Hello everyone. Is there a way to search for the specific name of an imported rom? (The actual name of the Rar archive/Rom). Especially when we are talking "Hacks", Roms can be named many different things. An example : A smb1 hack named "Blink", Gets renamed "Wrath of the black mantra"; Took me ages to find out ?

That might sound like a good idea, Do you get a better performance that way? I just have a 20TB HDD solely for Launchbox + games Is there a performance impact with more demanding games???

Thank's for trying to help, I got it fixed Why the ?#¤%&%¤#¤%& have windows 10 changed the drive letter of my external hdd where Launchbox are installed??, I've personally chosen that letter myself to avoid conflicts with other drives. Windows changed it to I: (But why?)

Thank's for answering (At least), But no!!! After i had an unexplainable occurrence where i lost over 400 nes files (They simply vanished into thin air) i'm more a control freak than ever. I have all the roms in my folders and all the emulators are also still present in their folders.And every single rom is in a rar archive due to schizophrenia of losing them if they're i a raw format

And rolling back to a previous restore backup don't change anything (Apparently), Tried the backup that was created right before i closed the Launchbox window and backups from 10 days ago (No luck). Also tried to roll windows back to a restore point made a week ago (Didn't think it would anyway, But who knows??)

Also just wanted to add that all my folders for all media/Games/emulators are inside Launchbox's directory which has the letter A:

Hi community. As the title says!! this is the error i get when trying to boot a game in Launchbox?, And it seems it goes for all the different emulators i use to run Nes games (i using 6 different). I think it occurred after i moved 2 roms to another folder from the game folder in Launchbox, And the by accident closed the Launchbox window immediately after (something got messed up). The reason i'm not just importing the roms again, Is because they're set with different emulators (mostly retroarch), And we are talking a little over 3000 roms in total. Cheers

Hmm, There seems to be nothing wrong with my internet connection and Launchbox are not blocked in outbound rules on my firewall. Alkso the entire A:/ drive where launchbox is located is excluded from both win defender and malwarebytes. As no one else has posted this problem, It's probably only on my end. It's of course possible that something is blocking the access, But i have no idea what it could be??

Hi. For the past 3 days the "Refreshing Local metadata from the Launchbox games Database" has been incredible slow when importing roms the 1st time. Today it took almost 20 minutes before it started to import the roms, Could any of you mods notify Jason on this??. Regards.

It's a good idea, But there is a ton to reinstall ? For now i made a new user account and synced/Imported most of my stuff from the previous account.

Yeah. Trying to adapt to the Brave browser at the moment.

I previously experienced that windows defender in a nice cooperation with google chrome deleted some files i downloaded (Windows 10 has really gotten aggressive), But since then i always made sure to exclude my important files/folders and drives on both malwarebytes and windows defender. Chrome blocked the download and defender jumped in and wiped them (thank's Microsoft), And i also blocked windows 10 updates since then. I surely don't hope it's my drive which cost me a small fortune (20 tb don't come cheap). I can't get myself to make a clean win 10 install and loose close to 4tb.

No! Just checked and it's not ticked. I don't think it's recoverable, More looking for some issue brainstorming on what the heck went wrong. But thank's for taking your time ? (Probably sleepwalking)

So i was in the middle of adding images to my NES rom hacks when i started getting the message that the game didn't exist i my game folder which i have imported to launchbox itself. Then i took a look at my game folder and noticed that it only consisted of 1630 roms where it previously held over 2000?. I know that i imported over 2000 to begin with, So how on earth is it possible for those roms to completely vanish from that folder?? ( i have not personally deleted anything??). I've looked everywhere on my pc , I've added exclusions on both windows defender and malwarebytes to the entire A:/ drive which is my external HDD on 20tb, Now i have also excluded my download folder (Just in case). Neither of my antivirus programs have found any viruses on my pc (full scans), My WD 20tb is just 2 months old and should work flawlesly (no errors or bad sectors), I've checked everywhere on my pc to see if i should have transferred them to another folder(why would i), There's nothing in my recycle bin and recuva couldn't find any rom files to recover??. It's a complete mystery and oh boy is it frustrating, How is this possible?? I'VE BEEN BLOODY CURSED, No more Castlevania 3.

Are you sure it's a Read-only issue under properties?, I don't think it is! (I could be wrong of course). What game/rom is it??, If it's a hack or translated rom it often happens that Launchbox get's confused and imports it under a different name or completely think's it's an entirely different game ?. Try looking for it under it's english or japanese name, Some of my best moments consists of finding a wrongly titled rom among 943 others. Or maybe Launchbox thinks it's already imported and refuses to add it, If that's the case remember to tick the box that says "Force importing duplicate games",

Hoorayy (If anyone cares??? i managed to find a few that managed to have controls for the damn hack, But they suck big time, Except 1 which is Bizhawk. And here comes the weird part???, Almost all of the emulators starts the game at the beginning, While bizhawk starts the game in an under-water world where the game ends after completing the stage???.

Have you added it to Launchbox? Choose manage emulators, Add, name it FS-UAE, Set the application path (fs-uae.exe), and under associated platforms write the name of the platform you are going to use. Click OK!!

That might be it. I just thought it froze at the start screen, But it could also be that the controls are not responding (I also assigned the controls to the keyboard without any luck)

Thank's. for trying to help me. Sadly i can't boot the game with Rocknes either, Maybe it requires another version of the emulator. But i was able to extract this information about the rom. File: Alex Kidd DX (SMB1 Hack)-1.nes Format......: NES Mapper......: 000 - NROM Data size...: 32K PRG ROM (2 x 16KiB banks) (PRG CRC $4B0EF777) 8K CHR ROM (1 x 8KiB banks) (CHR CRC $9B85E08D) Mirroring...: vertical. Battery save: no Trainer data: no 4-screen....: no VS System...: no PlayChoice10: no File size: 40976 bytes. CRC32: $9E079766

Okay, I'll just name a folder and place the backup file in that. Hope i can finally complete the NES and Snes platforms, And then i want to give big-box a go.

Yes!! Exactly that. Instead of time and date, You could give it a custom name.

BTW!! Will it work if i remove a backup restore archive and add it again later in Launchbox?, It's easier to keep a track of if you give them a custom name and store them somewhere else for later use. Will it work as long as the folder structure is the same??.

Most of them have no covers attached when i look under edit (They are just empty), but i know i added them a couple of days ago, But all of the media are still in their folders in launchbox Well i don't hope it happens again, Had to redo almost 90 images. Now i decided to make a restore backup whenever i complete a platform.

Hi!!. I know this is silly (Kind of), But i've been wrecking my mind for a couple of hours now for an Nintendo nes emulator to play a rom hack called Alex Kidd (SMB1 Hack). And i simply can't find a emulator that will run this game, It loads to the front screen but are completely stuck there!!. Until now i've been trying all 5 nes cores in Retroarch, Higan, Mednaffen, Virtuanes, FCEUX, Jnes, And both Mesen and nestopia standalone (None of these will load the game. If anyone got the time, feel free to hit me with more unknown obscure nes emulators ❓

Hi. Why are images suddenly not showing in Launchbox, So i just booted up Launchbox and found out that there are a nice amount of cover-images not showing up on my NES platform. This is something that at some point always seems to happen in these 3 years i been using Launchbox (It always happens sooner or later). So i wanted to ask if there is something you can do to prevent this from happening, Maybe placing images somewhere or somehow backing them up???. Most of the covers missing are funny enough from homebrew games and not original NES titles.
