cleverest Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 I gotta get light guns working too...any suggestion on the ones to get for ease of set up and quality? Any PC display compatible ones you recommend? Quote
cleverest Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Really cool gilbertobaggio6, thanks for sharing! Edited December 27, 2017 by cleverest Quote
GuroDragon Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) My Current Collection is 108,000 games (merged for multi disk and different regions US,JP,EU= 1 game) 105 platforms (arcades are not clearly separated yet) 19.5 TB in size (Most archives are zipped) There are different modes for everyone. My collection is not the cleanest (missing box art, info, screen shots only), especially hard to collect NEC Computer Media. For me its more of a personal archive. For others its about curation and refinement. Edited January 24, 2018 by GuroDragon Correction Quote

Do you audit your collections at all or just wing it best you can? Quote
FRK Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Hi Guys Not read all posts on here but as I am at 93 Systems and 40K+ games I am struggling to even think what's next... I think I might get to 100 with some very odd systems but this would only take my game total to 41K at best... What's the thoughts of others ??? FRK 1 Quote

FRK Same here, including playlists I've created and genre ones, I'm at 100 (probably about 70 platforms if you remove playlists) and 43K titles total not counting comics and vintage video game magazines.....not sure what else to add...I think a lot of larger ones also include non-english titles, duplicates, mame titles that are not merged, multi-disc games that may not be merged, etc......that would make sense...mine does not, except translations to English titles and about 160 jap famicom games, and a few NEC-PC-FX games..

Just counted.. 82 systems and 11 best off/classics.. My collection does contain Fruit Machines/Pinball Machines.... Still might include Taito Type X2 and GOG but as these have to be entered manually one at a time I might leave it to a rainy Sunday... and Touhou project... Edited January 29, 2018 by FRK Quote
flatuswalrus Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 I’ve enjoyed reading through this thread. I do not have the biggest, but just surpassed 50k two nights ago. Creeping up to 51k and probably still rising. I’m one of these completionist types. I’m enjoying the ‘challenge’. Quote

Hi Dane, I just got passed 42K....omitting comics and video game magazines...are you importing only US/EURO sets or do you included japanese/latin games too? I only include translated to english japanes games, except my NEC-PCFX and some Famicom games (translated when possible), and go through great pains to get rid of duplicate versions, demos, betas etc..

Hello, out of the approximate 51k there’d be about 100 gaming magazines but all the rest are games. I have broken quite a few of my systems up into regions and only imported the Japanese exclusives. I actually have seperate categories for translations for the Game Gear, NES, SNES and Mega Drive where I’ve made my own custom main menu clear logos. I like to try and get rid of duplicates, demos and betas too. Though for various systems I have seperate categories for hacks and homebrews like the Atari 2600 for example where I’ve got over 2k games. I have a Sonic the Hedgehog hacks category for the Mega Drive with about 180 games, I find those fun. I’m starting to add all the old pain in the arse computers now which will be frustrating but fun too. Your collection sounds like it’d be very organised and tidy, which I really dig. 2 Quote
strigoimare Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 19820, since I heavily pruned several gamelists. Will still add a few Saturn, PS2 and Dreamcast games, but I won't add my Steam/GOG libraries, which amount now to another 2k games. I prefer to keep those separate. Quote
Retrofrogg Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) It would be pretty handy for there to be a feature in LB which lists ALL of the possible systems and perhaps the number of available games for those systems. I don't think that the LB Games Database does this? Edited April 20, 2018 by Dan 1 Quote
FRK Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 I'm at 46K with about 2K worth of 3ds and wiiu roms to include.. Quote
Solo Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) I am at 55.5k games and 180 platforms, still working on adding about 40 more systems. Edited May 28, 2018 by Solo Quote
cleverest Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 Curious HOW you guys are storing your collections...I just use an 8TB Seagate USB external drive, but now I'm starting to struggle with space now with my 46k collection (I also have 7k more TotalDos games, but they are a mess and I'm going through deleting what I already have on their from eXoDOS collection, but it's a slow process...

Thanks, yes it would be good to be able to split stuff up via some official list housed in the database. Although there are sites and forums out there which one can discover lists of exclusive titles for various titles sometimes you do have to dig a little which can be time consuming. 1 Quote
