Truest1 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 hey guys anyone know why launchbox or bigbox keeps making a folder called Temp in launchbox folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Because it's a temporary folder it uses to extract roms to to load them and then deletes the contents of that folder when you are done playing the game. It is normal and required when you have your roms compressed in zip or 7z format since most emulators cannot read those file formats.

But I also have a 4rb Launchbox build that does not creat a temp folder. At least not in the same location I'm guessing. Is there a way to chose what location maybe?

C-Beats Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 That temp folder isn't the one we create. Ours is in \\LaunchBox\Metadata\Temp. You probably have a third party app or plugin in use doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superrob3000 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 That's probably from ThirdScreen. Are you sure you deleted all plugins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did but put it back when the folder was still being regenerated. But this file showed up in it now. I can try again to delete all plugins and try again.
