LogicalEgo Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 I may have missed it some where but can you scrap a specific file type per system? My PSX library contains cue and bin files, the scrapper is picking up both so my collection has about 10 of the same games in the scrap results. I would prefer to exclude scrapping the bin files and make cue priority.
DOS76 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 You have to use search in file explorer type cue into the search box and then drag all of the resulting files into LaunchBox
LogicalEgo Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Kind of a weird work around but I guess that will do
DOS76 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 It works so well that it doesn't even seem like a work around to me anymore.
SentaiBrad Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 So if you need help with a specific system, we have tutorials on our YouTube channel which you can get to by clicking the link in my signature. When you import games (Tools -> Rom Import) select "Add Files". Navigate to your PS1 games folder. In that root folder at the top right where it says Windows Search type "*.cue" with the quotations. It will search for anything in that folder and any subfolders that ends with .cue. This isn't a workaround, it's left open like this so that it can be as powerful as users need it.
niglurion Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Funny, I've never thought to import an entire folder at once like that. Especially for playstation which has a ton of different file types. I've always imported my games with a simple drag'n drop in LB. I just select the desired file type (.cue) and drag in the right plateform. I've discovered your method in your Emulating Sega Saturn with RetroArch video, Brad Good to know.
DOS76 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I prefer to just go into File Explorer do the search there and drag the files into LaunchBox it saves you a few steps in the import process and it is basically doing the same thing.
LogicalEgo Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 I guess I should have been more clear when I said odd. I didn't mean it in a negative way but that I did not have to do that for my Sega CD library.
DOS76 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 What format are your Sega CDs in mine are .bin and .cue and unless I pick the file type I want every game will have multiple files.
LogicalEgo Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Mine are also in bin cue but for some reason it only picked up the cue files. That was the reason I was surprised when I ported over PSX and saw like 15 entries for each game haha.
marcoooo Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 hello a extension filter would be nice with the import function i imported 420 future pinball tables i selected the main folder named tables for import each table is in a seperate folder some tables has more file then only the *.ftp one and the result was that lauch box showed 824 entry's because they are in a seprate folder the filter trick in explorer and then drag and drop wont work :)
SentaiBrad Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Why does that not work? Rom import or drag and drop, the filter feature will give you ONLY the files you have searched for. If you need multiple passes it's easier to do that in the Rom Importer instead. Windows search is your extension filter.
marcoooo Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 glad i post this in the noob section :) plz ignore mine reply it work as you said ... i learnt something thx
SentaiBrad Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 No problem, that's what I'm here for. If you need more help we have a tutorial series on our YouTube channel that you can get to from the link in my signature.
