Questions about Launchbox setup.

[Axolotl]

I have Launchbox installed and the ROMs are in their proper folders. I'm ready to start installing and configuring cores and emulators.

1. I recently followed Retro Game Corps awesome guide on setting up ES-DE on a Retroid Pocket 6 (I have the 5). It was almost a 2 hour video but it showed how to set up the individual emulators. Is there a similar recent tutorial for Launchbox? Could I still use his guide to set up the emulators for Launchbox?

2. I'm using Windows 11 pro on a mini-pc. I have a 512GB main OS drive and a 1TB SSD where Launchbox is installed. I would like to keep everything self-contained but I don't know best practices. Is it best to install the stand-alone emulators on the C or D drive? Is there a special location on C or D where you like to keep your stand-alone emulators?

Edit: He used Obtainium which made installing the latest emulators super easy. Is there anything like that for Windows 11? This topic may need moved since it seems to be about emulators.

1: Emulators are pretty agnostic. There might be tweaks per device mostly involving asthetic stuff that you can push or scale back on better or worse devices. Is this new setup on android or windows? His guides would probably do fine for setting them up generally. 

2: Well that answers my question. The quality of the drive matters more than which or where. If they are both SSDs they'll run everything the same. You can put it all on your secondary drive. I personally create a folder called Emulators in LB main directory, although LB might do this automatically by now.

3: There are hundreds of videos per emulator, just google "emulator guide" and you'll probably find one. Also, feel free to ask any more questions here in the forums! Remember to always test games in the emulator outside of launchbox first, so if something doesn't work we can tell if its the emulator or LB. 

 

Goodluck!
