As requested, i've added a column of ROMs
I also deleted Future Pinball for now, and will get into the Pinball section later
Currently downloading missing Metadata & Media for all platforms (takes a while for 84k games) -

So you just imported the Apple IIGS ROMS with MAME set as emulator and with "apple2gs -flop3 " set in the "default command line parameters" under the Apple IIGS "associated platorm" for the emulator? I tried that, but when I try and open a game in LB, the pointer just changes to a sand timer for a few seconds and then back again; MAME/the game doesn't load.
Also - "number of ROMs" would be a great column to have in your table.
And - what is the "how" platform in your table (at the top)?
I had a "number of ROMs" column too, but it seems that the number Launchbox first reports imported and the actual number in the list changes.
So for now i've excluded it.
Can't find any "how" platform

Great spreadsheet Romfrosk. May I ask;
- what does "ready" and "imported" mean under the system status column?
- why do many columns have the "emulator" entry missing?
- how did you get the Apple IIGS working with MAME?
Thanks!
Ready: Roms downloaded and ready to be imported into Launchbox
Imported: Files imported into Launchbox
If there is no markings under Emulator, it just means i havent started to set up an emulator yet, or i have not found a working one.I have created a "Dummy Emulator" for import purposes. which is really just RetroArch with no systems.
I have used the following command line for MAME for Apple IIGS which started those i tested
<CommandLine>apple2gs -flop3</CommandLine> -

Thanks, I thought yours might be of a relatively similar nature. Yes I enjoy setting up some of my systems into regions etc. I normally have a full U.S. set then put the exclusives for Europe and Japan separate into their own platform. Then I make their own clear platform logos and Viking's Nostalgia style videos for each. It is incredibly time consuming but good fun.
Calling it a day for now
Got an additional 11 systems working. and imported quite a few new ones.
Also have 70 new systems ready for import.
Also downloaded Colpipes awesome pack, so that i could use his artwork
Added a spreadsheet myself to the original post -
i Loved your list
mine is mostly the same actually
I see you have split it into languages, i might do that too when i get the systems running
-
I have been looking at Colpipe, and will try to get more and more systems running.
These last few days have been more "cleaning" and getting down all known "No-Intro" or "TOSEC" packs out there.
After reimporting some systems with strange errors, i will start getting more systems up and running.I see that both MAME and RetroArch can get most up and running. but i need to find specifics for the rest.
I'm filling out a spreadsheet as i go, and will upload that to the main post soon
-
Looks like all my systems from A -> Co are gone from my launchbox.
Will troubleshoot some before i recover from backups. or reimport.

Thanks gamerboii
Today i've been importing more of the planned systems, and mostly cleaned up my romsets.
Either by getting zipped versions or download more complete sets.MAME 0.197 released today and i got my setup up to date there as well.
tonight i'll be trying to get more systems working
Imported Systems: 131
Imported Games: 75.361
Working Systems: 81
Systems missing:
Sega Model 1
Magnavox Odyssey
Interton VC 4000
Game Wave Family Entertainment System
Taito Type X (and others)
Sega ST-V -
My mistake, i totally forgot about another game folder which was massive.
I have corrected the stats above with my new data, as i also added some new systems. -
So a small update after a weekend of working with my setup
I have removed a couple of systems from my planned list as they included few and "not interesting" games
Mainly spent time on getting newer MAME roms, getting new emulators to work, and get fullsets for some uncomplete systems
Imported Systems: 100
Working Systems: 65
Total Games: 60k
Planned Systems Total: 110 -
So it's my turn to try this amazing suite of software.
Will update with replies below, and update the total stats in the main post
I'm a "hoarder" as you may see, and i'm trying to get as many systems as possible to work in Launchbox
If you have any tips for the more "obscure" systems out there, please let me know.
Imported Systems: 252 (+2)
Imported Games: 104.540 (+1597)
Fully Working: 124 (+18)
Semi Working: 33 (-4) [Missing Controls or no autoload]
Barely Working: 29(-9) [Missing Commands to start games]
Not Working: 67 (+5)
Missing: 3 (--)
Total Storage: 6,93TB (100 GB)
Total Systems in ROM Folders: 238 (--)
Planned Systems: 256 (-2)Fully Working - Games start, and able to play
Semi Working - Games start but not able to find the controls easily
Barely Working - Machine starts, but don't know how to start games
Not Working - Can't find working emulator
Updated: 27.05.2018
Focused on getting more systems to work.
Added missing ExoDOS collection
Added OpenBOR and Bandai Pippin
P.S: If anyone knows how to start the systems i've marked "Missing Commands", Please let me know
They are mostly BASIC ones
P.S 2: I have the Full set of MAME ROMs v 0.197, in case someone have issues using the commands i have used in mame

Thanks Pr0FiT
I'll see what i go for
currently only downloading smaller amounts of images while importing.
Then comes all the fun work with setting up RetroArch + all the other Emulators

roms & media on NAS, connected to pc through drive mapping, software and emulators installed locally. I should correct myself and add if your games are zipped the startup time is a little bit longer...maybe 5-8 seconds more for a ps2 iso, My assumption is to unzip the entire file has to be transferred then unzipped locally whereas with ISO i think it's just streaming data as needed.
I try to extract the ones i can
Currently holding 5TB of ROMs.
Is there a way to set a default location for Mediafiles?
Changing every platform manually is time consuming
(Starting the import of the library today) -

I do exactly this and it's fine. 2700 roms with images and manuals. Even stream ISO's to my ps3 from the nas...works better than the disc.
Nice
Do you run the entire software from the NAS, or only the Media/ROM files? -
Hi.
Currently setting up a massive collection of ROM for about 50 different systems.
And i want to store all Media files (Images, Video, Manuals ++) on a NAS drive.
All is connected on a GBit interface (NAS has 2GBit)
Would it be a major difference in performance compared to having the media locally?
ROMs are already stored on the same NAS

I know the feeling.
Hopefully I'll have all systems imported by the end of the day. ? Depends how long the check for missing metadata takes.
I see that it now can find a lot of media it should have found before. I don't know why.
