I have been working for a while on an exporter from LaunchBox data into AEL and thought I would probably help someone if I sent the link here. Maybe it could even be added directly to AEL in some way.

The link is https://github.com/jmriego/emulation
The basic instructions are to download that repo, create a config.ini based on the config.ini.example and then run LaunchBox2AEL.py

It should export everything from LaunchBox and let AEL access the images in the LaunchBox folders directly
I use that to have categories, launchers and games populated as easily as possible

Hi Mysticalp, I am getting the following error, not sure if you could see anything that I may have wrong from this error?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Launchbox2AEL.py", line 87, in <module>
    write_files(categories, launchers)
  File "Launchbox2AEL.py", line 69, in write_files
    tree.write(f_rom_base_noext, pretty_print=True)

  File "src\lxml\serializer.pxi", line 770, in lxml.etree._create_output_buffer
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I made sure Launchbox Dir and AEL Dir were correct in config.ini

Thanks

Hi TonyBirt, sorry I didn't see your message earlier.
That error is caused because it cannot find the output folder.
So that's either because there's some issue in config.ini or because AEL was not opened at least once.
Does a folder called "db_ROMs" exist inside the path you configured as AEL directory?

Anyway, just open an issue in https://github.com/jmriego/emulation/issues and I'll help you fix it
