Thanks mate

So my Launchbox on the Nvidia Shield is up and running, but I have one question left. When starting a CPS3 CHD game, Mame(throug Retroarch 64) asks to load the CHD and that takes like forever... is there a way to skip this? Thanks for your help!

Can't find that option on my Nvidia Shield Launchbox 😞

Launchbox recognized the new USB and put it automaticaly in the data folder. Unfortunately all the paths to the games remain on the old USB. I guess that I need to change them manually, or just delete all and import them again? Funny as I looked up several games that way by key words, but that didn't work for those two. As I probably have to reimport all the games, I qill tey it with the current zip names before I trick LB again 🙂

Thanks, you mean if i put the correct file name in the game title that the DB will find it this way? Didn't try that before. Another question: I guess that I need another USB with 512GB instead of the 256GB that I'm currently using. Can I just copy over the Launchbox folder or are there any complications to be expected?

Ok, i've imported them with changed name and the DB recognized them. I then downloaded all the arts for the games and finally I renamed the zips back to the original names as i couldn't run them with the new names. Then i changed the path in the metadata and now i'm a happy man 🙂 Kind of tricking the DB 😉

I just googeld the current names of the games in 0.251 and they indeed have other names. I assume that I could just rename the zips accordingly and then the DB will recognize them?

That dosen't seem to be the issue. I tried out several things tonight and i was able to force the import of Dynasty Wars(dw.zip) and Street Fighter II': Hyper Fighting (sf2t.zip) by unchecking "use mame data base". However, even when I fill out all game data with the exact informations available on the Homepage Launchbox DB, I couldn't find the games in the Database and even worse, Launchbox chrashed several times when triying to do so. I now have 2 working games, each with a game video found in the Emu Movies DB but no matching logos, boxart and more due to the fact that the Launchbox DB dosen't find the game. Is this a bug? THis one is solved as I finally found an emulator in Retroarch that does run the games and doesn't crash when starting them. The core is fbneo 🙂

Not a complete Newbie as I already modded my mini consoles and previously ran Retroarch on my Shield. But a virgin when it comes to Launchbox 😉 I was able to install Launchbox(Premium) as well as Retroarch(64, sideload) and everything is up and running. So far I've successfully added the following systems: NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, N64, MS, MD, SegaCD, 32X, GG, DC, PS1, Atomiswave and Naomi. Unfortunately, as expected, I'm running into problems with Mame, especially Capcom CPS 1-3 games. Problem 1: Unable to add Dynasty Wars and Street Fighter 2 Turbo for CPS 1 as the upload dosent scan the ZIP files. Is there another way to add the games? The games are running in Retroarch, so i guess that the ZIPs are fine. Problem 2: All CPS 3 games go black when I start them up in Launchbox. I run them trough Retroarch fba2012 CPS3 core and they work fine in Retorarch directly, but unfortunately not when I want to start them up out of Launchbox. All in all i'm quite happy with Launchbox on my Shield, but these 2 problems dont let me sleep. Help is appreciated
