Retro808 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Launchbox would not touch any media, games, or emulators you added. When you did the reinstall of 12.2 did you confirm it installed to the correct folder? Many times users did not notice it installed into a second Launchbox folder. \Launchbox\Lunchbox and when they open it they see nothing. Much in the same way you stated happened. Is the media actually missing from within their folders or just missing from within LB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a lot of homemade stuff very disappointing☹️ Yeah as @Retro808 said check your install path, if your current path is D:\Launchbox for example, you would install to D:\ not D:\Launchbox, as that would create a new Launchbox folder inside of your current Launchbox folder, which is we suspect what has happened here if you launch it and it's empty, it's because it is a empty Install inside of the Launchbox folder.

wemr97dl Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Yeah lots of missing files, i believe hard drive is toast, Going to order a new one, I did exactly what you thought i did first and found it on my own after posting. Then started getting drive flag from windows, tried Scan and Fix, Not the thing to do, A lot of misc. files missing , HBMame install almost completely gone, not sure why Windows would dump them during the "FIX" had the entire drive as an exception in Defender. Thanks for the advice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
