    So I hear of this LaunchBox thing and decide to learn it.
    I buy the 50 dollar license and proceed to head over to RUclips to start learning.
    Top of the list...ETA PRIME! (I should have known!)
    Once again on yet another system ETA Prime is there to show the way.
    This channel deserves supporting!

    Your launchbox tutorials have been so helpful getting me up and running. Have you ever thought of putting together a play list with all your launchbox videos. It would make it easier for us beginners. Every time I think I've seen all your launchbox videos, I find another, and although I have only loadedy snes roms so far, I have still learned a lot for your other videos. Like I learned how to go full screen from your neogeo video even though I have not downloaded my neogeo ROMs yet. I thank you, your videos have been a big help in getting me up and going.

    Got to say Iv'e only been using Launchbox for a couple of day but i absolutely love it. it makes it a lot easier to chose which game to play when you can see the image and not having to wade through thousands of roms.
    Also I love the fact that you can add windows games I have a couple of hundred games installed on my PC and many of these have shortcuts on my desktop which I admit looks a mess but with Launchbox this takes away the hassle of trying to find space for more shortcuts.

    Bought the premium licence yesterday! and I went for it because of the ETA tutorials are a great help so i feel that I will get the most out of this by fully understanding it. plus it can only get better with updates. I have hyperspin but was running into issues and just took up too much time in forums and was just too time consuming for me to get it right.
    So am in the process now of moving all of the hyperspin assets (5TB!) over to launchbox/bigbox.
    So as it stands i have got as far as porting over megadrive.. but it started downloading new art and videos! so i need to figure out where and how to drag all of my existing videos/art etc to save some bandwidth and redownloading everything again.
    What is great that with the licence I can have this on my pc. then also in the media centre pc. and then the arcade machine at home, you can just clone the drive and then use it which is great when the kids just need to play some games without me having to grab the keyboard and force quit and all this other stuff that hyperspin kept throwin at me.
    for someone who loves games but just hasnt got a lot of time to configure all of this, this is perfect for me

Support is amazing for a couple reasons, In the process of setting it up all you have to do is post the question on the forum and its answered in minutes. (at least it was for me), the other reason is that there are constant updates to fix bugs etc. An added bonus is that if your setting up mame etc. you can download all the box art etc. right from the LB interface and dont have to go through endless torrent searches.

    I may be the only one, but I find the normal Launchbox much better to browse and select games compared to BigBox. BigBox is more if you want to show off your collection to friends or something but if you have 12,000 games like I do, BigBox is to cumbersome to use.

    HOW TO IMPORT ROMS FILES INTO LAUNCHBOX AND PLAY IT SUCCESSFULLY ( if your game said missing some files or you cannot insect your roms ) :
    You should go to archive.org and download two files from your favorite game ( for example my favorite game is Twinkle Star Sprites ) then when u open a game, you will see a list of downloading files on the right, choose ONLY two files to download ( my favorite game has two files called : neogeo and twinkspri ) then download them!After all, u have to copy both of these ones to " roms " folder in "MAMEUi64 " folder, then EXTRACT ONLY file "neogeo" in " roms " folder. Then u just back to MAME emulator or Launchbox emulator to insect the roms of game and play it, it will work by the way! I tried it and successfully! You can contact me more on here if u need to ask more questions, my friend!🙂😃💖💖💖💖
