Using LaunchBox/BigBox as an archive

[AlexCri]

Hi!

I would like to know if it is possible to add games manually without needing the iso or emulator(a virtual game if you will) for that specific console or gaming device so we can get a full archive of what games we have with details about them(box picture, game description and a small video of gameplay). Basically, exactly BigBox but without the need of the actual game isos.

I want to know this so i can make a full archive list of all my games on all my consoles without the need of additional isos and emulators on a pc.

Thank you in advance and sorry if this is already possible within the options available in the current version of the program.

Cheers!

You can do this but it will require some work on your part. You would simply need something that LB thinks is the game in question so a text file named after the game would suffice and when adding the text file as a rom you might also have to fool the program by providing a text file as a emulator also. Arcade would be an exception because you can import a whole MAME set without actually having the games and when the import asks for a path just put any path in and LB will still use the internal data from MAME to import all working games. Sorry if this isn't what you were looking for but the program isn't intended to be a archiver although like I said if you are willing to do some work with generating text files you can fool the program into being one.

tnx.. will try that... yeah, i know its not really for this. but, maybe someday this feature can be added 'cuz everything is basically already there... just an add game button needs to be added.

cheers for the quick response
