I don’t know about you all, but I purchased access to this collection. The website claims you’ll receive the password immediately, but they haven’t sent it or responded to my emails. It seems I’ve been forgotten =/ @-McFly-

Hi Zanuto. The password is shown on the screen immediately after donating, some miss it :( I just sent you an email with the password, let me know if you don't get it.

There is a very long answer here but basically, you need to get a hold of all the games you want then replace your .xml files in your Data folder with mine, overwriting yours. There will still be some work to do by yourself, like making sure the correct emulators are in place and working, the paths all work, etc.

Try reinstalling Launchbox in the same place

Not working, keeps lagging/freezing

 

Is there any minimum spec requirements?

If not, we can even make a screensharing if you are up to

 

Thanks in advance!

I'm running mine right now on an i7 laptop... what are you using? Try removing some of the bigger .xml files in the Data/Platforms folder, see if you can pinpoint what system/s might be causing the issue? I'd also go through all the xml files and check the file paths, Notepad++ makes this much easier. I use 5 drives, H I J K L so these will need to be changed if you're not using these drives... I've tried to symlink all game paths to the Launchbox/Games folder but some need to stay in the /Emulators folder for technical reasons. I'd also make sure your computer is up to date (which I'm sure you've checked) and watch Task Manager for whatever is slowing everything down.

Hm... if requirements are high, then...

if this should be fine, 

 

I am going now to check next tasks, but if I need more CPU/GPU power than what I have, then I should get a better specs pc

  1. Removing Large XML Files: As you mentioned, removing or temporarily relocating larger XML files in the Data/Platforms folder can help identify if any specific system is causing the issue.

  2. Checking File Paths: Using Notepad++ to go through all the XML files and verify the file paths is a great idea. This can help ensure there are no broken links or incorrect paths that might be causing problems.

  3. Drive Letters: Since you use multiple drives (H, I, J, K, L), make sure to update the paths accordingly if your setup uses different drive letters. Symlinking game paths to the Launchbox/Games folder is a good practice, but as you noted, some files might need to stay in the /Emulators folder.

Part of this i think it is becuase of the computer sepcs

 

That second error means your computer doesn't have the ms-gamingoverlay file, i think this is the XBOX one but I may be mistaken. Try here - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cant-open-ms-gaming-overlay-link/906df8a1-73bc-4eb3-9abd-f34c437ee482 Or it can be downloaded from the windows store... or elsewhere if you don't have that for whatever reason. I'm also seeing that your memory is topped out, that definitely won't help. Adding more memory will help, but your CPU will then be the bottleneck... I'd cut back on how many of the XML files you load each time, see if that helps any.
