sirpigpin Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hello! I have a LB/BB -RetroArch question... Is there a prefered file format for LB/BB for the different roms? for example, I have my PS1 games in folders with the .pbp and .ini files inside. However, this seems to create dummy entries with LB/BB scans the folder. Should I/ Can I convert those to .zip or .iso and let LB scan them that way? This also seemed to happen with my Dreamcast roms. I am sure I can go in and hide 'broken' games from the gui, but I would rather just scan what I need. Thanks for your help!

zugswang Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 To scan you pbp and ini files, when in the folder search for pbp only and then drag them into the Launchbox folder then selecting your games. Then on the pbp files will show in your list of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraganator Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi @sirpigpin To add to @zugswang's answer, search from the top level PS1 rom folder using the highlighted search field in File Explorer. That will then list only pbp files. Once the search is complete, select them all and drag them into LaunchBox to be imported. In this case you're probably best off removing all the PS1 games from LaunchBox first, then importing them again. The same technique can be used for any file type, including gdi or cue files.

sirpigpin Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Thanks! So, separating the .pbp files from the others won't break the game? What is the purpose of the other files then? I am going to rescan with only the .pbp anyway. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zugswang Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 No, just separate them to get the database and all on Launchbox That is correct how you are doing it in the image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) What are the .ini files for if I may ask? I only use .pbp files for PSX, but never had any .ini file. Plus they don't need to be inside folders, only if it's a multi disc game and you're using .m3u files.
