Trying new things

[DOS76]

Hey everyone I've been obsessively adding platforms to LaunchBox all week. I got PS1 (1293 games) and Nintendo Gamecube (546 games) added over the last 5 days and it took a lot of work to get it how I wanted it plus a lot of large file transfers from my server to an external connected to my main gaming PC. In the process I noticed that I hadn't gotten around to re-adding my SNES games due to having a bad corruption issue effecting my games from the letter S thru V so I replaced them with a new set of ROMS. I added them tonight and while testing a few of them in the middle of editing my metadata (or lack there of) I noticed I had games that wouldn't load in Snes9x and some games like Super Star Wars and SSW Empire Strikes Back that had terrible crackling noise in them when you loaded them so I went looking for an alternative emulator and ran across a build of Snes9x-sx on The Old Computer I unzipped it and tested it and it fixed both the games that wouldn't load but also any games with crackling sound. I was so happy with this find that I went into LaunchBox added Snes9x-sx as my regular emulator for SNES. Hopefully this can help out someone else using Snes9x. On another note I updated my Dolphin emulator to the highest number release candidate for Dolphin 5.0 and I am happy to say that this has fixed issues with games that also had crackling audio and other games that were displaying a black screen with sound during some of the intro scenes for Gamecube games. It even fixed the issue with Avatar crashing Dolphin though the game is still unplayable due to running super slow. If you are using Dolphin give the new release client a go I think you will be pleased.
