sirpigpin 0 Posted Thursday at 12:04 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:04 AM 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 206 Posted Thursday at 06:39 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:39 AM 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 post Share on other sites
fraganator 63 Posted Thursday at 08:31 AM Share Posted Thursday at 08:31 AM 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 0 Posted Thursday at 09:48 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 09:48 AM 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 post Share on other sites
zugswang 206 Posted Thursday at 10:23 AM Share Posted Thursday at 10:23 AM 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 post Share on other sites
DeadVoivod 31 Posted Friday at 05:53 AM Share Posted Friday at 05:53 AM (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. Edited Friday at 05:55 AM by DeadVoivod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
