Today and for the past couple of days I've been busy installing games on my recent 2003 WinXP build. Then I decided to setup LaunchBox, older version 4.4, to have a more fancy game launcher, rather than just using Windows Explorer shortcuts to batch files (for mounting the CD images etc).
A work in progress, but I'm quite happy so far with how it's running. Running LaunchBox as a "low priority" process, so as to not interfere with running games.
Obviously on these older versions the online scrapers no longer function, but it's local database is enough to fill in the info for about 90% of most games, then I just drag in the game covers & fanart/screenshots manually straight from web. It's easy/quick enough to manually fill in the info for the games it doesn't recognise.
