• I wrote an app for myself to filter my library by HLTB

  I've done something similar before with Playnite (an open-source PC game library manager), which has an HLTB plugin. Source: 5 months ago

• Tags no longer register and i've finally had it with galaxy 2.0. Any recommended alternatives?

  Playnite: The one with the most features and libraries available via addons and has a lot of options for customization. In my opinion the best one available for this purpose. Source: 5 months ago

• What tools do I install?

  As for my LGO, the only other app I've installed outside of the standard launcher was Playnite to consolidate all games into one place as Legion Space doesn't detect everything I have installed and I don't want to manage manually adding games to their launcher. Source: 5 months ago

• Login in to various stores when launching games

  Use playnite instead of the individual launchers. Source: 5 months ago

• Steam Deck OLED

  Here is where I come in and recommend everyone check out Playnite: https://playnite.link/ When I care about supporting a developer or publisher and they offer their product on their own storefront DRM-free, I will often go there to buy. Or I buy from GoG which takes a smaller cut. Playnite lets me launch my Steam and non-Steam games in a seamless fashion. Steam still does a great job as a game installer/patch... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Is there a way to rename/organise arcade roms?

  Probably need to do it outside of retroarch. Use clrmamepro https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/. It is a bit cryptic but does the job. There is a guide on the retroarch site about how to use it. Source: 11 months ago

• How to rebuild old MAME 0.180 set to 0.254?

  You can use CLRMAMEPRO to scan your current ROMs and re-build them to target whatever version of MAME you want. Source: 11 months ago

• Is there a tool to clean up media files like snapshots and cabinets ?

  I use ClrMamePro to do the audit, and dat files from Progetto Snaps, which are kept up to dates on a regular basis. You can also download any updates/new files from there as well. Awesome resource. Source: about 1 year ago

• Organising Games

  Dat files are used with certain programs that help you determine if your romset is the correct set. You can use the dat files with programs such as RomCenter or ClrMAMEPro. Source: about 1 year ago

• Mame rom pack.

  I've seen some few super neurotic folks that download non-merged* sets and pick them apart, but most people just d/l the full set and a program like clrmamepro to trim the bulk of the roms off, since it changes so often that it's not worth cherry-picking them by hand. Using one of these programs is a snap, as they can curate a ROM list in a relatively small amount of time. Source: about 1 year ago
