  1. The next trick is to swap these new .chd files for the old ones without losing all the metadata and favorites I've made in #LaunchBox.

  2. Been organizing my #retroGaming collection in #launchbox and despite never playing #basketball games at all, this is the fewest I can manage. Wild cause there weren't really any good ones untill the mid '90s and yet after that there were a dozen every year! I even threw out most of the portable systems!

  3. #LaunchBox lets you give games a 0.5-5.0 star rating and then collects everyone's ratings and averages them out for a "community score".

    Sorting ROMs by their score is helpful for finding good games.

    It also lets you see how many people have scored a game which is a kind of "popularity" score and useful for sorting too.

    Games that aren't well rated are sometimes extra weird, or funky prototypes from japanese services long past.

  4. I have a #miniPC lying around and I decided to install #Linux on it, so I am obligated to tell you about it.

    It's an 11th gen quad core #Intel Core #i5 with 16GB of RAM, and an Intel #Iris #GPU, so it should be good enough for most #retrogaming #emulation.

    First I put #Batocera on it, but that's a little barebones and I couldn't find the low level settings, so I just installed #Ubuntu and #RetroArch instead. Hopefully I can find a #emulator frontend like #launchbox

  5. Got around to trying LaunchBox and it's pretty impressive. It's basically a RetroArch wrapper, which is itself an emulator manager. It just does a lot of nice to have stuff like downloading box art, and connecting to RetroAchievements.

  6. I rolled back to LaunchBox 13.8 and my arcade cabinet is back to being stable again.

    It's a bummer than LaunchBox hasn't admitted that 13.9 has caused problems for across the board and seems to be solely focused on people running Windows 7 and 8. #gaming #launchbox
