the bezels

    Thank you so much for your help

    That sounds like you are using RocketLauncher as it mentions the module, is that the case?

     

    Yes Sir.

    If I put the games back in the MSX folder, they  work fine. I checked Rockerlauncher and they are pointing to the right folders. Could the dashes or another character be causing they problem?

    You will need to add it as a associated platform for retroarch. Just go to tools/manage emulators/Retroarchh and scroll to the bottom and double click in the blue box, type the name exactly as it is called in the sidebar and point it to the core you want to use.

    Thank you for the quick reply.

    I've done that several times. The error message reads Your Systemname: Microsoft MSX - Games - [CAS]  is not one of the known systems for for this Retroarch module: Retroarch

    Getting close to the 10,000 games imported. I have started to split my games up into small bite size categories and have encountered a problem. When I just had one category for a platform,(Example - MSX)  Retroarch worked with no problem Now that I have split the platform up I get an error. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Example: I have a platform named: Microsoft MSX - Games - [CAS]. When I try to load it thru Retroarch, I get an error message saying that the platform is not a known system under Retroarch.

    Any help would be appreciated.

     

    Thank you
